Any questions, naturally just ask. We’d prefer if you’d send an ask not anonymously so we can reply privately and not clog up people’s dashes.
NEVER play a word association game with Benedict Cumberbatch! The man is the living Oxford Dictionary. However, get him at two in the morning and needing a sugar fix and you can beat him.
[Sherlock] probably isn’t a virgin. I can’t imagine that man as a virgin. Something happened, somewhere. I think Sherlock would have to, somewhere. He’s a man with a past…
This is a great article. I love Moffat’s take on Sherlock, obviously, but I love how explicit he is in this, especially with regards to how the show handles sex. Sex and love are different. Sex and admiration are different. I am fully in support of the idea that Sherlock Holmes is asexual, but I have a hard time believing he’s a virgin. So much human behavior revolves around sex. So many crimes are sexual in nature. Nearly all serial killings are. As a scientist and especially as a detective, having sex would be invaluable research.
On May 2, 2012, PBS and Masterpiece held a screening/Q&A event in New York for Sherlock Series 2, which premieres on PBS May 6. The event featured actor Benedict Cumberbatch, co-creator Steven Moffat & producer Sue Vertue. 10,000+ people tried to get tickets, and fans flew in from as far away as London, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
If you lived in London…why would you fly to New York…for a British TV show…?
There’s basically only two “new” pieces of information. One of them was already blindingly obvious, and the other is hilarious but indefinite.
So this is your fair warning: I won’t be treating what was said in this interview as spoilers. Flee now if you wish.
P.S. Dear editor, “The Final Solution” is not the same as “The Final Problem.” Thanks.
THIS MEANS MORAN CONFIRMED. WE WILL HAVE MORAN.
I REPEAT
THIS MEANS MORAN CONFIRMED
Gatiss also added that Watson’s reaction to the return of his friend Holmes in season three would differ from that in the original book.
“I always found it a little unlikely that Dr Watson’s only reaction was to faint for instance – as supposed to possibly a stream of terrible swear words,” he said.
Haha YES. A snarky, sharp-shooting, straight-from-Afghanistan army doctor fainting? Nope. More like socking his friend in the face, not avoiding nose and teeth this time.
