*Episode spoilers follow*
Actress Louise Brealey says fans have been "so very, very kind" after her turn as a male character in this year's Sherlock special.
The Abominable Bride saw BBC's Sherlock delve into Victorian London where Molly Hooper was pretending to be a man. 'Hooper' came complete with gruff accent and fluffy moustache, running things in the morgue with none other than Anderson as her assistant.
Chuffed with the reaction from fans Brealey tweeted:
Posting a snap of the new-look Hooper, Brealey also thinks she really rather pulls off the look and is more than happy with that.
