The Doctor and The Detective Return

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

Folks, I’m sure you’re all aware of the popular show, Sherlock. Sherlock is about a modern day Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) solving crimes like those Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about.  

Well, not too long ago something miraculous popped up in newsfeeds everywhere.  Sherlock will start filming a special and three new episodes in 2015. Everything will be finished and broadcasted in 2016. Moffat has given us a bit of insight into the filming, in which he claims that something will happen with Sherlock, and it is the last thing we’d expect. The dynamic duo are also set to enter deeper, darker waters in their upcoming adventures.

Most of us Sherlockians are hoping for a variety of things including Wholock (Sherlock crossing over with Doctor Who), Johnlock (John and Sherlock getting together), and many other concepts.
Tying in with news of British television, not too long ago we have received our first glimpse into the new Doctor Who which will be airing on August 23rd, 2014. Along with this premiere date, we have been given the plot of the first full episode with Capaldi as the Doctor. In the adventures of this new Doctor, the Doctor seems to have forgotten who he is. He lands in Victorian London with Clara, encounters the famous Paternoster gang, as well as Jack the Ripper, and the clockwork droids.

There are other rumors of what may happen this season such as a Robin Hood episode, a shrinking Tardis, the return of Danny Pink, the Daleks exterminating once more, the revealed mystery of Mrs. Delphox, and the Cybermen marching onto our screens yet again. There’s also rumor that this Doctor will be much darker and grittier than Matt or Christopher’s.

As a Whovian and Sherlockian, I’m entertaining the idea that there may be a Wholock. This is the season where the Doctor will be remembering himself, discovering himself, and who better to help him than Sherlock? After all, Moffat did say anything was possible, and that it would be something we’d least expect with Sherlock.


What do you think Moffat has in store?
