Following the success of the Sherlock Holmes film, BBC decided to create a drama which is based around the Sherlock Holmes novels. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as 'Sherlock' and Martin Freeman as 'Watson', the drama is an updated version of Sherlock Holmes tales, which intend to engage a younger teenage and adult demographic. The BBC drama is a revival of cult figures in British dramas, with the likes of Doctor Who and other shows proving to be a success. Though, Sherlock takes inspiration form Guy Ritchie's film and takes a more contemporary stance to the 1980s BBC adaptions, with familiar stars such as Martin Freeman.
From the creators of Doctor Who, Sherlock is on a three episode run and will prove to be even more successful due its huge viewer following. With huge investments of licence payers money, the drama will continue onto its second series, following its success.
