Doctor Who season 7 boasts more emphasis on stand-alone episodes and less on story arcs as said Steven Moffat, they "went quite 'arc' last time...but that doesn't mean there aren't those things creeping in." He told RadioTimes.com. "You've got to find a way to make the last episode special and by God that worked, ratings-wise last year." He also told fans to look out for the episode 7.2 of the show's title as "it's one of my favourite titles ever."
As well as dispelling rumours that Benedict Cumberbatch would make an appearance on Doctor Who since shooting takes place at the same time for both. I don't know, seems like having Sherlock Holmes in Doctor Who may look out of place and may appear to be garnering for ratings on the back of both shows. Perhaps further down the track there could be mention of this; it could work like the inclusion of Charles Dickens, Shakespeare. However Matt Smith and Benedict are actors who exhibit similar acting traits and nuances to their respective characters. So I'm happy watching each actor stick to their own show!
Meanwhile, Benedict has been pondering the role of Dracula and said, "there's a script in the pipeline - I've been fighting it rather than being it." It can be argued any role he takes will fit as he just makes each one his own. "There's a lot of Gothic in Sherlock. I don't like to repeat myself much. I think there are too many vampire franchises." Have to agree there: vampires can be overrated or underrated, but at the moment he's happy with his lot.
Mind you, Dracula's been done to 'blood-curdling' death. Either it would need to be revamped as Sherlock was or else be extremely atmospheric with perhaps an emphasis on the character of Dracula, rather than the story or myth surrounding him.
For now, Benedict wants "to do something with an American accent, so you won't recognize me." Not a chance there! Of not being recognized I mean!
