    Best Sherlock Lines

    2010 PBS Mystery series, which is being re-run
    locally (third time I've seen it)]

    Nope

    Maybe you could post a youtube video link of that show in here.

    Re: Best Sherlock Lines

    Is the show based on the actual stories by Doyle, or is it a bunch of new stories?

    New stories, very hi-tech.

    However, many nice touches carried over from Doyle, including
    the title of the first episode: A Study in Pink.

    I can't remember Doyle's first episode title, but I believe the new
    show's title it is an hommage to Doyle's.

    Re: Best Sherlock Lines

    You mean an hommage to "A Study in Scarlet"?

    So what's the name of the series? Sounds like it might be interesting if it's on Netflix.

    Yes, nice job.. I remembered that the first 3 words were
    the same, and that the color was of the RGB(255, 0, 0) ilk.

    And funny enough, the name of the series is Sherlock

    It is an exceptional series... only 3 episodes so far, but I
    believe the BBC is making a few more.

    Re: Best Sherlock Lines

    A Study in Pink was loosely based on A Study in Scarlet, although there were obviously major changes due to it being updated to modern times. The other two were less clearly based on any one story, although they borrowed bits here and there.

    I think Spoo's "3-patch case" line refers to Holmes being on nicotine patches.
    Indecisiveness is the key to flexibility.

    Touchee ..

    I'm trying to remember what prompted Sherlock to roll
    up his sleeve in the first place.

    Didn't Watson do it first, showing one patch, only to be
    trumped by Sherlock's 3?

    From episode 2, A Blind Banker ...

    Sherlock: I left my keys in my flat.
    The Girl : Do you want me to buzz you in?
    Sherlock: Great. And I need to borrow your balcony.
    The Girl : Wha?

    Watson: What do you know about eyes?
    Sherlock: They usually have it
    Watson: Wha?
    Sherlock: Exactly
