Yahoo News Sherlock Gets Musical Makeover In New Parody
The game is definitely on in this brilliant new parody by YouTubers The Hillywood Show. Sherlock has inspired loads of copycats and fan videos, but nothing beats this one with a musical twist by sisters Hannah and Hilly Hindi.
The comedy duo re-imagine Benedict Cumberbatch’s sleuth and Martin Freeman’s sidekick as a rapping double act, re-enacting scenes and replicating sets from the show.
The pair, who produce, direct, edit and star in it themselves, travelled to London to film outside the famous 221B door on North Gower Street. They recreated scenes from episodes such as A Study In Pink, A Scandal In Belgravia and The Sign Of Three. Fan site Sherlockology wrote about their time on set with Hannah and Hilly.
Their crowd-funded parody, which stars Hilly as Sherlock Holmes and Hannah as John Watson even got the attention of producer Sue Vertue.
This follows their amazing take on Supernatural (sung to the tune of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off), which even got the attention of the show’s stars, who make short, but sweet cameos at the end.
