Have you seen the latest incarnation, modernized, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, on PBS? We thought it was really good, and can't wait for the next series to make it across the pond ( it's a BBC production).
Also, if you haven't already read them, allow me to recommend Laurie R. King's Mary Russell series to you and your missus, starting with The Beekeeper's Apprentice. Holmes meets his match in Russell, and the books are great--true to the original style, tone, and personality, but they have their own charm, too. I love them--just reread the whole set (there are like 10 of them now). |
