Martin Freeman says Sherlock is one of the best shows he has worked on.
The Hobbit actor stars in the BBC drama as Dr John Watson, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch as detective Sherlock Holmes.
"Sherlock is one of the best written things I'll ever do. If I live to 100, I won't do many things that are better written than Sherlock," he said.
"Same with The Office, which was a perfect half-hour of comedy for my taste. As a fan, I'd like it."
Martin admits he looks for both physical and intellectual challenges in roles.
"Dr John's quite physical because he's a soldier, so he's a man of action, he's handy with a gun and has been shot on the battlefield.
"When something is well written and you get to run around and fire guns and chase people but also have fantastic dialogue, that's when it's most pleasurable."
Sherlock will be back on BBC1 for a third three-part series in 2013.
