The update maintains some traditional elements of the stories, such as the Baker Street address and the evil Moriarty.

When speaking to The Sherlock Holmes Society of London and discussing the fact that the original Watson was invalided home after serving in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–1880), Gatiss realised that "It is the same war now, I thought. The same unwinnable war".

Creator: Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat
