Abstract

Sherlock is a mini drama produced by the BBC. This drama is starred by Sherlock Holmes, who is a well known man to every family all over the world, he was moved to the screen many times in the past, people all over the world were attracked by the smart, haughty, arrogant but lonely genius detective once again and again. The film depicts the image Sherlock very meticulously. John·H·Watson, a great Britain gentleman, also attracted many Chinese audience. This TV drama is based on the famous detective novel written by English novelist Arthur Conan Doyle. It moves the background from the 19C to the 21C. The fashionable and talented detective Sherlock Holmes and his fantastic assistant John·H· Watson are facing a lot of dangerous and unusual events in London.

There is quite a lot of differences between this fashionable Sherlock and the classical one. In Tv series he is a fashionable person, he uses Blackberry to send masagers. He takes taxi instead of gharry. He writes blog, he even becomes a hot writer on twitter. The same thing is that he is thin and tall, sagacious and always shows quick response all the time. He is also good at biology and his incredible outsight shocks the audience all the time. The change of the new Sherlock dosen't make us fell uncomfortable, but the quick plot and the mixture of many stories of the novel in every episode makes a deep impression to Holmes’s fans. All of the changes show that this Holmes belongs to our times.
