The Doctor and Sherlock Holmes Are a Perfect Fictional Team

This is what Martin Freeman (The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy), who plays John Watson on Steven Moffat's new hit show Sherlock, thinks.

The British actor told What's on TV:

"I don't feel as passionate about Doctor Who as Stephen does, but I've enjoyed watching it more since being a father.

"We met Matt Smith while filming Sherlock in Cardiff because the Baker Street set is next to the [Who] set. It was strange seeing Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor together. They are the perfect fictional team."

Sherlock's first episode, A Study in Pink, garnered an impressive audience of 7.5 million viewers.

The next episode, The Blind Banker, airs this Sunday on BBC One at 8h30pm.
