"The relationship between Sherlock and Watson is treated beautifully; Sherlock effectively falls in love with him in the film, but it's so desperately unspoken." - Mark Gatiss on TPLOSH

"The whole notion, the idea of them possibly being a couple is inspired by the joke in the Billy Wilder film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes." - Mark Gatiss on TPLOSH, SDCC 2016
