Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. Nine episodes have been produced, the first three of which aired in 2010. Series two aired in 2012, and a third series aired in 2014. The third series has become the UK's most watched drama series since 2001.[1] Sherlock has been sold to over 200 territories.[2] The writers said that Freeman's casting developed the way in which Cumberbatch played Holmes.[11] The theme of "friendship" appealed to both Gatiss and Moffat.[24] Gatiss asserted the importance of achieving the correct tone for the character. Rupert Graves was cast as DI Greg Lestrade. Amanda Abbington plays Mary Morstan, Watson's girlfriend and then wife.

He worries his fingers over the bones of his elbow and I just take him in for a moment. He hasn't cut his hair yet, though he will have to soon. The curls frizz out around his forehead and I know he's been running his hands through his hair. In frustration? I nod and go into the kitchen.

With a package of biscuits clamped in my mouth, I carry over the mugs of tea, setting the biscuits and his mug on the table in front of him, and backing away to sit in the armchair to his right.

I know it's because he thinks he's going to die, but he doesn't realize how fiercely against that idea I am.

Clearing my throat, I set Sherlock's mug down and take a sip from my own. He's typing when he finally responds, "My brother is having his men come and fetch me.
