More Bondlock! This is my favourite crossover. Enjoy!

(The dates are my interpretation of Sherlock's timeline. It doesn't match John's blog, but then John's blog says that Harry is 36, and we know that Harry is older than John, but John is at least 36, surely? Anyway…)

August 2011

Mycroft had been calling him every day for the last month before John actually picked up the phone.

It turned out that Mycroft wanted his help. John had half a mind not to help him, until he realised what Mycroft wanted him to do.

Moriarty might be dead, but his network still existed. Mycroft wanted his help to bring it down.

And bring it down they did.

'Bond,' said M. 'Sit down.'

Bond did as he was told. 'A new mission, Sir?'

'MI5 want to borrow you.'

Oh dear. 'What for, sir?'

M replied with a single word: 'Moriarty.'

Ah. The Moriarty network was the bane of MI5 and MI6's existence at the moment. Perhaps sensing that its days were numbered, the remainder of the network had been causing havoc both in Britain and overseas.

'They require my skill set?'

'So it seems. It's a long assignment, 007. Over a month, and you'll be completely under their command.'

'When do I start?'

REVIEW: The Only One in the World: The Rise and Fall of Sherlock Holmes (Part 1 of 2), BBC One, 8:30pm

'The world,' begins the narrator, 'is full of people. Each one of them is unique, but every now and then someone stands out as far more unique than the rest.' Despite sounding like something out of a George Orwell novel, this is a very good introduction to a fascinating story.

Most viewers will have heard of Sherlock Holmes, his escapades as a detective fighting crime in London, and of the scandal surrounding the last months before his unexpected death. If anyone tuning into this documentary is hoping for a show condemning Holmes, however, they will be sorely disappointed.

This excellent documentary examines the man who styled himself as a "Consulting Detective," detailing his methods, cases and, ultimately, his death at the hands of the criminal, James Moriarty.

The show gently probes Holmes's personal life, aided by the many appearances of John Watson, Holmes's friend and assistant. He tells most of the stories, bringing his friend vividly to life.

This documentary also makes good use of the small amount of footage and photographs we have of Holmes, coloured and fleshed out in parts by skilfully executed re-enactments.

Viewers will also appreciate the explanation of the evidence presented at Sherlock Holmes's posthumous trial. It's one thing to read about a trial in the papers, another to understand it, and the writers have done their best to make sure you understand.

Sit back, relax, and let yourself slip into the true crime story of the decade.

I would like to congratulate the BBC and all those involved in the making of the excellent documentary on Sherlock Holmes. It did a wonderful job of bringing his story to life. I believe in Sherlock Holmes, and I'm sure the rest of Britain does too.
