AIBU to be disappointed that the Sherlock Christmas special will be set in Victorian times?

[Lardylassnomore]

Surely the fact that they modernised it was part of its appeal. Is anyone else disapointed?

YANBU I wonder how they are going to pull this off. Sounds just like a doctor who Christmas special, bleurgh

It.is.March.

Is there another series imminent?

I love it

I don't know if you are BU. I'm going to have to reserve judgement until I know why they are in Victorian London. I mean, how did they get there?

Hmmm, just read about this. It could work as a one off. Keep all the characters just change the setting.

Hopefully it won't be a "someone fell and hit their head and now every things in victorian times" macguffin

I agree. I feel the same way about Dr Who often returning to that era - it seems like it just for the sake of smog sometimes!!

Hmmmm. I wonder will DI Gene Hunt make an appearance?

If Mark Gatiss is anywhere near the script, I'm not a bit surprised ??
The man is fanatically devoted to the Victorian era, and Steven Moffat loves to play around with time.

They said Series 4 is coming out next year, by the way.

A 1970s version might be good.

Next year !!!!

Next year!!!

Where the feck is this years?!?

It's been aaaaaages

They've had a bit of a Dragon problem in Middle Earth, Laurie

My expectations are low. Hope just a blip and the new series will come along v soon. Love sherlock.

I was disappointed as well, it works as it is because of the modern twist. Plenty of 'original' Sherlock about to watch (I watched the RDJ version for the first time last week, not bad but no Cumberbatch!).

Agree, Victorian Doctor Who episodes were always a bit bleh for me as well.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw about Doctor Who:

"Ok, we can go anywhere in time and space, where do you wanna..."
"Victorian London!".
"Er. I did say anywhere. ANYWHERE at all. Anywhere in time, OR space, OR both".
"VICTORIAN LONDON!".
"Fine...".

Oh, I don't know - I did love the Dickens one and they're always well researched (bound to be with MG's obsession, I suppose ).

Ahem! Back to Sherlock!

I'm looking forward to seeing how Moriarty has managed to patch his brain back together. I think they're filming it all at the moment, but it's not scheduled until 2016.
