Joined by "Murray-arty" and Count Von Count, the Sherlock star gets a chance to put his sleuthing skills to good use on the children's TV show - solving a mathematical equation involving fruit.

In the video, "arch nemesis" Murray-arty sets Cumberbatch the "brain-bending challenge" - but Benedict insists "I'm not really Sherlock, I just play him on the television" and has to enlist the Count to help solve the problem.

Cumberbitches, enjoy...
