“The stage is set. The curtain rises. We are ready to begin.”

There’s nothing quite like a good horror story at Christmastime, and if the latest trailer for Sherlock: The Abominable Bride is anything to go by, that’s exactly what we’re getting!

The special one-off episode is set in Victorian times, and sees Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman’s John Watson come up against an avenging ghost…

What if the world’s most famous consulting detective and his best friend lived in a Baker Street of steam trains, hansom cabs, top hats and frock-coats? Welcome to ‘Sherlock’ in 1895!

Some things, though, remain reassuringly the same. Friendship, adventure and especially, MURDER…

Why is Thomas Ricoletti a little surprised to see his wife dressed in her old wedding gown?  Because, just a few hours before, she took her own life…

Mrs Ricoletti’s ghost now appears to be prowling the streets with an unslakeable thirst for revenge. From fog-shrouded Limehouse to the bowels of a ruined church, Holmes, Watson and their friends must use all their cunning to combat an enemy seemingly from beyond the grave and the final, shocking truth about…the Abominable Bride!

All the regular cast are expected to return, with glimpses of Rupert Graves as Lestrade (nice sideburns) and Amanda Abbington, and we also get a glimpse of guest star, Tim McInnerny (Planet of the Ood).

The Abominable Bride airs on New Year’s Day.
