The latest issue of the Sherlock Holmes Magazine is a must-read for Doctor Who fans because — as you can see from the cover — it includes a feature about the many times the two franchises have crossed paths!

I have a friend who – every time I pitch an idea to him – instantly tells me which film/ book/ TV series it reminds him of. “Oh, that sounds just like Blake’s 7!” he’ll say. “And?” says I. “So does Firefly. And Star Wars. And Star Trek, if you think about it.” The list goes on. In recent times, I think a wave of paranoia has been sweeping across…

It’s been a decade since Sherlock took the world by storm and to celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary, creators, Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss recently spoke to the Radio Times about the project.

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, creators of the hit BBC drama, Sherlock, mused over who they would cast as a female version of the iconic character, created by Arthur Conan Doyle. And Moffat, perhaps unsurprisingly suggested a name very familiar to Doctor Who fans: Michelle Gomez!
