Don’t spoil the surprise – that is the warning Sherlock creators have issued after the final episode in the series was leaked online.
The culmination of the current three-part series four is due to air tomorrow night, titled The Final Problem, but a Russian version of the episode has already been leaked online.
Images apparently taken from the leaked episode had been circulating on social media today.
