Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss has hit back at speculation that the show's unaired pilot was deemed a "disaster".
Gatiss explained that the hour-long episode was only scrapped because the BBC chose to go with a 90-minute runtime.
Speaking on BBC Four series Mark Lawson Talks To, Gatiss said that he and Steven Moffat chose to put the original recording on Sherlock's series one DVD to end the potentially damaging rumours.
