Back in February, new photos from the set of Sherlock's Christmas Special showed Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) in Victorian Era clothing, which lead many to believe that the special will be set in the 19th Century. Entertainment Weekly caught up with series co-creator Steven Moffat, who confirmed that the special is set in Victorian Era London. Take a look at what he had to say below.
"The special is its own thing. We wouldn't have done the story we're doing, and the way we're doing it, if we didn't have this special. It's not part of the run of three episodes. So we had this to do it - as we could hardly conceal - it's Victorian. [Co-creator Mark Gatiss] and me, we wanted to do this, but it had to be a special, it had to be separate entity on its own. It's kind of in its own little bubble.
