NPR: The Man Who Revitalized 'Doctor Who' And 'Sherlock'

May 3, 2012

TV writer and producer Steven Moffat specializes in injecting new life into old, familiar characters and stories. He first worked his magic on the revived edition of Doctor Who, leading to several BAFTA and Hugo Awards for the series.

More recently, he has turned his eye to the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. As the co-creator of the critically acclaimed BBC series Sherlock, Moffat is responsible for updating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional creation for a modern-day audience.

The series, which is set to start its second season on PBS Masterpiece on May 6, stars the charismatic British actor Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role. Cumberbatch's Sherlock is now a 21st century Londoner who uses GPS and text messaging to solve crimes alongside his partner Dr. Watson, played by Martin Freeman...

Masterpiece Mystery's Sherlock premieres Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 9/8C on PBS.

SERIES RETURN: Three new stories are all there are of Season 2 of Sherlock, this excellent updated version starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson. This first adventure is a naughty, natty update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Scandal in Bohemia called 'A Scandal in Belgravia,' setting Holmes on a case involving a well-positioned dominatrix.

A Daily Guide To Notable Shows


... Sherlock

9-10:31 PM PBS, SEASON PREMIERE

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are back in the wittily filmed modernizations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes tales. The first one, based on Conan Doyle's "A Scandal in Bohemia," finds Cumberbatch's Sherlock tied up with dominatrix Irene Adler (Lara Pulver), who's blackmailing the royal family with compromising photos. The new season pops with all the visual energy of the first, and the script by Doctor Who and Tintin writer Steven Moffat captures both Conan Doyle's arch leaps of logic and his contemporary badinage. Freeman's Watson remains the perpetually nettled blogger of Sherlock's adventures, and Mark Gatiss makes the most of his small but crucial role as Sherlock's pained and proper brother.

7:00 PM, SYFY

Thirteen proves to be a very unlucky number for quality actors -- including Tony Shalhoub, F. Murray Abraham, Embeth Davidtz and Matthew Lillard -- in this relentlessly loud and crass remake of William Castle's hilariously cheap 1960 chiller about a group trapped in a house with vengeful spirits. "We are in the middle of a machine designed by the devil and powered by the dead," a psychic gasps. Hey, lady, what do you think "fixer-upper" means, anyway?
