Watson still writes stories of Sherlock’s adventures, only in a magazine instead of a blog. Mrs Hudson, Lestrade, Mary and even Anderson are the same but you can figure out what’s new about Molly and Mycroft yourself (revealing more would be spoiling it).

Watson still writes stories of their adventures not on a blog but a magazine.

Sherlock now smokes a pipe but still beats dead bodies in mortuaries with riding crops. While a lot is different, a lot remains the same. We then switch to an ‘alternative time’ in 1895 where we see John and Sherlock meet for the first time, again. Read | Sherlock new trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch is up against a ghost Now, that was a shock because Moriarty shot himself in the head and clearly died in front of our and Sherlock’s eyes. We are first given a quick recap of all that has happened so far since season one to how Moriarty seemed to have returned by the end of season 3. To break it down, we have our not-so-friendly neighbourhood detective, the great Sherlock Holmes, not in the familiar, modern London but during the reign of Queen Victoria, this time. It was rather too complex (if not the most) an episode than we are accustomed to watch in the series. Personally, we didn’t spot any foul business on the part of writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. The trailers had already prepared us for some of it but a great deal was left as a surprise - a surprise that many have taken well while some are beating their chests, saying they have been cheated. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman travel all the way back to Victorian era for the latest Sherlock special. The special Sherlock episode, The Abominable Bride, where Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reprise their roles as Sherlock and Watson, was crisp, cunning, mighty confusing and enough to leave you with a concussion. It was the first day of 2016 and BBC gave us this treat to celebrate the New Year. What a great start for television this year.
