Christmas Specials-Sherlock and Call the Midwife

By Jennyallworthy

A Victorian Sherlock Holmes and John Watson!

Sherlock Holmes has gone Victorian for the holidays! Airing on PBS on January 1st at 9:00 pm we have Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman returning for a one off Sherlock special set in Victorian times with period settings. Yay! I love Sherlock but putting him back in his deer stalker hat and cape is inspired. And I love Mr. Watson's handlebar mustache.

Mr. Watson and Mr. Holmes look ready for adventure!

The Abominable Bride is a 90 minute special and I can't imagine a better way to usher in the new year! Here is a preview to whet your whistle:


Nurses Barbara Gilbert, Trixie Franklin and Patsy Mount are ready for Christmas!


But if you would like a great way to spend Christmas night, the ladies of Nonnatus House in Poplar East London are ready to celebrate 1960 style with a bus trip to Regent street to see the lights.

Are those nurse's caps or Christmas cracker hats?

Sister Evangelina is not in the Christmas spirit despite preparations for a televised carol sing but things go wrong when Sister Monica Joan goes missing. Hasn't she been missing before? At least she isn't barefoot this time!

A Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Cheers!
