I didn't know there had been a pilot, never broadcast, of 60 minutes, which the BBC decided wasn't long enough. This is incredibly brilliant in its reworking of the Sherlock Holmes myth into contemporary London, that Watson is still an ex-Afghanistan soldier is entirely and ironically fitting. Holmes' deductions are quite apt and clever; their growing friendship sets it apart. The actual murder story - Phil Davies forces people to choose between the good pill and the bad one - is somewhat crazy.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman - inspired casting. Plus Rupert Graves, Una Stubbs, Louise Brealy, Vinette Robinson, Stanley Townsend, Mark Gatiss.
Has a quite incredible editing style too Charlie Phillips, photographed by Steve Lawes.
