New Sherlock series alert
Some notes on A Scandal In Belgravia
Last night we went to the press launch of the new series of Sherlock. It’s back on BBC One in the New Year. In fact, doing a bit of Sherlock-esque deducing we’d be very surprised if the Beeb didn’t announce that it was going to be shown on Sundays nights.
Anyway – some notes follow:
It’s utterly, utterly brilliant. In fact, it’s one of the best pieces of television we’ve ever seen.
We wanted to jump up and applaud (but we didn’t)
There’s a gay character in it that we really fancied, but never expected to (and we told them so after the screening – they loved it)
David Arnold’s music is wonderful
It’s more like a piece of cinema than a television programme
It’s hilarious
It’s very sad
It’s the first of three new 90 minute adventures – the other two are The Hounds of Baskerville and The Reichenbach Fall
Sherlock and Watson are not gay
Lara Pulver is amazing as Irene Adler
Mark Gatiss is wonderful as Mycroft, particularly in a scene with Benedict Cumberbatch where the pair discuss emotions
Sherlock and Watson are definitely not gay
Moriarty is still hot
Sherlock has a new coat
Sherlock isn’t wearing any pants
In fact you see more of Sherlock than you’ve ever seen before
Caitlin Moran hosted the Q&A after the episode and today Tweeted this: Yesterday's Sherlock premiere was astonishing – I think it might actually be totally perfect. Everyone's going to do their nut when they see it
She’s right
