Many Sherlock viewers will have missed the cameo appearance at the end of ‘The Final Problem’, likely preoccupied by the show’s rather busy ending.
Another cameo appearance saw the return of Benedict Cumberbatch’s real-life parents, the actors Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton, who play Sherlock’s mum and dad.
But a few Paul Weller fans did notice that, yes, that is the 58-year-old Jam star hiding beneath a Viking costume in the final scenes.
In ‘The Final Problem’ they are furious to learn that their other son Mycroft (Mark Gatiss), faked the death of their daughter Euros in a house fire, and has been keeping her in a maximum security facility.
