苦等近两年后，“神夏”迷终于迎来福利。12月3日，BBC一台证实，25日圣诞节当天，本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇（Benedict Cumberbatch）与马丁·弗里曼（Martin Freeman）主演的热播英剧《神探夏洛克》（Sherlock）将推出节日迷你特集《幸福回归》（Many Happy Returns），届时剧粉可以通过BBC的互动电视服务Red Button和网络收看，而美国播出方PBS电视台还没有任何该集在本国的上映消息。
《幸福回归》的剧情介绍说，“夏洛克离开已经两年了，但仍有人不确定他真的去世了。”谁是那个心存怀疑的人？也许是华生，他仍然不愿接受好友的悲剧结局，还在苦苦追寻夏洛克生还的线索。也许是麦克洛夫特，有着深厚政府背景的他，接受了弟弟的暗示。也许是“那个女人”艾琳·艾德勒，她不相信夏洛克这么容易被打败。不论这个人是谁，他猜的没错：夏洛克的确还活着。
照此看来，《幸福回归》将作为第三季《神探夏洛克》开播前的序曲，至于康伯巴奇和弗里曼是否会在剧中亮相，尚不得而知，希望他们至少会客串一下。《神探夏洛克》第三季将于1月1日在英国首播，在美国的开播日期为1月19日。

《神探夏洛克》是一部由BBC出品的英国迷你电视剧，该剧将原著的故事背景从19世纪大英帝国国势鼎盛的时期搬到了21世纪繁华热闹的大都市中。
试播集为原型短剧，从未在电视上播出过，2010年8月28日作为DVD花絮放出。
这一次夏洛克·福尔摩斯(本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 Benedict Cumberbatch 饰)不仅是著名大侦探更是一名时尚潮人。这一集的故事从他与日后的好友兼得力助手约翰·华生（马丁·弗瑞曼 Martin Freeman 饰）如何相识说起。起初两人合租贝克街221B公寓时候，华生并不能忍受这个奇怪的室友。但在共同经历了离奇市民自杀案件后两人的关系明显改善。而华生原本左肩在战斗时中弹，留下了心理障碍导致的跛足，也在跟随夏洛克追踪凶手，穿越伦敦市区的过程中克服了心理上的伤残障碍而痊愈。
之后还有多少精彩绝伦的故事，只有让BBC的正式剧集来告诉大家了。

为纪念Motown唱片公司成立五十周年，演员和Motown粉丝Martin Freeman前往底特律和洛杉矶，了解那些成就了Motown的辉煌的人们。
In this Culture Show special marking the 50th anniversary of Motown Records, actor and Motown fan Martin Freeman takes the trip of a lifetime. Visiting both Detroit and LA, he encounters the men and women, from the world famous to the unsung, who played a part in the massive success story that was Motown.
In Detroit he meets, amongst others: Duke Fakir, the last surviving member of the Four Tops; Sylvia Moy, who wrote the lyrics for Stevie Wonder's Uptight; Motown producer Clay McMurray, who used to work in Quality Control for the label and pushed for the release of Stevie Wonder's My Cherie Amour; former DJ Scottie Regan, who played early Motown on white radio stations. Martha Reeves, lead singer of Martha and the Vandellas, now a Detroit councillor. Plus three of the original Funk Brothers, the backing musicians who were so key to the development of the Motown sound in the Sixties: guitarist Eddie Willis, bass player Bob Babbitt and drummer Uriel Jones.
From Detroit, Martin travels to Los Angeles, following the same path that Motown itself took when the record label moved West in 1972. Here he meets more of the Motown stars: three of The Jackson 5 - Marlon, Tito and Jackie Jackson; Mary Wilson of The Supremes and Otis Williams of The Temptations. Songwriters Lamont Dozier and Brian and Eddie Holland talk to Martin about their string of hits for the label, including Where Did Our Love Go and Reach Out.

The story of an office that faces closure when the company decides to downsize its branches. A documentary film crew follow staff and the manager David Brent as they continue their daily lives.

Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
