And it wasn't an entirely successful one, the setting marvellous, the performances solid, and the jokes good, but the story itself convoluted and at times a little too silly.

So this one-off special - which screened in UK cinemas as well as on TV - took something of a chance by messing with that formula, the story unfolding in Victorian London. And Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were perfectly cast as Holmes and Watson, making their dynamic duo one of the small screen's most winning double acts. Taking Arthur Conan Doyle's detective tales and giving them ingenious modern-day spins creators/writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Mofatt crafted shows that were less television episodes and more self-contained movies.

The show has been one of the BBC's great success stories of the last few years. 'Gothic enough? Mad enough?' Well yes to all of those, but unfortunately it wasn't quite good enough either, especially when compared to the previous nine episodes of Sherlock, most of which worked better than this ingenious but ultimately flawed experiment. 'Is this silly enough for you?' asks one character during The Abominable Bride. WARNING: AS SHERLOCK HAS ALREADY SCREENED IN THE UK, ABOMINABLE BRIDE SPOILERS FOLLOW.
