Thousands of Sherlock fans spent months convinced there was a secret fifth episode hidden inside Series 4. They weren't entirely wrong — and what they found will make you look at the finale very differently.

Series 1 aired in 2010. Most of us were different people then. And somehow, watching it back now, the show knows that — and has things to say to who we became.

The unaired pilot of Sherlock is available to watch. Most fans haven't seen it. Those who have say it's the strangest experience in the show's entire history — like watching someone become themselves in real time.

Conan Doyle killed Holmes and the public sent him hate mail. The BBC ended Sherlock and the public built an entire parallel universe to continue it. Somewhere between those two responses is something important about what stories do to people.

He played the world's most famous detective and the Marvel universe's most powerful sorcerer at the same time. What almost nobody knows is how close those two roles came to cancelling each other out — and which one he fought harder to keep.

He has one scene in the show where he is genuinely happy. Not performing contentment, not managing his presentation. Actually happy. It lasts eleven seconds. Fifteen years later, fans still treat those eleven seconds like a gift.

Watson's blog exists. It was updated during the show's run, in Watson's voice, with case notes that never appeared on screen. Most fans don't know it's still online — or what it says about cases Holmes never told us about.

There is a moment in Sherlock that Cumberbatch has described as the hardest thing he has ever been asked to do on screen. It is not a dramatic scene. It is not a physical challenge. It is eleven words — and how to say them to someone who cannot hear them.
