The boys are back in town! And by boys, I mean “men” and by town, I mean “Majorca”.
Eternal Law remains a well-acted, enjoyable show, even if the idea of angels coming to earth and working as lawyers hasn’t yet been explored as intricately as it could be.
Sherlock Holmes is more than a man, he’s a symbol, and you can’t kill a symbol… can you?
We were more worried about this story being updated than any other, but our fears were entirely groundless.
ITV1’s Eternal Law is a new legal drama with a twist – its two lawyer protagonists are no mere law-school graduates but angels sent to earth to help humanity.
Don’t Believe The Hype, Public Enemy warned us in 1988, and this new, three-part drama from Tony Marchant arrives with high expectations that it struggles to live up to.
The tired old dog of adaptations, The Hound of the Baskervilles has always been a bafflingly popular choice when it comes to pasting Sherlock onto the screen.
With the wild success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise still rolling onwards to the horizon, it’s a surprise that it’s taken this long for a big-budget revisiting of this tale.
Although physically Shaun Evans doesn’t immediately bring to mind the late John Thaw, there’s something in his demeanour that expertly captures the essence of the character Thaw made his own.
Writers and producers must be cursing Steven Moffat right now. It’s only day one of 2012, and already Sherlock looks like being the highlight of the TV year.
