Gatiss: I don’t see why people are so obsessed with ‘Wholock’

Writer Mark Gatiss has said that he doesn’t get why some fans are still so keen on the idea of a Doctor Who and Sherlock crossover.

Speaking to DNAIndia he said: “I don’t want to be a killjoy or Ebenezer Scrooge, but I don’t see why people are so obsessed with the idea. When I was a kid, I had no desire for TARDIS to appear alongside the Starship Enterprise. I liked them as they were.

“Having said that, I can say that if we did do it, it would disappoint people. Because the image they have in their heads will always be better.”

However he adds: “It may be possible to do a crossover for Comic Relief or as a sketch, but that’s it. We should be careful about not giving people everything they want.”
