Sherlock (or, to distinguish from other adaptions, BBC Sherlock, Beeblock, BBClock, BBC!verse) is the BBC's modern adaptation of everyone (except for his creator)'s favourite fictional consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. It is written by Steven Moffat (of Doctor Who fame), Mark Gatiss (also involved with Who), and Steve Thompson, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the eponymous detective and Martin Freeman as his trusty Boswell blogger Watson.
