Doctor Who and Sherlock

I thought it was real for awhile. Then I noticed that it looked just a little too....CGI and I was like "Did Peter Jackson film this? It looks like a video game."
But for what it is, it's well done. Well put together.

There's also the lack of movement on the Doctor's part. Smith consciously keeps his character moving with a Chaplin or Buster-esque quality so seeing him standing still for so long is distracting. I know why this was done for the purposes of this work, but it unfortunately stands out in what is otherwise a fantastic bit of fun.

Do it, Moffat. Just do it. Do it!
OH, how I wish this scene would actually happen. Those two shows together would be all kinds of awesome.
Now throw in Dirk Gently and then you have something. XD
Honestly. I 'm surprised this hasn't been a Mini-sode, or a CiN special by now.
There was a CNN (Or was it FOX?) Special. Meghan Kelley declared she had proof that Khan and Santa Claus are definitely White (True Story..,Almost
) Oh wait, you said CiN, sorry, I read that as a News channel
^ Kelly is one of the super-geniuses on FOX News.
What if that's what the Christmas Day Sherlock minisode is?
Seriously, though, I could see a Sherlock/Who crossover as a Children in Need thing, not unlike the Doctor Who/Call the Midwife thing.
Moffat has said the two shows wouldn't work together; Sherlock's ratiocination would be an ill-fit to the Doctor's chaos.

Wouldn't that be sort of the point?
I would think so.
Matt Smith certainly was up for it, at least a cameo.
Moffat's objection, as I remember it, was that the Doctor lives in an impossible world of Daleks and time travel, while Sherlock Holmes lives in a world of ordered evidence and logic. Andy Lane made use of that in his Doctor Who novel All-Consuming Fire; Holmes' deductive abilities were useless when confronted with someone who could travel anywhere in a TARDIS.
I, personally, think it could work. If not a full crossover episode where the Doctor and Sherlock meet, perhaps an episode on each series that showed the Doctor and Sherlock working the same adventure/case, running into the same people, but never quite meeting. I think the challenge of that -- to make two stories that work independently but work beautifully together -- would have appealed greatly to Moffat.
