Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman go Victorian in a new promotional image for Sherlock's holiday special.
The duo look more dapper than ever in the posed shot, with Freeman appearing particularly distinguished thanks to his handlebar moustache.
Little is known about Sherlock's upcoming holiday special, other than it appears to be set in 1895 with the duo playing period versions of their characters.
Of course, this will be quite a change from the more fast-paced and modern setting for Sherlock's three previous series.
Co-showrunner Steven Moffat recently revealed that the decision to use a Victorian setting was based purely on his desire to see Holmes and Watson in their traditional era.
"We've got, I think you can safely say, the Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson of a generation - we want to see them do it in the proper outfits, just once," Moffat said backstage at the House of Fraser BAFTA Television Awards in May.

"That makes them the only two who've done both [period and contemporary] - apart from [Basil] Rathbone and [Nigel] Bruce, who we venerate, of course."
Sherlock producer Sue Vertue has also confirmed that the next three-part series will begin shooting in spring 2016.
No air date has yet been set for the Sherlock special, although it is expected to premiere in the festive season.
