But what about Sherlock? That managed a massive fandom with barely any material.

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is event TV. This is a cosy. Different animal.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Sherlock is campy and way heavier on style (music, production values, humorous editing, banter, etc.) than substance. Bletchley is quieter, more realistic, far more in line with the classic Masterpiece Theater style stuff that I grew up with. I love it, but it doesn't have the air of spectacle about it that Sherlock does, so it's simply not going to have the same level of fandom. Which is probably a mercy.

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock had two pretty white boys and basically no other ingredients.

[iggy]

Pretty much this. I don't think it has to do with much else. Plus, big names surrounding it that already had big fanbases.

Sherlock has books and movies and other tv shows around it - in other words, a built-in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

The original books are not "around" Sherlock, tyvm, and many canon fans can't stand the show.

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess

[(Anonymous)]

I just realized that for a generation, the "excuuuuse me" line is a Spaceballs quote, not a Steve Martin quote.

I'm just going to climb onto this ice floe and drift off now, pardon me.

*pat pat pat*
There, there.

Have some whale blubber.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was a quote from that awful Legend of Zelda cartoon. What generation am I?

[tabaqui]

Still a built-in fandom for many, many, many people. Sherlock Holmes is sort of everywhere. Ask pretty much anyone who he is, and people will know. A lot easier to build a fandom around something that's basically part of pop culture (and has been for decades), than something utterly unknown and - in the US, at least, because PBS - hard to find.
