Holmes is where the heart is...

So! Long time no post, but I'm back - at last! :)

Okay, the biggest news going on in my strange isolated script-writing world is that mine and my friends' Doctor Who series has officially been put on hold. Hopefully filiming will resume/begin during the summertime. The other bit of very big news, though, is that a new series is going into production very soon. Not Doctor Who this time, but, as the title to this post suggests, Sherlock Holmes!
To be precise, a modernisation of Sherlock Holmes, currently entitled "Consulting Detective", which sees Holmes and Watson as students at Baker Street university, currently sharing a room in one of the university's provided flats for students (flat 221b, of course)! The series also stars a range of other detectives, some brand new, some from the original stories, including a certain Miss Adler...
Obviously, I can't give too much away about the series but, if all goes well script-wise, filming should commence this weekend, on episode one - A Study In Black! Unusually for one of the films my crazy lot produce, the script for this one isn't being written by me, but instead, by my friend Adam Lawson, who has starred in and helped write episodes for our past YouTube series. The role of script-editor is the one that has befallen me for episode one, which basically means I have lots of long email exchanges with Adam, talking about which parts get changed, what would work better from the audience's point of view, etc. And I must say it is enormous fun discussing all theses wonderful scripty things with someone!
Little has been decided about episodes three and four yet (except which books they might be based on - but we don't want to spoil that for you!), but three is another of Adam's and, hopefully, we will work together as much as possible on four. Episode two, however, is being written by yours truly! Without giving too much away, think "Sherlock Holmes vs. the EDL"...
Anyway, now I'm going to have to start editing and writing these scripts, like I should be right now, instead of posting on this blog. See you all soon!
