“Sherlock” Is World’s Most Popular Drama
The Independent provides the evidence: ‘Aired in 240 territories across the globe, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s modern-day re-working of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s timeless detective stories has scooped 12 BAFTAs, 7 Emmys and a prestigious Peabody Award. It has netted no fewer than 76 gongs around the world. As if that wasn’t already enough proof of what an international hit the show has become, the global Sherlock Facebook page now has more than five million fans.
