Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson wins everything in this short 20 second teaser for the upcoming Sherlock special, The Abominable Bride.” With just one perfectly delivered line, he makes you want to dive through the television screen and squeeze him. Or run from him. I’m not sure which – wait, I am. I want to squeeze him. Hard. I so very much want to quote the line for you right here, right now but it must be heard by your very own ears.

“The Abominable Bride” is a one-off special of the hit BBC One series Sherlock where Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson – looking quite dapper in their fancy hats – solve a mystery in Victorian London. You can check out the extended trailer, here.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride will air in both the UK (BBC) and United States (PBS) on Friday, Jan. 1, 2016.
