Sherlock co-creator has chatted about the gay fanfiction he gets sent by the show’s followers.

Gatiss told Australian gay magazine DNA: “Oh my God. I get sent things that would make your hair turn white. It’s not just Sherlock and Watson holding hands on a park bench, I can tell you that.”

He joked: “Some of them are incredibly graphic, but my goodness I’ve not tried half the things they’re doing.”

Sherlock will return for a one-off Christmas special in 2015, followed by a series of three new episodes in 2016.
