Actor Benedict Cumberbatch says he won't get tired of playing Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock" as long as the quality is maintained.

The 38-year-old, who plays the titular role in the TV series, says while he has carved out a career in movies, he isn't ready to turn his back on the programme, reports contactmusic.com.

"If we can keep the quality up, I can't imagine that I will ever get tired of being Sherlock. I'd love to play him as an old man.

"I really, really love my job. I love sets. I love crews. I love theatres. I love audiences," Vogue magazine quoted Cumberbatch as saying.
