Benedict Cumberbatch reveals his conditions for returning to BBC’s Sherlock Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed exactly what needs to happen for him to return to Sherlock.
The 48-year-old actor played Sherlock Holmes opposite Martin Freeman’s Doctor John Watson in the BBC crime drama based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective.
Steven Moffat, the co-creator behind Sherlock on the BBC, recently insisted the show can’t return if Benedict and Martin don’t clear their schedules.
Both of its stars are kept busy in Hollywood and beyond, and while Benedict joked it would take ‘a lot of money’ to spark a return, it’s simpler than that.
He admitted ‘there’s always that itch to scratch’, but any potential return would need to ‘be the superlative version of what we’ve already achieved’.
