Martin Freeman slams Sherlock trolls over Amanda Abbington abuse
Martin Freeman has criticised a minority of Sherlock fans who sent online threats to his long-time partner Amanda Abbington.
The actor - who plays John Watson on the BBC drama - said it was "ridiculous" that people tweeted abusive messages to Abbington after she was cast as love interest Mary Morstan.
He told Time Out: "To me, they're not fans of the show - they're fans of a show going on in their heads.
"Obviously I love Amanda and I want everyone to react positively to her; she plays a fantastic character and brings a hell of a lot to the third series."
Freeman also revealed his concern that the new series will be an anti-climax for viewers in regards to how Sherlock Holmes faked his death in the previous episode.
He said: "There's something slightly mundane in knowing the truth of a thing. It's like asking Derren Brown to explain one of the amazing things he does. When he tells you, you're likely to go, 'Oh, right, erm...' I still think it's going to be satisfying, though.
"Loads of people have gone to town on how they think it happened - and some of the theories have been quite close. We have some fun with that in the show."
Martin Freeman recently told Digital Spy and other journalists that working with Abbington was "lovely".
"She's known [show producer] Sue Vertue and Mark Gatiss for a very long time and they wanted her to be in it, which is fine by me," he explained.
"She's a really good actor, I know how good she is and I know how easy she is to work with and I'm a big fan of hers as a craftsperson. So yeah, she's wonderful!"
Sherlock will return for a third series on January 1, 2014 at 9pm on BBC One.

Sherlock creator says Louise Brealey's acting talent made him break his own rules
9 Dec 2013 16:47
Steven Moffat describes the actress who portrays Molly as 'extraordinary' and a 'wonderful actress'
Sherlock showrunner Steven Moffat has admitted that Louise Brealey's acting made him break his first rule of not introducing original characters.
Speaking with the show's co-creator Mark Gatiss said the actress who portrays morgue worker Molly is 'extraordinary' and a 'wonderful actress'.
"She's really interesting," Moffat told DigitalSpy. "Molly, because she was an absolute one-scene character for the pilot but Lou Brealy was just so fantastic.
"We went against our first decision which was 'We will not add a regular that's not from Doyle'. The first thing we did was add a regular character that's not from Doyle!"
He added: "I think she's fascinating because over time, certainly by the time you get to the second series, she wins every encounter with Sherlock.
"All the time, always. And by being honest and truthful with him. He's so on the back foot now with Molly, I think it's hilarious.
"In a way that John can never put Sherlock on the back foot, Molly really, really does. She sort of wins every single conversation."
Gatiss - who also plays Sherlock's brother Mycroft in the hit BBC One show added of the character: "It's also about what she has, which is independence. She may be quiet, she may be retiring but she's a strong woman at the same time.
"Just because she's fallen for a couple of sociopaths doesn't necessarily rule her out as a sane and courageous and strong woman."
* Sherlock series 3 airs on Wednesday 1 January 2014 on BBC One
