In this new series Dr. Watson used to be a Captain (and medical doctor) serving with the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers deployed to Afghanistan. The 5th Northumberland Fusiliers did indeed serve in Afghanistan in the Second Afghan-Anglo war (1878-1880). The first story of the old Sherlock Holmes series took place in 1881. The 5th Northumberland Fusiliers, however, was renamed into the "The Northumberland Fusiliers" in the year 1881 (no 5th left in title), which means the modern Dr. Watson service with the 5th Northumberlands is a nod to its old heritage. The former 5th Northumberlands evolved into its last formation named "Royal Northumberland Fusiliers" and was deactivated in 1968.

Watson's reference to Holmes as "Spock" has another significance. The original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, has also played Sherlock Holmes. Nimoy also recorded a song called "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins," based on The Hobbit. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch appeared together in the film adaptations.

Q
How did Sherlock survive the fall?
A
No one really knows... All the possibilities shown in "The Empty Hearse" were different theories of characters. The theory at the end of the show is also one of Anderson's theories and he is imagining Sherlock talking to him.
Q
Why are there only three episodes per season/series?
A
Unlike American television, where even premium-cable series typically have at least 10 episodes, British television has many recurring series that have only a handful of episodes. Highly regarded shows such as "Foyle's War" and "Luther," for example, have only two to four episodes a year.More than that, the people behind "Sherlock" treat their work as something different from simply making extra-long television programs. In an August, 2011 press release from BBC One, "Sherlock" co-creator Steven Moffat responded to suggestions that there should be more than three episodes in each season/series by saying, "We think of them as films because they are ninety minutes long and once we knew we weren't doing hour long episodes they needed to be on that sort of scale. They have to have the size and weight of a movie."
Q
Have Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch appeared in other movies together?
A
They did not appear together before "Sherlock." However, they are both in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies." Martin Freeman plays the lead (Bilbo Baggins), and Benedict Cumberbatch performs as the dragon Smaug and The Necromancer, both through voice and motion capture.
