suffering all manner of misfortunes,
from the set going up in flames to

In this spoof portrayal of a
disastrous theatre production, the
talentless cast are beset by prop

Narrator David Suchet

S
herlock Holmes is busy solving minor
cases when his partner John Watson
celebrates the birth of his first child, as
the new three-part series of Sherlock kicks off.
Watson’s wife Mary gives birth to Rosie, and
the couple (Martin Freeman and Amanda
Abbington) ask Sherlock to be godfather.
He accepts, but babysitting isn’t his forte…
‘When the baby arrives Sherlock is mildly
indifferent,’ explains Benedict Cumberbatch,
who plays him. ‘He’s not quite as in love with
babies as I am. At the same time he’s got a
deep affection for the new arrival, because she
belongs to two people he cares a lot about. But
as always with Sherlock, he’s got a lot going on
– so he can’t stick around for nappies!’
Any attempts by Sherlock to be the doting
godfather are soon put on hold when he’s

End, and was filmed for this special. ‘It’s

whose son has been killed in a bizarre fashion.
Challenging
Sherlock’s mind-bending theories soon point
to the truth, but he notices something odd
about a shrine to Margaret Thatcher, which
leads to showdowns in Morocco and London.
‘This series has been more challenging, more
fun, and the audience will see things they won’t
necessarily expect,’ explains Benedict. ‘We’ve
seen him unravel in the past, but that’s a drop
in the ocean compared with what is to come.
I’d say this is the darkest series yet!’ Q
Ahoy! Peter Pan’s
terrible cast
‘David was wonderful to
work with and took all his humiliations in
good grace,’ says co-creator Jonathan Sayer.
It hasn’t all been plain sailing, though –
the physical nature of the comedy has seen
the actors suffer actual broken feet and
dislocated shoulders. ‘I’m definitely the king
of concussion, I’ve had so many,’ laughs
Jonathan. ‘But it’s all been worth it. Our
journey has been so crazy!’ Q

Humphrey Goodman has a hunch that Stephen wasn’t
alone the night he died. So alongside his team,
Humphrey investigates the geologist’s colleagues
and soon discovers all is not what it seems…
The scientists working with Stephen were his brother
Daniel, who’s in debt and a drug addict; Victoria, who
was sleeping with Stephen and took credit for one of
his papers; and Megan who’s been lying about her
identity. Could any of them have a reason to kill?
Meanwhile, Humphrey has other things on his mind

island to visit him. Could romance finally be on the
cards for the bumbling detective?
Hidden Passion

a dark horse,’ says Kris Marshall, who plays the cop. ‘He
turns out to be an amazing boyfriend and quite a catch!

it’s true but refuses to reveal who the
mystery woman is. Jenny soon thinks
she’s worked it out though when she
hears Aidan has invited Alya to the flat
to talk ‘business’. Convinced it’s a cover
for a tryst, she heads off to tell Eva…
‘Jenny tells Eva that if she goes
to the flat she will find them there,’
says Sally Ann Matthews, who

to be crossed, so it’s her way of
getting back at Aidan.’
Eva storms round to the flat

having a perfectly innocent work meeting.
Aidan’s fuming when he realises what
Jenny’s done, while Johnny decides he’s
had enough of his meddling girlfriend

she’s sacked from her factory job, too! Is
this really the end for Johnny and Jenny?

bears are kept before being

Hard to hunt
Shown over three nights, this
documentary follows wildlife
in the park from winter to
summer, with presenter Kate
Humble and biologist Patrick
Aryee tracking their survival.
‘Great Greys can detect a
prey’s heartbeat from more
than 100m away,’ explains
Patrick. ‘But icy snow stops
them plunging deep enough,
which could spell disaster.’
The owls may struggle to
feed, but they’re not alone.
Usually their wide paws
mean they’re well equipped
to catch elk and bison prey
during deep snowfall, but
mild winters have given
their prey an advantage.
‘Instead of working as a
pack, the wolves are hunting
alone, digging into burrows
to catch small mammals,’
says Kate. ‘Poor feeding
could lead to weaker cubs.’
‘Every year the animals are
pushed to their limits,’ says
Kate. ‘A changing climate has
also brought freak storms,
flash floods and raging fires,
making life more extreme.
Living here is tough.’ ■
