"BBC Sherlock" articles & other miscellany

Okay, this website may have shown up somewhere here before, but i found it today and thought it had a lot of great information on costumes and props.

Just posted today -- a couple dozen behind-the-scenes photos (from all seasons to date).  Note:  If you mouse-over a photo, you'll get the caption.

The ones with the Sherlock masks were downright freaky! And some of the captions are pretty cute.

[Carol the Dabbler]

One of the captions was actually helpful -- I had no idea that was Arwel Jones (he was much furrier last time I saw him).

There is a nice (even if not bringing anything new) article here

Moffat, who has a puckish sense of humor, took the same "Sherlock" characters from contemporary London back in time into the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle universe. "It's a game of variations," he said. Each season, he always knows "clearly what stories we're doing and where each episode will go, what the shattering, emotionally draining cliffhangers will be. I have to build up the faint illusion of hope that we might not be so evil as to sucker punch you into emotional devastation." [LAUGHS]

 

I especially like this one:

 

Why cast Cumberbatch? "We were never in doubt about casting Benedict," said Moffat. Added Vertue: "Thing is, he became so good-looking once he was playing Sherlock." 
"It's about fame," said Moffat. "When we first cast Benedict as Sherlock Holmes, there was a slight tremor, he’s quite good-looking, but he's not stunning. No one particularly disagreed, including Benedict! And then he caught on and he put his swagger on. I remember watching on a monitor and saying to Martin, 'What happened? He’s a matinee idol. Where did that come from?' Look at Benedict in the series, he just gets more and more handsome!

A huuuuge gallery of setlock pictures, official and not, also from the studio. I think I haven't seen more than half of them.

For long dark evenings when you have nothing else to do - it's over 3 000 photos.

[Arcadia]

Wow, you're not kidding. Thanks, JP.

 

It's always amazing to me how different BC appears once he's got that coat on....

Interesting little article today...

In modern London, how much would it actually cost to live in the layout of Sherlock's flat?

Now THAT is devotion........

It's being labelled as 'negative internet' in my place.

I'm sure it's not that sort and just stupid filter. They ban Reddit FFS.

[Arcadia]

"Negative internet?"

[Van Buren Supernova]

It says you have to think positive.. bla bla bla..

Something like lecturing as if you are watching porn. XD Pffff...

Who has dirty mind???

[Arcadia]

It's a video of people dancing! Good grief.........

[Van Buren Supernova]

Precisely!! And I am very sure I could get to porn if I wanted to. Those idiots..

[Arcadia]

Maybe it's the website (Vimeo) they're blocking ... since a lot of "unofficial" videos seem to show up there.

 

I notice there's several versions on You Tube where they've been forced to remove the soundtrack, such as here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqlFjX3lpz0

 

Then here's an unofficial version filmed from a different angle and without the subtitles, but it has the soundtrack ....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s4OKqJ0v3Y

[Van Buren Supernova]

Thanks.. will check it out but.. not sure when. :p

[J.P.]

My first thought on this video was: the Russian Fandom puts the Chinese to shame. :D Until there is a hidden commercial agenda behind it all.

[Arcadia]

Ooooh, don't let the Chinese fandom hear you say that, next thing you know there will be a dance mob the size of ... well, China.

 

Wait .... DO let them hear that! That's something I'd like to see! :d
