Houdini & Doyle premieres in London

The first episode of the new series Houdini & Doyle premiered yesterday (Feb. 29) at Everyman Cinemas across London. The screening was hosted by ITV, who will air the series in the UK. It was followed by a Q&A with the show creators and stars.

I haven't yet seen a review online, but here a few on-the-spot reactions from Twitter:

While we know the series will air May 2 on FOX in the U.S. and Global TV in Canada, I've yet to hear official confirmation of when the series will air on ITV in the UK. However, there are indicators that the series will air as soon as this month. [UPDATE: Houdini & Doyle starts March 13 in the UK.]

Houdini & Doyle stars Michael Weston as Houdini, Stephen Mangan as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Rebecca Liddiard as Constable Adelaide Stratton.
