'Sherlock' Victorian-Set Special Remains Shrouded In Mystery After Q&A
In a recent Q&A, Sherlock EP Steven Moffat and PBS's Masterpiece chief Rebecca Eaton worked like gangbusters making sure to convey no actual information about the Sherlock one-off special, which will be set in the Victorian era.
Though it's been widely reported the program will be a Christmas special in the UK, and a trailer of what has been described as such was screened at Comic-Con (watch it on YouTube), Eaton and Moffat steadfastly declined to confirm.
Journalists in the hall were left deducing, like the famous sleuth, that it must be airing in the U.S. some time before January. Moffat did offer that the Victorian era better lends itself to ghost stories – then clammed up again.
Speaking thereof, Cumberbatch is starring in Hamlet for a 12-week run at the Barbican theater, a run that reportedly sold out in minutes last August, and did not attend today's Q&A, but sent a video answering what he anticipated would be the questions he would have been asked.
