Sherlock Holmes And The Deadly Season (working title)
The year is 1902, it’s November and a thick fog has descended on the streets of London. The illustrious detective Sherlock Holmes, played by Rupert Everett, is drawn out of retirement by his estranged partner in crime, Dr John Watson (Ian Hart), when a case that threatens to overwhelm the privilege and tranquillity of aristocratic society comes to their attention.
When the body of a young girl is dragged from the Thames it is initially presumed she’s a street prostitute. However, the discovery of a stocking wedged in her throat suggests otherwise. Sherlock’s brilliant analytical mind and precise observation are quick to detect the error and he concludes the body is, in fact, that of a Lady. As society prepares for the debutantes’ seasonal performance, Georgina, a young, vulnerable and heavily chaperoned young lady disappears. Scotland Yard’s Inspector Lestrade tries desperately to hunt down the kidnapper, but he is too late. Georgina’s body is discovered, dressed in the clothes of the first victim, with a stocking lodged in her throat. With the knowledge that a serial killer is now in operation, Holmes is galvanised into feverish action and Watson, despite his impending marriage to the beautiful Mrs Vandeleur (Helen McCrory), is drawn back to his friend’s side. Desperate to catch the killer before he strikes again, Holmes resorts to increasingly unorthodox methods...
Rupert Everett plays Sherlock Holmes, Ian Hart plays Dr Watson, Helen McCrory plays Mrs Vandeleur and Neil Dudgeon plays Inspector Lestrade. Sherlock Holmes And The Deadly Season is an original mystery written by Allan Cubitt, who adapted Conan Doyle’s The Hound Of The Baskervilles for BBC One two years ago.
And of course there was also this picture:
To which I can only say, Um, guys? Please stop looking like you are in a eurotrash whisky advert. And to Watson's mustache: Just stop that.
All of this ganked from the fine people over at the Sherlock Holmes bbs on Scarlet Street. So full of goodness.
