OK, now you're making me nervous. I was all hyped up about it, and you've made me start thinking.
Sherlock Holmes is such a work of its period. A modern adaptation...how does that even work? Without hansom cabs and telegrams and the Baker Street Irregulars, how can it be Sherlock Holmes? Not to mention the whole cocaine thing, which has entirely different connotations today than it did a hundred years ago.
Okay, I'm breathing and repeating my new mantra. I trust the Moff...I trust the Moff... (who's the other guy? I've never seen The League of Gentlemen. What did he write for Doctor Who?)
