SHERLOCK (BBC 2010)
Title: Crime Against Fashion

John has a feeling this is how the rest of his life will play out. Splashing through puddles in dank London alleyways, examining gruesome corpses and deciphering the latest brilliant leaps from his flatmate's whizzing mind. He doesn't mind it one bit.

I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
