katikatThis audio commentary was with Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Sue Vertue and Russell Tovey - and it was kinda boring. Maybe because I'm not a fan of Russell's, he doesn't appeal to me in any way, not as an actor and not his parts. I would've very much preferred an audio commentary to The Reichenbach Fall with Andrew Scott. Such an opportunity missed :(
-- Every episode takes 4 weeks to shoot! Wow!
-- The actor playing the culprit played Little John in Michael Praed's Robin Hood series. I wouldn't have recognized him!
-- They talked about how ugly John's green coat was, the one he wore in the cemetery. And I agree. It was hideous and it made him look really fat - which he isn't! - because he was all squeezed in it.
-- They talked about Doyle's stories a LOT. They are huge fans. But they also said that there would be no Sherlock tie-ins. Ever. They want people to go back and read Doyle's Holmes, if they want to.
-- But the best part was when they talked about Rupert Graves aka Lestrade. How he just returned from filming Death in Paradise so they had to explain his tan. And they talked about how they wanted to keep switching the detectives Sherlock worked with but then they realized they preferred a real team at the station, that Sherlock would always look for cases overseen by Lestrade - and that Lestrade knew that Sherlock needed a "handler". LOL! That was priceless!
Other than that, it was really boring. The first commentary with Benedict Cumberbatch and Lara Pulver was much better because they talked about their characters, about filming the scenes. Russell Tovey had nothing to say about his part or the filming - when Mark Gatiss asked him outright about how he approached his part, he completely blanked out. Eh.
