I was not happy with Merlin being a kid, I'm not happy with Holmes being set in the twenty-first century. I don't mind gay Holmes, addict Holmes, stupid Holmes, vampire Holmes, Jack the Ripper Holmes, but change the period and I think you ought to get your own detective and sidekick. Even if "I perceive you have been in Afghanistan" can still be used (and I wonder if the wound will be in the leg, shoulder or both).

Martin Freeman looks like he's Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberband looks barely out of nappies...
