Another in a long line of "revisionist" Sherlock Holmes dramas, the made-for-cable Case of Evil offers a 28-year-old Holmes (James D'Arcy) who, in contrast with his later and more familiar persona, brashly brags about his deductive skills, egotistically basks in his fame and popularity, and drinks like a fish. But young Sherlock is in for a sobering and humiliating return to earth when he first crosses the path of Professor Moriarty (Vincent D'Onofrio), the "Napoleon of Crime." The brilliant but inexperienced Holmes not only fails to connect Moriarty with the murders of London's most notorious opium dealers, but even ends up falling into the clutches of the master criminal, who introduces the hapless detective to a relatively new and exotic drug known as heroin. Helping Sherlock put himself back together after his horrendous experience are his friend Dr. Watson (Roger Morlidge), his brother Mycroft (Richard E. Grant), and a comely young lady (Gabrielle Anwar) -- whose last name happens to be Doyle. The story is climaxed by a thrilling sword duel inside Big Ben (and never mind that the famous clock tower hadn't yet been built). Filmed in Romania, Case of Evil made its USA Network debut on October 25, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The weekly TV dramedy series Teachers has been described as the British equivalent to America's Ally McBeal, even though the central character was male rather than female. Adrian Bower starred as Simon, a 27-year-old teacher in a typical British comprehensive (or high) school. Studiously avoiding conflicts or heavy lifting, Simon was always able to unload his personal and professional problems on his understanding fellow teachers Kurt (Navin Chowdhry) and Susan (Raquel Cassidy). Conversely, Simon's policewoman girlfriend Jenny (Nina Sosanya) was anything but understanding, demanding that he make a commitment concerning their relationship. As a result, Simon frequently retreated into a fantasy world, in which Jenny was invariably cast as a "super-villain." More popular with the average viewer than it was with real-life school instructors, Teachers debuted March 21, 2001 on Britain's Channel 4. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this comedy, the title delivery boy finds his life tossed up and spun 'round when he inadvertently finds himself enmeshed in an international conspiracy. In Hollywood, where he works, Elmo Bunn's speedy delivery and ability to make sure he is always paid has elevated him to nearly legendary status. His troubles begin when he is called to deliver a sausage and anchovy pizza in East Hollywood at the very address where his best friend and fellow delivery man was last seen years ago. Though he knows he is in for trouble, he cannot deny an order and so heads out to meet his fate. Along the way, he meets some of the most powerful men and women in the U.S. (all played by professional look-a-likes). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
