With the kind of excitement that only comes with great anticipation, fans wait with bated breath. After nearly a decade-long hiatus, the question on everyone's mind - the return of the super detective, Sherlock Holmes – was about to be answered.

Benedict Cumberbatch, with his composed poise and a smile that hints at an underplayed wit, greets his ever-patient audience.
