Which Sherlock episode was first broadcast in the UK on 1 August 2010?

The Sherlock episode first broadcast in the UK on 1 August 2010 was “The Blind Banker.”

It is the second episode of Sherlock’s first series, following “A Study in Pink” and preceding “The Great Game.” BBC One and BBC HD broadcast it on 1 August 2010, and Stephen Thompson wrote the episode, with Euros Lyn directing.

The story begins when a banker asks Sherlock Holmes to investigate a mysterious break-in at a City of London bank. Cryptic symbols, stolen artwork and a series of killings draw Sherlock and John Watson into a case involving the criminal network known as the Black Lotus.

A common mix-up is confusing the broadcast date with the episode’s position in the series. “The Great Game” was the next episode, but it aired on 8 August 2010, while “The Blind Banker” aired one week earlier.
