Sherlock Special: 10 Major Things We Learnt From The New Trailer
3. "What Made You Like This?"
The trailer is full of juicy moments that whet our appetite for what's to come, and this exchange is one of the best. Amongst the clips of mystery and murder, Watson confronts Holmes and asks him "what made you like this?" Sherlock seems offended and replies "Oh, Watson, nothing made me. I made me."
While Conan Doyle never explained why Sherlock is the way he is, that hasn't stopped numerous adaptations of the character doing so. Will Moffat and Gatiss surprise us all by sneaking Sherlock's origin story into the special? Or is this exchange the end of it? If it isn't, the idea that Sherlock's past will be explored would neatly fit into the theme of ghosts from the past we've already mentioned. The plot thickens... Literally.
