Trailer For ‘Sherlock’ Victorian-Era Special Released

The Sherlock Special trailer is debuted on the BBC one following the finale episode of “The Great British Bake Off”, the previous night. There’s those images of hooded minions, looking like a few higher order of the Ku Klux Klan, and general action fireworks, all of which suggests that the Special will not be so much about the wit and more about the dark elements of crime and violence that our beloved heroes must untangle and reckon with. While the plot is still under wraps, the trailer gives us a taste of what we can expect, with at least one murder mystery for our favorite detectives to solve. Really they should have just made the full thing a bigger budget theatrical movie, although the production design and period detail looks impressive enough as it is.

Sherlock Special is already trending on Facebook and twitter within one day of trailer release.

No official synopsis has been released for the coming Christmas special but we do know that it is to be based on the famous short story “The Red-Headed League.” “The curtain rises. We are ready to begin”, Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes says at the start of the trailer.

Everyone knows that 19th century England is also known as the Victorian era that is why the show is called Victorian special.

Each of the first three seasons of “Sherlock” only had three episodes apiece, but the TV series is very popular especially in its home country, the UK.

“You’re Sherlock Holmes, for God’s sake” he snaps, “wear the damn hat!”. Fans would love it to be sure, but as Moffat said, “That’s a question that I get asked so often, and I can’t keep answering it. It’s all right for ‘Doctor Who.’ That’s fine”.

But don’t go looking for a reasonable explanation for the characters’ temporal relocation; Moffat and co-creator Mark Gatiss threw out early ideas for a dream sequence or Victorian-themed house party to explain the change in era.
