Nine episodes have been produced, the first three of which aired in 2010. Series two aired in 2012, and a third series aired in 2014. The third series has become the UK's most watched drama series since 2001.[1] Sherlock has been sold to over 200 territories.[2] The writers said that Freeman's casting developed the way in which Cumberbatch played Holmes.[11] The theme of "friendship" appealed to both Gatiss and Moffat.[24] Gatiss asserted the importance of achieving the correct tone for the character.
"Watson is not an idiot, although it's true that Conan Doyle always took the piss out of him," said Gatiss. Rupert Graves was cast as DI Greg Lestrade. Weeds (TV Series 2005– Lost (TV Series 2004–2010. Twin Peaks (TV Series 1990–1991.
