Holmesian

Haven't seen anyone mention this but thought it might be of interest even though it's a Children's BBC programme:

Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars
4:30pm - 5:30pm, BBC1, Sunday 25th March

Part 1 of 2

Set amidst the sinister and foggy streets of late Victorian London, Sherlock Holmes And The Baker Street Irregulars tells a tale of murder, mystery and intrigue. When Sherlock Holmes is called in by Scotland Yard to investigate the mysterious death of one of their detectives, he enlists the help of the Baker Street Irregulars: a rag-tag group of street kids who have learnt to fend for themselves on the harsh streets of London town.

It stars Jonathan Pryce as Holmes and Bil Paterson as Watson.

This reminded me of a 1980s BBC kid's show that I thought was called "The Baker Street Irregulars". After much googling, it turns out I'm thinking of The Baker Street Boys. God bless the Internet.

My memories of it are vaguely positive, but as I was ten at the time, I'm not sure I still trust my judgement there. Frankly, I'm not sure that I trust my judgement now.

In Holmesian news, I saw this rumour, though I take it with many pinches of salt.
