Sherlock Alert

[bryant]

PBS is running the Steven Moffatt Sherlock tonight and the following two Sundays, so you might want to watch that. The gimmick: it's Sherlock and Holmes in 2010. Doesn't change that much: Watson is still an Afghanistan veteran and all. Not deep, but fun. And now you can't say I didn't tell you.

Is Holmes still a coke fiend?

No, but he's still an addict.

Seeing as my understanding is that at the time a cocaine addition wasn't illegal but was socially frowned upon, the replacement addiction is probably actually a pretty decent stand in. No illegal, but likely to result is social problems if openly indulged.

I caught a bit of an interview with Moffat and a co-writer a week or so ago after which we made sure to note down when it started airing here.
