Their landlady, Mrs. Hudson (Una Stubbs), acts as a de facto housekeeper for them. Sherlock's first case, "A Study in Pink", sees him apprehend cabbi-turned-serial killer Jeff Hope (Phil Davis). Their confrontation escalates to the point that John, who's followed Sherlock unnoticed to the scene, shoots the cabbie out of fear for Sherlock's life. However, Sherlock manages to extract from the dying cabbie that he was being sponsored in his crimes by a figure called Moriarty, who is apparently a "fan" of Sherlock's.The case seals Sherlock and John's friendship. In their next case, "The Blind Banker", they uncover a Chinese smuggling ring, which is again implied to have been linked to Moriarty."The Great Game" sees Sherlock being baited into solving a series of "puzzles" by Moriarty, who is as yet unseen. Each puzzle involves solving an undetected crime, with the additional incentive being that failure to solve the crime within a set time will lead to the death of an innocent bystander. Simultaneously, Sherlock works on recovering the missing Bruce-Partington Plans for his older brother Mycroft (Mark Gatiss), who is a powerful figure in the British government. The series ends with Sherlock encountering Moriarty (Andrew Scott) by a swimming pool, where Moriarty warns Sherlock that he will destroy him.Series 2Moriarty's pool-side encounter with Sherlock ends abruptly when Moriarty receives a cellphone call from dominatrix Irene Adler (Lara Pulver). In "A Scandal in Belgravia", Sherlock is assigned by Buckingham Palace to recover some damaging photographs in Irene's camera phone. Sherlock meets Irene but is outwitted and fails to retrieve her phone. She becomes "the Woman" in his mind. Months later, Irene meets Sherlock once more and tricks him into decoding a message for her, which turns out to be a matter of national security. Irene passes on the message to Moriarty and then blackmails Mycroft into granting her a list of demands or face Sherlock's exposure as a security leak. However, at the last moment, Sherlock figures out the password to her camera phone and crushes her bargaining power. The defeated Irene fakes her death once more with Sherlock's help to escape the wrath of the British government and enter a life of anonymity. Sherlock and John travel to Dartmoor in "The Hounds of Baskerville" to solve the mystery of a gigantic hound that apparently caused the death of client Henry Knight's father years ago. The "Hound" turns out to be a hallucinogenic drug that was being secretly developed as a chemical weapon at the nearby military base of Baskerville. The man responsible, Dr. Frank Mortimer, is killed in a land mine explosion.

The Gil Mayo Mysteries


            After a few years' hiatus, Robert Webb and David Mitchell are "back" with a new six-part comedy series.Following the death of Stephen's (David Mitchell) father Laurie, the family all get together to see how he has divided his estate which included a country pub called "The John Barleycorn". All are interested to keep the pub as a going concern with their own contributions.Much to Stephen's surprise his "brother" Andrew (Robert Webb) arrives from via a flight from the USA and also wants to contribute. He's so upset that his "Dad" has died.It turns out, however, that Andrew was in fact one of the father's many foster children, and they had taken in Andrew for five months in 1987.Despite Stephen's protests, Andrew indeed was very much an admirer of Laurie and regarded the five months he spent in the family as the best five months of his life. Stephen seems to remember it all rather differently.Themes of the rivalry between the two brothers - such a critical part of Mitchell and Webb comedies - abound throughout the series, with constant attempts by Stephen to show Andrew up for a rascal. However, much to the chagrin of Stephen, they all seem to be reasonably answered by Andrew, gaining him sympathy from the family and friends, and further alienating Stephen.The show was written by Simon Blackwell who we all know so well from
Peep Show" which concluded after nine series after (as David Mitchell explains) the actors were simply getting too old to continue playing those characters.The programmes were directed by Ben Palmer, and originally aired on UK's Channel 4.With so many loose ends and storylines open at the end of the sixth show, it wasn't a huge surprise that despite disappointing ratings figures (like "Peep Show") a second series was announced in November 2017.
