Font used in Sherlock

Attention, font-nerds and Sherlock fans.

I've been watching Sherlock the last few days. I've been enjoying it immensely, and not just because Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the most cartoonishly British names of all time.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what font the show is using to indicate Sherlock's observations. A few examples of what I'm talking about are here at about 40 seconds in. This may be an obvious question to people who know their typography. Could be in very common usage, but I have no eye for fonts.

Thanks!

...But, on watching that trailer, the text shown is all Johnston. Another sans was used in some other passages not shown in the trailer.
