Martin Freeman Says 'Sherlock' Would Lose Sheen With New Episodes

Martin Freeman, who plays John Watson in the BBC's critically acclaimed Sherlock, says the show could lose some of its sheen if the corporation keeps making new seasons. A fourth outing of the show will hit screens next year and there is a planned Christmas special at the end of 2015.

"That's the question I was asked 40 times a day: 'Do you miss Bilbo?' No, I don't, because I'm not mentally ill. Well, I am, in many ways! But I'm not deluded. I don't think he's real, and I don't think I am him," he added.

Freeman is about to begin work on the war-comedy The Taliban Shuffle, about a journalist who recounts her wartime coverage in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Based on the memoir of Kim Barker, the movie co-stars The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie and comedy actress Tina Fey.
