The guys from Republic of Telly have turned their mischievous eyes on the BBC's wildly popular crime drama Sherlock - with brilliant results.

The dapper detective is given a comedy treatment by Kevin McGahern, Jennifer Maguire and Bernard O'Shea in the latest in an excellent series of skits on the RTE show.

The sketch mocks Benedict Cumberbatch's character of Sherlock and his ability to deduce clues from the appearance of and conversation with suspects in his cases.

Here, 'Surelook' comes up against his arch nemesis - 'Moriarsey' - and there's an odd appearance by a puppet version of President Michael D Higgins. Anything goes, really.

The latest episode of Republic of Telly saw it pass the 100 mark in a new milestone for the show.

Let's hope it long continues.
