I wanted to share that in the granada adaptation they added a fake phallic stone (more in detail in the link)

Here's a picture that show the stone wasn't there in real life.






 

Pride flag screenshots!

Also all those bed scenes are at the start of the series, the bed is never visible again and I really think they got a bigger one!
In The Master Blackmailer they are in a set of room that is probably Watson's (Holmes is bathing), but no bed in view.

The dialogue is priceless there.
Watson offers Holmes his room, but Holmes wants to sleep where Watson is! And there are heart-shapes in the wallpaper and a pot.

I wanted to create a thread similar to the Johnlock one, but specific to the granada adaptation (to discuss ABOUT it but not IF it is there).

To start I want to share the masterpost of the love and sex innuendo that I just finished compiling (here, obviously there is a bit of nsfw text to describe the metaphors for sex).
Some of the metaphors are less obvious, but some are really blatant and stock metaphors (for examples the mouth fading into a tunnel with a train going inside it), to the extent that I think they are obviously intended, which gives a higher chance for the less obvious ones to be intended as well.

Also, if you think they are together, when do you think they got together?
I think they got together right after The Devil's Foot, here some reasons:
- because Holmes saying he has never loved to Watson at the end of that episode would mean he hasn't confessed his feelings yet.
- in that episode Holmes makes a big change to his life, giving up drugs, which are according to some interpretations (like the director of TPLOSH's) representative of his not being happy because of homosexuality, so the drugs might go away once Holmes and Watson get to be happy together.
- It is the episode in which he calls Watson "John".
- I don't think they are together from the start because in the first series they don't seems quite so close and even Sherlock says that they didn't know each other so well at the time of the Geek Interpreter.
- I don't think we ever see Watson's bed again after that episode (and even from some episodes before), so it might be one for two people.
 

There are some lines I can't understand in the Granada adaptation, especially since I'm not English, so I both lack knowledge of some words and have a bias towards replacing them with words I already know.
Some in particular are background voices not in the transcripts that can be found online.
Now in particular I need help understanding what does the man off-screen shouts in The Blue Carbuncle a bit after 35:40, in the market.
It starts with "Where else can you -"

weren't we talking just yesterday about mary, the other one and the ring on the 4th right finger?

There, lol.

So, the whole family has been lying to Sherlock for three-ish decades???? About a lost sibling that not only mortally shot Sherlock, but then showed up for Christmas dinner???

Sherlock needs a new family.

There is no need for his family having lied to him.
Sibling is lost/presumed dead/kidnapped by aliens 30-35 years before, when Sherlock is 2 to 7 years old.
After some years the family might not talk about it much, they certainly don't bring it up now on a regular basis. Sherlock doesn't think about it because it's very painful, possibly the circumstances made it really traumatic. Possibly the family talks about it very little because Sherlock gets very hurt by talking about it.
Some ideas are that the dog was involved in loosing the sibling or a therapy dog after the sibling was lost, so redbeard merged with the other one memory.
Sherlock has no reason to suspect the sibling is alive so he never wonders somebody next to him might be the sibling, until something triggers him to suspect so which has not happened yet.
 

I've got a huge meta collecting all the evidence of Mary = The Other One for those interested here.
It's composed by a part that speculates if Sherlock has a sister called elizabeth and another that speculates on sherlock's sister being mary. Both part or only one could be true.

I had a theory since february that 4.3 was going to be called The Second Star, from The Second Stain, since there are many possible Peter Pan references, and today we got a ship with "☆ TUNNARA II" painted on.
☆ = STAR
II = SECOND
