‘Sherlock’ fans are in for a treat this evening, when a trailer for the upcoming Christmas special will air on BBC1.
The show’s bosses have unveiled an 11-second teaser trailer for the episode, promising that an extended version will be screened during the ‘Great British Bake Off’ final.
While the short teaser gives precious little away, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about what the episode will entail, and sharing their delight on Twitter:

‘Sherlock’ showrunner Steven Moffat has previously teased fans with hints about the show, revealing that things are set to take a “darker” turn.
