MASTERPIECE MYSTERY - SHERLOCK - PBS VIDEO: 'A STUDY IN PINK' - AIRS SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 AT 10/9C
Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman, The Office UK) is back in modern-day London after serving in the war in Afghanistan. His therapist, convinced that Watson is plagued by violent memories, urges him to express himself in a blog. But nothing much ever happens to Watson, and it's not that he's haunted by the war — he longs for it. Enter an eccentric roommate — one Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch, The Last Enemy). He plays the violin when he's thinking, sometimes doesn't talk for days, and has a dubious career as a self-described consulting detective. When what appear to be serial suicide cases surface in London, a desperate Detective Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves, The Forsyte Saga) reluctantly consults the freakish Sherlock. To Sherlock, a crime spree is like Christmas — only made better by the possibility that these crimes may be the work of a devious serial killer. The game is on, and before it is over, Sherlock will put his life on the line — all to keep from being bored to death. Sherlock is based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle'sSherlock Holmes and is co-created by Doctor Who producers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
Guest stars include Una Stubbs, Loo Brealey, Vinette Robinson, Tanya Moodie, Siobhan Hewlett, William Scott-Masson and Victoria Wicks.

COLLIDER: Kris Holden-Ried Talks LOST GIRL and UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING
by Christina Radish
January 13th, 2012
On the supernatural drama series Lost Girl, premiering on Syfy January 16th, actor Kris Holden-Ried plays Dyson, a sexy homicide detective who also happens to be a 1,000-year-old wolf-shifter. While he works to help keep the existence of the Fae a secret, he instantly develops an attraction for Bo (Anna Silk), a Succubus who was raised human and only recently learned what she is, and attempts to ensure her safety, especially since she has a tendency to place herself in danger.
During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, Kris Holden-Ried talked about what drew him to Lost Girl, his approach in bringing Dyson to life, that he physically carries himself differently to play a wolf, how lucky he feels to be working with an ensemble of such fantastic individuals, and how amazing it is to have such loyal fans. He also talked about playing a much more vicious werewolf in Underworld: Awakening (the latest installment to the franchise, opening on January 20th), being the antagonist to Kate Beckinsale’s character Selene, working with two directors on the film, and being naked in 3D...
... Question: What initially attracted you to Lost Girl and the character of Dyson?
Kris Holden-Ried: "All I had to go on, when I first agreed to do it, was the pilot script and that they were going to be shooting it in Toronto. I really liked the script. The original pilot script ended up being Episode 8 in Season 1. It’s probably the darkest episode, and I was really attracted to that. I liked the possibilities that the storyline and the genre offered. I liked the character of Dyson and the chance to play something that’s so outside of myself. He’s superhuman and 1,000 years old. Those are very interesting challenges, as far as acting goes, and there’s also a lot of freedom of personal expression, within that. I really enjoyed that..."
