Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock Holmes

The new TV Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch, argues that Holmes's deductive powers are achievable.

"There isn't a sonic screwdriver or a Tardis in sight, this isn't someone who has magic powers," he says."If you really set out now you probably could do it - it would probably cost you a lot of friendships and your exams results won't be that good, but you'll be able to solve crimes!"
