(Not) elementary my dear Watson
DRAWERS OFF Channel 4, 5.30pm
This is the show that puts artists front and centre in a life drawing class like no other.
Comedian Jenny Eclair is the enthusiastic host, always ready with a saucy innuendo as amateur artists strip off for each other in the life drawing class to win cash.
This is the final episode, following a week that has seen contestants Stew, Husna, Glenn, Amanda and Dave all vying for their art to be hung on the gallery wall. So far, Husna and Glenn have each notched up two wins, and it’s all to play for to secure the final spot.
This time, 42-year-old folk singer Stew will be striking a pose, but he’s not concerned.
“I’m more comfortable with taking my clothes off than keeping them on to be honest,” he says, preparing for his Titanic-inspired pose.
As the others limber up to paint him like one of their French girls, who will have a brush with disaster and who will take the crown?
TROUBLED street teens being chased by monsters. Sherlock Holmes as a dodgy neighbour. Supernatural forces. What fresh hell is this?
With elements pulled from Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous novels, this dark and actionpacked series focuses on the Baker Street Irregulars.
They are an eclectic gang of kids who are manipulated into solving crimes for the sinister Doctor Watson and his mysterious business partner, the elusive Sherlock Holmes.
Oh and it’s Netflix, so why not throw in a few ghostly monsters.
Set in Victorian London, the crimes the teens try to solve take on a supernatural edge and a dark power emerges.
A teaser for the show says: “It will be up to the Irregulars to come together to save not only London but the entire world.”
Show creator Tom Bidwell says: “The supernatural element brings a kind of Victorian horror to the show. Mysteries can be solved, but they can’t be very easily explained with rational thought.
“There’s monsters and ghouls and horrors attacking the city of London.”
Henry Lloyd-Hughes plays Sherlock, while Royce Pierreson plays Dr Watson. The teens are played by Thaddea Graham, Darci Shaw, Jojo Macari, McKell David and Harrison Osterfield.
Expect shadowy figures, strange happenings, a lot of sinister activity at 221b Baker Street, running from things, scary crows, an excess of bad weather and kids who can see dead people.
Not for the faint hearted!
