I have a vague memory of a Sherlock Holmes series airing the last time I was a permanent resident of the 21st century. I was rather preoccupied that summer, so I can't recall it with any real clarity.
I can imagine. There is apparently a series about the Doctor, which I'm assuming you're aware of, given your recognition of the TARDIS. I haven't looked into it to see what role, if any, I play in it. Like you said, it's unnerving.
