PASADENA, Calif. \u2014 Benedict Cumberbatch had a ready answer when asked when he might star in another \u201cSherlock\u201d on PBS.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodbye,\u201d he said, pleasantly, as he darted out of camera range during a satellite Q&A Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Cumberbatch was speaking to TV critics from London about a very different drama he stars in and produced, \u201cThe Child in Time.\u201d The TV movie, based on Ian McEwan’s novel about a couple whose child is kidnapped, co-stars Kelly Macdonald and debuts April 1 on public television stations.<\/p>\n

Macdonald, who had flown in from her native Glasgow, Scotland, to promote the TV film, said she’d confessed to Cumberbatch that she was \u201ca huge\u201d fan of his modern-day Sherlock.<\/p>\n

She’s got her own connection with the fictional British sleuth: Macdonald plays Sherlock’s housekeeper, Mrs. Hughes, opposite Will Ferrell’s detective and John C. Reilly’s Dr. Watson in the big-screen comedy \u201cHolmes and Watson,\u201d set for release later this year.<\/p>\n

Cumberbatch was asked about how he manages a busy work schedule that includes the upcoming \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and launching a production company.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t worry, don’t worry,\u201d he replied. \u201cWorry’s like trying to get someone on a rocking horse. It’s a bit silly. \u201c<\/p>\n
