A new look in Sherlock Holmes' life as the once great detective begins to age
The great character of Sherlock Holmes has flexed his mind with many an actor - the beguiling Benedict Cumberbatch on the small screen and the rough and ready Robert Downey Jr at the cinema to name but a few. But there has never been an insight into Sherlock after the mind has gone until now with Sir Ian McKellen tackling the great detective at the ripe old age of 93 in this new film, Mr Holmes.
Sir Ian McKellen plays Sherlock Holmes as most have never seen him before
In 1947, old man Holmes has removed himself from London to live as a recluse in a farmhouse in Sussex tending to his bees.
As he tries to busy himself amongst less difficult tasks, he is plagued by one final case that he was unable to solve.
