“lol Arthur Conan Doyle clearly didn’t know anything about drugs. Sherlock Holmes did cocaine but it calmed him down. That’s not how cocaine works!”

There are two options: Arthur Conan Doyle had never met someone addicted to cocaine or he met some with ADHD who was addicted to cocaine

The Mofftiss Talk in Cambridge!

Gonna list all the important things I can remember:

  • If they were to bring Irene Adler back properly, they would need the storyline to be something incredible and worthy of her.
  • They’re aware that they, as people, can do so much more to improve representation, but they can’t just throw it all in randomly!
  • They believe it’s not true that all they do is have men talk down to women and murder women in Sherlock - case in point is Mrs Hudson. Moffat said “Mrs Hudson is alive and well… Mycroft tried to talk down to her and he got a big telling off!” Also Irene, for obvious reasons.
  • A follow up to that is they said if you don’t like being talked down to and don’t like murder, then don’t watch Sherlock. Because it’s about a patronising man that solves murders. Everyone applauded that.
  • Mark loves The Red-Headed League and has always wanted to modernise the story. It’s one of his favourites. Moffat isn’t sure why.
  • Someone in the audience asked them if they knew that Sherlock and John’s nicknames on Chinese web forums were “Curly woo” and “Peanut” and what would Mycroft’s be?
  • Mark said “I don’t know Chinese.”
  • The girl replied with “well it’s a good thing that ‘peanut’ is an English word” and the entire room DIED.
  • Eventually Mark settled on Mycroft being nicknamed “Slush Puppy” for those forums.
  • Mark didn’t write Mycroft for himself to play. He had some failed audition (he was softly spoken and hard to hear, so I didn’t quite catch the beginning of that story), but Steve Thompson told him that the voice he used for that part would be great for Mycroft. So here we are.
  • In terms of future episodes, they would love to do a series 5, but scheduling for it is super hard because of how busy Benedict and Martin are, but it’s not off the table, it seems!
  • Mark’s favourite episode to write with Steven was The Final Problem.
  • When asked why they didn’t bring back Irene Adler as a love interest for Sherlock, they gently reminded the girl in the audience that Sherlock was never a love story and never will be, but Sherlock texting a woman is a Big Deal anyway.
  • They told us it was Tom Baker’s birthday today.
  • I didn’t get to ask my question in front of everyone, but when I met Mark afterwards I asked him then. Read about that here.
  • Mark Gatiss is softly spoken and Steven Moffat is a loveable grandad and you can’t tell me otherwise

I think it's terrible how Victorian readers probably lay in bed, happily thinking about what their blorbo was up to rn, and then in 1893 they opened the Strand Magazine to "The Final Problem" only to discover that Mr Sherlock Holmes had actually already died in 1891. What would you do

BAMF Dr. Watson. Three years, I waited for this moment for over three years. No-one can even remotely understand how much this scene meant for me.

Doctor John H Watson, consulting BADASS.

May I add in something here? I think you may enjoy knowing this if you do not already.

What you saw right there was Captain John H. Watson, FNF, MD, Retired.

I’ve worked with military doctors. Doctors do bark out orders that they expect to be obeyed.

What you saw here was a commanding officer, a Captain, give a command.

While the doctor in John Watson can and has barked out orders we have not seen him give a command before.

This scene was pure Captain John H. Waston, FNF. When an officer gives a command to one of lesser rank he does not expect it to be obeyed; he knows it will be obeyed. There is no question of “if”. That does not exist in the military.

The soldier hesitated at first because John barked at him to “Call the ambulance, now! as Dr. John Watson.

When the soldier did not move to comply then Dr.John Watson switched gears right into Captain John Watson and he issued a command. The solider knew the difference immediately. He obeyed Captain Watson without hesitation.

John remained Captain Watson when he addressed Sherlock as "nurse”. That clearly startled Sherlock. When John became Captain Watson he remained within military protocol and addressed Sherlock in a military manner which is simple SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).

It was also interesting to see Sherlock startled. Evidently he has not seen a lot of Captain Watson either.

Martin did a perfect turn here in this scene. He did not simply become louder, or more insistent. He became commanding.

Well done!

And I absolutely agree with you! John Watson is a complete badass. However when he became military he was Captain John H. Watson, Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers and he was then Captain Badass!
