Victorian TV Sherlock Set for Christmas

Fans of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series (and there are many) staring Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role with Martin Freeman as his Watson can rejoice. The dynamic duo will be transported to Victorian England for a holiday special likely set to air next Christmas. From Collider:

Well, add the apparent ability to time travel to the long list of things at which Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) is generally unmatched. Steven Moffat, co-creator of Sherlock, confirmed today to EW that the series’ anticipated Christmas special will be set in Victorian England, just ahead of the Sherlock SXSW conference. Details about the episode are scant, but we can now assume it will involve Holmes and Watson (Martin Freeman) investigating a major crime in the 19th century.

Nor is that the only thing big fans have to look forward to:

The fourth season of Sherlock is also currently filming and will likely premiere around the same time as the Christmas special.
