Sherlock is a modern take on that age old sleuth, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is a BBC show primarily written by Steven Moffat, (who also writes much of the popular BBC show, Doctor Who, of which I am quite fond) and Mark Gatiss. Gatiss co-stars in Sherlock as Mycroft Holmes, and he also has written some episodes of Doctor Who.
The show stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes, Martin Freeman as John Watson, along with Mark Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes, Una Stubbs as Mrs. Hudson, Rupert Graves as DI Lestrade, Louise Brealey as Molly Hooper, and Andrew Scott as James Moriarty.
