A Sherlock series finale that features a nod to the actors who really started it all could be the perfect way to wrap up a fantastic reimagining.
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce starred as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in a hugely popular series of films based on the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Fans might not like to think about Sherlock coming to an end any time soon, but Mark Gatiss’ reveal to TVLine proves that the team behind the scenes has always been thinking way ahead.
The duo teamed up for a whopping 14 movies between 1939 and 1946, and they were the actors most widely associated with the characters of Holmes and Watson for many years in any medium.
