Looking for something terrific to start off 2016? PBS Masterpiece (or BBC One in the UK) has a real treat in store the evening of January 1st, with a special 90-minute bonus episode of their acclaimed Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.The Abominable Bride portrays Holmes and Watson in 1890s London, the first time the show has featured iterations of these characters in the Victorian era. Written by show creator Steven Moffat with Mark Gatiss, and directed by Doctor Who veteran Douglas Mackinnon, the special is a bit of a mystery. Is it a dream sequence? An alternate universe? Whatever the case, we must savor this holiday treat, as it's the only Sherlock we're getting until season four debuts in 2017. The perils of a popular cast.
The Abominable Bride airs at 9:00 PM Western, Friday, January 1st. OH! And if you love Masterpiece, best not forget that this Sunday, our beloved Downton Abbey returns to begin its 6th and final season - but more on that later. Sounds like a tremendous weekend to get your Brit on, eh?
