The next two are broadcast on 1st and 8th August. The first got sufficiently good ratings/reviews that more will be made eventually. The current eps will be on PBS in the USA sometime. The DVD and Blu-Ray are out in the UK later in August. I had thought it was going to be a typical series, but now that you mention it, it makes more sense that it will be a set of mini-series. I guess they will show in the US on Mystery. Have you heard whether Moffat plans to do any original scripts, or will they all be based on Doyle's books? > I liked it. There is a bit of a renascence of imaginative TV in the UK lately with _Torchwood_, the _Dr Who_ reboot, _Primeval_ (which was renewed after being cancelled) and of course _Being Human_ and _Misfits_. The only one in that list I'm not familiar with is Misfits. I did not like the most recent Torchwood season, and Being Human is just to angsty for my taste (apparently it was first conceived as "real" flatmates with psychological problems). I haven't gotten around to sampling Primeval yet.
