New ‘Sherlock’ trailer sets the mood for the upcoming special

While we know that the new Christmas special of BBC’s Sherlock is set in the 19^th century. We don’t know too many details about this Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat creation. Aside from seeing them in their Victorian garb (and John Watson’s moustache comeback), we sense the somewhat darker mood of the show.
