The similarities are just too much for this to be a coincidence - it's just got to be a well done (and a damn fun) homage.

I'd also say that it strongly, strongly parallels a movie that I happen to love - right down to its surprise plot device, key character interactions, and a symbolic act by the main protagonist in the climactic scene. Also, as good as the trailer was I can say that it offers much more in its story than you'd expect.

I will say that I loved it - I'd rate it a perfect 10, as I would just about any episode of this amazing TV show.

What can I say about the 'Sherlock' Christmas special, 'The Abominable Bride?' Extremely little, for fear of spoilers. Crazy, fun, Gothic, energetic, waited a long time, and it was worth the wait. The scenes between Holmes and Moriarty once again were simply amazing, Andrew Scott is just unbelievable, he is such a charismatic performer. Cumberbatch was definitely on fine form, I loved the altered appearance, suited him, I noticed a few Jeremy Brettisms, not sure if anyone else did, maybe the hair and some of the body language. It managed to feel fresh and exhilarating once again. Beautiful cinematography, great direction, awesome production values. A few minor quibbles, a little contrived at times, and as is the nature of the show it did seem a little wrapped up in its own smuggness at times, but I was utterly enveloped in the story, it had me wrapped from start to finish.

Series 3 had been somewhat of a disappointment, a little too self satisfied I suppose, so I'm glad they did something different to refresh it, it was certainly different. I must admit I have been hugely looking forward to this, possibly because I was keen to see how the altered setting would work. The duo must uncover how this devious crime was carried out. Sherlock and Watson land in the late Nineteenth Century to solve the case of Emelia Ricoletti, a bride that killed herself, and then later manages to shoot her husband and bring about the death of Lord Carmichael. Doesn't matter if they don't however, this one was so good it really was the perfect after-Christmas present. This was the best 'Sherlock' I've yet seen and sets an almost impossibly high standard for what may come after this. I'm sure there will be Sherlock-oligists who can pick apart the complexities of the plot, which for sure seemed at times like a read-across from Moffat and Gatiss's other re-creation Dr Who, but let them, they won't spoil it for me. The playing by Cumberbatch, Freeman and Andrew Scott as the three main protagonists was never better.

There was humour a-plenty and hosts of references to the Conan-Doyle original, including, if I'm not mistaken, the first time this Sherlock has ever said 'Elementary my dear Watson'. As ever, the technical aspects of the production were great, I'm a sucker for the multiple camera-angle, 360 degrees perspective, time-freezing, computer graphics and microscopic zoom shots employed. Starting with a Victorian-era impossible murder with an even more impossible murderer, guest appearances by all the previous supporting cast including a massively-bloated Mycroft, surely a homage to Sydney Greenstreet and the return of the master-criminal we've all missed, a premonition of another husband-slaying in a big old house after dark, a recreation of the real Reichenbach Fall climax of yore, an ingenious denouement anticipating female suffrage years later but perhaps the best thing of all was the promise of a new series to come. The writing really was terrific with a plot that had more ups and downs than a mountain range, more ins and outs than Hampton Court Maze and more twists and turns than a dozen corkscrews, in short it was a triumph. 'The Fall' re-starts next week although it is my least anticipated of the three, while 'Luther's' comeback was very good but this dazzlingly brilliant episode was the best thing I've watched this Christmas. The BBC has been trailing the return of three (okay, four) of its most popular detective heroes in a clever advertisement showing Stella Gibson from 'The Fall', John Luther and Sherlock (and Dr Watson).
