Sherlocked 2017 memories #16: Here’s some things I
remembered from the con, that I was there for, but didn’t tell you in my
reports: in my platinum meet n greet with Claire Pritchard she had 3 wigs with
her, the long Eurus wig (that cost 6 thousand pounds because of it’s length!)
and two Sherlock wigs. One was from TAB & she said that the shot in the aeroplane
where we first see the back of Benedict’s head, she is really proud of, because
the wig looks so good! She actually had a mini heart attack when the producers
said that Ben had said he wanted short hair because they just couldn’t do the
modern scenes with short hair & she had to ask for special dispensation to
have the wig made because it was so expensive for just a few scenes!
The other wig was what she called a threequarters wig.
Benedict turned up from filming Dr Strange with long hair in the front but
quite short at the back, so the wig has metal at the front which clips onto
Ben’s head about an inch back from his hairline so that it’s his fringe &
front hair showing, and then the rest of his hair showing is all wig. They used
this on all of the first episode of S4 & by the second episode his was long
enough in the back, so it’s all his own hair from then onwards.
She also told us that Sherlock & Eurus’ wigs are the
exact same colour & that Mark has his hair dyed as close to Sherlock’s hair
colour as they can get it.
Oh yes, he does! It’s definitely from the ACD canon, and there is that wince in HLV, but just, for as much as I love thinking about Sherlock and bees the show hasn’t directly mentioned it, which I thought found funny. But yes, the love of bees is definitely canon.
The man has a bee picture in his bedroom. His love for bees will be explicit canon. TBLC.
I had a nice little private chat with Arwel….. (my favorite moments at the con!!!)
I asked him about the end of TFP:
ME: I wondered about John’s chair at the end of TFP. I understood that his usual chair was burned and must be replaced. But why does he seem to look like the one from TAB???”
ARWEL: Probably because it’s the same??? *evil grin*
ME: Ooookaaayyyy….. but …. the chair in TAB was a product of Sherlock’s mind, isn’t it??? How could he probably appear in Sherlock’s real life???? *big question-y eyes*
ARWEL: Yeeaahhh…that’s the great question isn’t it???
ME: Indeed!! It is!!!
ARWEL: Oh… I guess Sherlock just remembered him in TAB….probably he saw it in a charity shop or something and after 221b burned down he just went there and bought it for John….. don’t you think?? *wink*
ME: Welllllll….dunno….
*he laughing*
(please be aware, that I recount all this from my memory and therefore bring it into my own words. I have no records, so this is not word for word what the people in question actually said!! I try to word the main essence of the sometimes rather ridicilous long monologues *eyeroll* :-)))
Okay, so let’s share a magic trick. I bet we all know it already, but some may don’t. I got the photoshoot in 1540×2000 which is not UHQ but still better resolution than what we get to see on the slideshow of Interview Magazine site.
Right click on the picture. Inspect code source (I hope it is how it’s call in english) and right-click on the picture link. Choose “open in new tab”. Now change the name of the picture. First one is called “opener2-769×1000.jpg” and of course it is only this size. Just remove the size to get this : “opener2.jpg” and you’ll get full size picture.
