Actually, the idea started with a conversation about a possible “Sherlock” wayback flashback or a dream sequence or something. “Why don’t we just do a Victorian one?’ Just because we can, really”.

“We never bothered explaining what they were doing in modern London”, the Times quotes Moffat.

Doyle stories that are scary chillers we haven’t done much. How or why it will take place more than a century earlier than the series normally does will not be explained in the episode. “I quite like it, ‘” said Moffat. “We’re not making this up”. “Nothing’s inconceivable if you have bad taste”.

According to a variety of sources, like Entertainment Weekly, viewers will not be given any explanation as to why Sherlock is set in the Victorian era for the upcoming special.

They’re the same people, seen through the prism of a different time and fitting in to a different society.

In fact, Moffat said he would embrace a more mature Sherlock and Watson. There will once again be three episodes, and for the most part they will revolve around our two leading men.

“I don’t think it will be us that switch it off”, he said.
