I had low expectations (not being a Dr Who fan) and ended up with mixed feelings.
What I thought good - Dr Watson wasn't a bumbling character, the incidental music was good, some imaginative touches (e.g. how texts were used and displayed).
Not so good - Cumberbatch didn't do it for me as Sherlock; the plot wasn't up to much; the villain was disappointing; as was the acting of Mark Gatiss in a role that looks to be an ongoing one (he cannot do sinister; and it's about time someone told him!).
6/10 - I'll be giving the rest a miss

A pretty long story - 2h 25m (without commercials, of course, being the BBC).

P.S. Aren't they written by Steven Moffat rather than Mark Gatiss?
Oh, and it was 1hr 25m.
