no-one asked but here’s the plan:

gonna get these printed as business cards that i can scatter when someone talks to me about Sherlock, just as i disappear in my cloud of smoke

Yeah they have a long-term strategy, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. They- they plan it out for years. So they’re um, they don’t just come up with the ideas quickly and go, “Oh! We’ll do this.” They knew, I think, really, from series 1 -and 2-, they planned the whole series out.

This is the face of someone who knows he’s going into the basement after today’s interview on The One Show… (x)

“Yeah, we’re not gonna do [Sherlock] ehm… (*) for another couple of years, I think.”

(*) Fuck. I said “we”.

Well, someone needs to keep Steve Thompson company. Also … is basement maintenance the line item that keeps hogging the show budget?

Had an hour with him, only about 10 of us, and holey moley what a treat. He is intelligent and well spoken, but very patient with allowing others to talk. He reiterated that the ENTIRE pool scene was not meant to be shot, only to be used as audition material, was written very quickly by Steven, but they liked it so much they shot it and fit it in.

He’s doing Hamlet onstage currently and expects it will be filmed by the National Theater and shown. When asked what part he’d like to play, he said a romantic comedy, as he hasn’t done one, and “ the longer I live the more I become convinced that everything is about love.” He was also quite philosophical about emotions, that you have to experience your dark side to experience your light, and that “all of the world is like that, two sides of a coin, not separate.”
