I caught this on television last week and my initial thought was how awful it was and then fascinated at what was Victorian style car crash television. Even the talents of Richard E Grant were kneecapped quite literally with a laughable side story of Mycroft Holmes lurching around in callipers with a pale and wan expression. The best of the worst was Moriarty. An American actor, who, presumably learned his English accent from James Mason films, or to put it more accurately, Eddie Izzard doing James Mason. I wonder upon occasion why producers, directors and financiers do not take one look at the script and realise it is a turkey. Production values aside, a lot was done in terms of costume and set to make this succeed, but it should have been put in a shredder way before the poor, out of work actors were forced to put this rubbish on their CV. No redeeming features whatsoever, but for exactly that reason a compelling watch just to see how bad it could really get.
