Sherlock is a British television series produced by Hartswood Films for BBC, co-produced with WGBH Boston for its Masterpiece anthology series. It was created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, who each wrote one episode. Paul McGuigan directed the first and third episodes; Euros Lyn directed the second, which was written by Stephen Thompson.

It is a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson. Una Stubbs appears as their landlady Mrs. Hudson, Zoe Telford as Watson's girlfriend Sarah, and Rupert Graves as DI Lestrade.

Filming took place at various locations, including London and Cardiff. The three-part series was transmitted on BBC One and BBC HD, in July and August 2010. Critical reception has been mostly positive. The first series, along with the unaired pilot and audio commentaries, was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on 30 August 2010. See Less
