Finally the BBC will reveal how Sherlock Holmes survived falling to his apparent certain death, in a festive TV lineup that will also include the first outing for Peter Capaldi as the Time Lord in the new Doctor Who.The BBC's Christmas and new year holiday season of programmes, announced on Tuesday, will include PD James' Pride and Prejudice sequel, Death Comes to Pemberley, starring Matthew Rhys as Mr Darcy; an adaptation of David Walliams' children's book Gangsta Granny; and festive editions of Strictly Come Dancing, Call the Midwife and The Great British Bake Off.The bawdy sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys will be back, as will another BBC sitcom from the gentler end of the spectrum, the return after nearly 30 years of Open All Hours, with David Jason.But it is Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role in Sherlock that is most likely to grip viewers' imaginations.

I enjoyed season one because it felt like a combination of an extended rom-com and listening to someone talk about their first dates, two genres I enjoy.
