Might the BBCs Sherlock adapt The Adventure Of The Blue Carbuncle for its 2015 festive special?
It features a goose, a shiny gemstone and a punch line punning on Holmes and Watsons Christmas dinner.
In crime fiction, it doesnt get much more festive.
A host of bumbling Dickensian characters, from the repentant crook to the down-on-his-luck hat owner?
Its little wonderThe Blue Carbuncleis a fan-favourite among Doyle readers.
Its popularity hasnt escapedSherlockco-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat either.
(Its a different show, but everyDoctor Whofestive special so far has been a turkey and tinsel-fest).
Tumblr will thank you).
