Sherlock (TV series)

The following is mostly reserved for a time when more obscure crossovers are more well-accepted on the wiki

You may be looking for the in-universe series or the Big Finish audio series.

Sherlock was a television adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, and was created by the BBC from 25 July 2010 to 15 January 2017.

Crossovers with the DWU

As with various other adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes series, a number of official crossovers have occurred between the two series.

In the earliest documented crossover, the BBC Christmas ident Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars features the Sherlock versions of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson alongside the Twelfth Doctor, who all attend a Christmas party alongside Sprout Boy, the main character of the short.

Perhaps most notably, on 8 January 2017, the Sherlock TV series briefly crossed over with the DWU by featuring the Torchwood logo in the series 4 episode The Lying Detective. (more information to be added)

The series has also been referenced a few times as in-universe fiction.

On 20 April 2017, the novel The Shining Man featured a section where the Twelfth Doctor asks Noah Holland if he had read Sherlock Holmes, to which he replied "The guy on the telly?".

7 days later, on 27 April 2017, the comic story Killer App was released as part of DWA15 23. Within the comic, a poster for Sherlock, featuring the BBC One logo.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John Watson, Sherlock retells Arthur Conan Doyle's classic stories, in a modern setting and original storyline. The series also stars Gatiss himself as Mycroft Holmes, Rupert Graves as Inspector Lestrade, Louise Brealey as pathologist Molly Hooper, and Una Stubbs as landlady Mrs Hudson.
