Sherlock

I&apos;ve been a Sherlock Holmes&apos; fan for what feels like forever, and, like others, was concerned that this modern version would be a disaster. 

I needn&apos;t have worried. It was a terrific, fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat adventure. Benedict Cumberbatch (what a name!) brings a dark edginess to Holmes that gives the whole piece a delightful &apos;gothic&apos; feel, while Martin Freeman - if the first episode is anything to go by - will make a perfect foil as Watson. Casting is so important and this combination feels just right.

I&apos;ll always have a soft spot for Basil Rathbone&apos;s Holmes, and, on the small screen at least, I can&apos;t see anyone displacing Jeremy Brett as the definitive &apos;Victorian&apos; sleuth. But maybe, just maybe, the writers have created a Sherlock for the modern age who will stand the test of time and join a handful of other portrayals in the Pantheon of the greats.

Moffat&apos;s pedigree as a comedy writer has added a new layer to the Holmes&apos; scenario, and though there were several in-jokes in the first episode that only Holmes&apos; aficionados would appreciate, there was enough general humour to lighten what might otherwise have been a dark canvas.

Of course, I shouldn&apos;t have had any doubts. Steven Moffat is, after all, the man who rescued Dr Who from the self-indulgent, soap-opera obsessed, poorly scripted, moribund years of Russell T Davies and turned it back into a fun-packed joy to watch. He&apos;s done the same with &apos;Sherlock&apos;. 

The man is a genius. I can&apos;t wait for the next instalment.

Watch a preview of &quot;Sherlock&quot; Season 4.
