HISTORY
- Fictional detective created by the author Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle in the Victorian period.

- Sherlock made the character popular even for
people who didn’t read the books.

A Study in Pink
- The first episode of BBC series starts with the
scene of war in Afghanistan where Dr. John Watson worked as a military doctor.
- Then, the story behind how Sherlock and John
meet and become a roommate is shown.
- Also, we see Sherlock’s detective skills when
he deduces that Watson has been in Afghanistan and he is a military doctor.

A Study in Pink
- In the episode, there are very mysterious
death-series; no one knows if they are murders or simply similar suicides.
- Scotland Yard consults Sherlock to find out
what’s going on.
- John involves the investigation as a title of
doctor firstly, then he is becoming nearly a colleague as Sherlock .

SLIDE 13
- Sherlock and John understand from the deductions that
these deaths are committed by the murderer , and they try who the killer is and how s/he can persuade people to commit suicide.
SLIDE 14
- Then, it turns out that murders are about the
- pills. (No more spoilers!)

CRITICISM
- A Study in Pink is a partially adaptation of A
Study in Scarlet which is the first novel of Sherlock Holmes books written by Doyle.
- We say loosely adapted because it has some
individual elements from the story:
– Rache written with blood in crime scene – Killer’s illness
SLIDE 16
SLIDE 17
BUT:
- Rache means different things for the book and
the episode (a German word meaning “revenge” in the book but a woman’s name in the episode).
- The motivation of the killer is completely
different (murder for revenge in the book but murder for money in the episode).
- Also, the backstory set is different, too ( in
America in the book but in U.K. (London) in the episode)

EVALUATION
- A partially adaptation from a classic may be seen
as eccentric in the first place BUT:
– It makes the story different and very unusual so that people become impressed
- Also, one-to-one adaptation of the classic of 19th
century in the 21st century would seem very tough and, maybe, ridiculous BECAUSE:
– As can be seen in this Tv series, it is possible to reflect the soul of the Victorian character with well- designed or adapted set and characters even without the whole adaptation.
