The pieces are beginning to fall into place. Sherlock Series
Three has another confirmed director, and it is Colm McCarthy, who
confirmed his participation in the new series earlier this morning
via his Twitter account. McCarthy joins Jeremy
Lovering as a director on Sherlock Series Three.
McCarthy comes to the series with an excellent background in
British Television Drama, having previously directed episodes of
Hustle, Murphy's Law, The Tudors, and Spooks, as well as the two
hour television film Endeavour - the prequel to Inspector Morse.
That piece of work proved such a success for producers Mammoth
Screen that a series of four further films were greenlit to
production, with Colm helming an additional episode.
Colm has already had his work on television screens in 2013 with
the broadcast of two episodes of the popular BBC drama Ripper
Street, and has directed the Steven Moffat scripted opening episode
of the second section of Doctor Who series seven - The Bells of St
John - due to broadcast on March 30 2013 in the UK and USA.
