The Six Thatchers
2 January 2017
Mark Gatiss's The Six Thatchers (based on Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Six Napoleons) in its heart exhilarating, cheeky, fiendish and served with a few red herrings.

Sherlock is called in to solve why a body of a young man was found inside a burnt out car outside his parents home when he was supposed to be up a mountain. What struck Sherlock was that a tribute to Mrs Thatcher had been disturbed.

Of course anyone familiar with the Conan Doyle story would had realised that the bust of Margaret Thatcher contains something important. What we get though is a device that brings events closer to home, well the Watson household and Mary also has to come to grips with a ghost from her past.

Closer to spirit to the first two series of Sherlock, it seems the creators have decided that a cull in the cast is needed to reinforce the Sherlock and Watson dynamics.
