Sherlock (series)

Sherlock was a television series broadcast on BBC One created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, both of whom have historically been prominent writers on Doctor Who.

Fandom for Sherlock and Doctor Who was often interconnected with each other, frequently leading to fan content celebrating the shows together, often by crossing them over with each other (the term "SuperWhoLock" tended to be used with this mixed fandom activity, which included fans of the American dark fantasy drama Supernatural). A prominent example of this was the short film Wholock, depicting Sherlock meeting the Eleventh Doctor, made by Ben Pickles under his John Smith VFX YouTube channel, prior to him working on Doctor Who officially.
