Sherlock writer and co-creator Steven Moffat has said he is "reeling" from the show's success and can't believe they won a total of seven Emmy Awards.
Speaking after the Emmy Awards ceremony Moffat said, "When we started on Sherlock, we thought it was a simple, private thing – good but not celebrated.
"We are still reeling from its success, and the joy it has brought so many! We came out to LA thinking we would take nothing home but the memory of a great night – to have won seven Emmys in total is something none of us will ever forget."
At the Emmy Awards on Monday night (August 25) Sherlock took home the awards for Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or Dramatic Special, Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie (Martin Freeman).
At the Creative Emmys the week before Sherlock was a big winner on the night taking home four trophies.
