Unlocking Sherlock

A television documentary from 2014, this 56 minute short film explores the BBC television series 'Sherlock' with interviews by the actors and writers of the show. Fans are given a behind-the-scenes look at the passion and process of bringing sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved character to the screen. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (creators of BBC's 'Sherlock') see their lifelong dream achieved by giving their boyhood hero new life in this modern adaptation set in 21st century London. Because of their love of Doyle's master detective, Gatiss and Moffat try to stick closely to the original stories. They succeeded. So much so that, in a repeat of the 1893 event in which Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes from his stories, today's audiences (more than 100years later) were just as distraught at the death of their beloved hero. Sherlock Holmes fans, both then and now, came up with their own theories as to how Holmes may have survived. If you love this show, you will thoroughly enjoy 'Unlocking Sherlock'.
