Sherlock Special: 10 Major Things We Learnt From The New Trailer
4. Tim McInnerny Is In It
For those who don't know, Tim McInnerny is a prolific British character actor, probably most famous for his various roles in the popular historical sitcom Blackadder. Recently, however, he's become something of a go-to villain actor, appearing as antagonists in such BBC dramas as Doctor Who and Hustle. Will McInnerny turn out to be the culprit here?
On the subject of the supporting cast, while we know that Mary, Mrs Hudson, Lestrade and possibly Mycroft will make appearances in the special, there is still one member of the Sherlock gang not yet present - but we think we've spotted her. The voice in the trailer that says "who are you? I demand you speak, who are you?" sounds an awful lot like Louise Brealey who plays Sherlock-infatuated pathologist Molly Hooper. An original creation for Sherlock, it will be interesting to see how Molly fits into the show when it travels back in time.
