Chatting to The Guardian about his upcoming role as the famous detective, Henry said: "I don’t think any other version has had Sherlock this aware of creating his own myth. Maybe he’s slightly sexed up the dossier of his own legend.

"And then we look back at that from a place of: ‘He’s [expletive] it'...This Sherlock is so far from any of the freewheeling, super-sassy genius versions of the character." He added that he initially went for the role of Watson, and couldn't understand when he didn't get the part, explaining: "I did such a good audition. I was so annoyed. I was so annoyed. I kept on saying to my agent, 'I just don’t understand why I’m not in this show, because I feel like I nailed it.'"
