“For me and Ben it’s quite something just to put different clobber on, you know. “The Victorian angle was very exciting to me,” Martin Freeman explains. “And part of the impulse came from me and Mark saying ‘wouldn’t it be a shame if we never got to see them do it in the authentic setting?'” “I suppose we can boast and say we’ve got the Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson of this current time,” says Moffat, on where the idea came from. “And then eventually when they told me the idea properly I thought that’s going to be stunning.” “I thought they’d gone bonkers,” producer Sue Vertue admits, when first told about the idea to rewind to Victorian times.
With the Sherlock winter special only 3 weeks away, the series’ official Youtube channel has whetted our appetites (like we weren’t already salivating) by releasing a new 3-minute behind-the-scenes look at the episode! Watch it below:Īlternatively, if you don’t fancy sitting through some Sherlocky goodness (personally, we can’t stop watching Rupert Graves’ massive muttonchops) we’ve picked out a few choice quotes. “I think it’s because I’m in some of it now,” adds Martin Freeman, more succintly. “I think it is do with Conan Doyle’s extraordinary invention which has a universal appeal to all nationalities.”
“I think the enduring appeal of Sherlock Holmes has always been global, actually,” says Benedict. That was vaguely amusing for about four seconds.”Īnd the other puts the tough question to the cast of ‘why is Sherlock such a global success?’ While Martin himself backs up the statement by admitting, with characteristic drollness: “I slipped over yesterday. “Martin Freeman’s probably the funniest thing that’s happened on set recently,” says Benedict. The first sees the cast grilled on their favourite funny moments from filming The Abominable Bride. Doesn't matter if they don't however, this one was so good it really was the perfect after-Christmas present.UPDATE: The Sherlock youtube channel have released two more behind-the-scenes features. This was the best "Sherlock" I've yet seen and sets an almost impossibly high standard for what may come after this. I'm sure there will be Sherlock-oligists who can pick apart the complexities of the plot, which for sure seemed at times like a read-across from Moffat and Gatiss's other re-creation Dr Who, but let them, they won't spoil it for me. The playing by Cumberbatch, Freeman and Andrew Scott as the three main protagonists was never better. There was humour a-plenty and hosts of references to the Conan-Doyle original, including, if I'm not mistaken, the first time this Sherlock has ever said "Elementary my dear Watson". As ever, the technical aspects of the production were great, I'm a sucker for the multiple camera-angle, 360 degrees perspective, time-freezing, computer graphics and microscopic zoom shots employed.
#WATCH SHERLOCK THE ABOMINABLE BRIDE WITH SUBTITLES SERIES#
Starting with a Victorian-era impossible murder with an even more impossible murderer, guest appearances by all the previous supporting cast including a massively-bloated Mycroft, surely a homage to Sydney Greenstreet and the return of the master-criminal we've all missed, a premonition of another husband-slaying in a big old house after dark, a recreation of the real Reichenbach Fall climax of yore, an ingenious denouement anticipating female suffrage years later but perhaps the best thing of all was the promise of a new series to come. The writing really was terrific with a plot that had more ups and downs than a mountain range, more ins and outs than Hampton Court Maze and more twists and turns than a dozen corkscrews, in short it was a triumph. "The Fall" re-starts next week although it is my least anticipated of the three, while "Luther's" comeback was very good but this dazzlingly brilliant episode was the best thing I've watched this Christmas. The BBC has been trailing the return of three (okay, four) of its most popular detective heroes in a clever advertisement showing Stella Gibson from "The Fall", John Luther and Sherlock (and Dr Watson).
