The Abominable Bride features a Victorian theme and is available for purchase through YouTube, though you can watch it for free with a Netflix subscription.

Benedict Cumberbatch granted an interview with PBS before the Sherlock Season 4 premiere. During the interview, he explained how he developed his Sherlock character.

“Sherlock isn’t just Sherlock, he was a baby, then a child, then an adolescent, then a young adult, and then the 30-year-old that you met in Series One Episode One. We know he’s got a brother called Mycroft and parents but what the hell was his childhood really like? I wanted to know all that information very early on because you’re playing the most adapted and greatest fictional detective of all time.

“You need to have a back story to work off as an actor because what are you doing other than emulating certain airs and graces and mannerisms. What I try to do is underpin all those decisions with an informed understanding of who my character is. “

Also interviewed was Martin Freeman, who plays Dr. John Watson. As Freeman’s character is now married and preparing for fatherhood, he explained how his character’s changes would impact his relationship with Sherlock Holmes. You may read his response below.

“The fact John is with Mary and ensconced in that life and not living at Baker Street anymore changes something in the relationship between John and Sherlock. It wouldn’t be much of a show if it changed it to the extent there was just that domestic life and all we were doing were feeding babies and changing nappies and then Sherlock is off fighting crime on his own.

“It still has to be the same show so there has to be a bit of give and take. Obviously when you get married and have a baby that trumps everything else in real life but for this show John and Sherlock’s friendship has to stay central so it will still be very John and Sherlock centric but the reality is that John has moved on as he did in Conan Doyle’s books – he moved out and had his own life slightly away from that.”
