It takes a fine actor to step into the shoes of Sherlock Holmes, history’s greatest fictional detective. Ian McKellen is the latest to take on the role in the new film, Mr. Holmes, which introduces a Sherlock even his most fanatical followers haven’t encountered before. It’s 1947, and the beloved sleuth has retired to the country for a simple life tending to his bees. He remains frustrated with the reputation he’s earnt through his misrepresentation in Dr. Watson’s best-selling novels, but gets one final chance to set the record straight.

Mr. Holmes will open in cinemas on Thursday July 23, and we’ve got ten in-season double passes to give away.
