An alienated human being, who - no matter the occasion - always wears the same black trench coat and blue knit scarf, who delights in the prospect of a murder, and who occupies the fabricated position of London's most qualified "consulting" detective, could not be more far removed from... ...an alien Time Lord who - regardless of the time period - never changes his eccentric and iconic outfits, who becomes excited when an unknown danger is ambushing a mysterious planet, and who calls himself "the Doctor" without even brandishing proof of a PhD. Oh, wait. These two eccentric and unforgettable television serials (that just so happen to be helmed by the same writers) have been grappling for the spotlight ever since their respective inceptions. With such distinct personalities and vibrant characters, Doctor Who and Sherlock have amazed, endeared and thrived in their respective universes and, occasionally, their universes collide. Although the Doctor often faces a peril that threatens to ravage and destroy the human race or disintegrate the space-time continuum, Sherlock encounters discombobulating cases, murder intrigues, scandalous secrets and terrorist schemes that would leave London in shambles if not for the resourcefulness and uncanny deduction skills of a very disagreeable detective. You will find that the similarities between the plots, characters and themes of these two franchises far outnumber their differences - it is a mystery just waiting to be solved and a galaxy of possibilities longing to be explored. Allons-y! The game is on!
