Doctor Who writer Stephen Moffat has announced that he will not entertain the idea of a crossover between Doctor Who and his other BBC show Sherlock Holmes.

In an interview with the New York Times, Moffat admitted that while he has thought about it in the past, mixing the Doctor with Sherlock Holmes would ultimately have a negative effect on Sherlock Holmes as it would undermine the believability of the detective show…

“I think there are problems of doing that. Because then you would say that Sherlock Holmes lives in the same world as The Doctor, and there are Daleks and all sorts of things. If a Sherlock Holmes story depends on time travel being impossible, it’s quite hard [to do it] if he’s a personal friend of The Doctor’s.”

Moffat revealed that he’s constantly bombarded with fans of both shows suggesting the crossover…

“I think everyone who’s passing me in the street is suggesting that at the moment,”
