During the earlier years of the last decade, audiences all over the globe could hardly get their fill of BBC's Sherlock. Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle's highly influential detective figure and Martin Freeman's Doctor John Watson both received critical acclaim as did the show's more contemporary 21st Century setting. Unfortunately, the show became a victim of its own success as it propelled both Cumberbatch and Freeman into the international spotlight. It also didn't help that Season 4 ended on a whimper, which many is saying is largely the reason why the show's not been renewed for a fifth season.

However, if you ask one of the show's co-creators, Stephen Moffat, he'd love for nothing to come back and write another season of Sherlock.

Moffat recently joined BBC's Today program where he revealed his thoughts about working on a new season of Sherlock. He said that he'd "start writing tomorrow" if the show's main stars agreed to return, saying: "They're on to bigger and better things but, Martin and Benedict, 'please come back?"

Sherlock's first two seasons were nothing short of special as Cumberbatch was locked in a battle of wits against his nemesis, Jim Moriarty. Season 3 wasn't half-bad either with Lars Dittmann Mikkelsen's Charles Augustus Magnussen playing a compelling villain.
