BBC's Sherlock - Series 3
I was trying to find out when Arashi's "Love" Concert Tour DVD is going to be released and amongst the search results was the Japan Today website with an article about BBC's Sherlock and how much the Chinese love it, it's cute what they call John and Sherlock:
'Holmes is known in China as “Curly Fu,” after his Chinese name, Fuermosi, and star Benedict Cumberbatch’s floppy hair. Watson, played by Martin Freeman, is Huasheng, a name that sounds like “Peanut” in Mandarin. They have become two of the most popular terms in China’s vast social media world.'
Curly Fu and Peanut!

I've really enjoyed the newest episodes of Sherlock and the DVD is in the post to me now, I'm looking forward to the extras and I hope they include the birthday mini episode.
Some people have been disappointed with the third series, I don't understand why, but each to their own.
I liked that they focused a lot on the relationships, they had to get the core partnership back on track, you can't have Sherlock just swanning back into John's life with no repercussions. I loved the restaurant scene/s and the music, and before that, for some reason, I really liked seeing Sherlock getting a shave! :)
I wasn't sure about adding Mary to the mix, but it worked well and the whole cast have great chemistry. Lestrade's reaction to Sherlocks return was great. At the moment, the 2nd episode, 'The Sign Of Three' (the wedding) is my overall favourite, but there's tons of good stuff in all three episodes and Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman did such a good job... again.
Oh, the limited edition box set at the BBC shop website is so pretty, but £62.99! Crikey. They do have a mug and t-shirts, which are more affordable, but I really need to win the lottery!
