Speaking to Den of Geek, the award-winning writer admitted that the programme may have been more family-orientated until it was "darkened" by Steven Moffat and himself.
He explained: "We did talk about it originally as sort of Doctor Who an hour later. But, actually, in the making of it, it darkened.
"So, it's still very funny, and I think what would be ideal, and this is what you'd always want, I'd think, would be for it to be the kind of programme that kids think they shouldn't quite be allowed to watch."
Sherlock, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, concludes with 'The Great Game' this Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
