Indeed, very interesting and funny. And a lot of things I didn't know.

I didn't get it fully what they cut. Was there a bathroom scene shot?

That was great. Love to hear their voices and they answer quite a few questions that linger on the forum here.

The thing hey cut out was Magnussen going for a swim and changing in their presence because he just saw them as his property.

Ah yes this I got. I thought there was something about Sherlock and Janine when they told they don't want to imagine if he is a virgin or not. Was bit hard sometimes to figure everything out between the laughter.

Even though I've watched HLV a few times I completely missed the connection to 'M' and Bond in Mycrofts 'as my collegue is fond of remarking; this country sometimes needs a blunt instrument'.

Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed hearing them speak in depth about the series.

Thank you for this; it's delightful listening to such talented people talking about something they are so passionately involved in.

Of course, I don't actually believe them when it comes to do with anything relating to plotlines, because by this point they know that we know that they will lie to us in order to reserve all the surprises in the next series, and the one after that.

But it's fun listening to them, and since telling us the 'truth' would involve huge spoilers I'm happy for them to keep on lying to us...

Well I liked it, that they explained, why they made Sherlock, to not recognize so many things.

Btw they said Janine was like, if we both end up alone, I got a cottage, that you paid for. I tried to get this when rewatching again yesterday, but I didn't. Was it subtext or sth.?

From what I remember them saying it was a bit of dialogue that was dropped.

Wonderful interview, quite insightful, loved it!
And I am very happy to hear they are already about to start working on the next series.

They explained, that he didn't see through Mary, as he liked her. That the feelings GOT in the way.
They also said, Sherlock HAS feelings, he just has decided to ignore them and Mycroft and him having the mantra to not have feelings, but it doesn't work anymore for Sherlock.
