BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Amanda Abbington interview: "Crooked House"

I don't think we have a general Amanda thread, do we? I'm sharing this interview, mainly about "Crooked House" and harassment issues, but she does talk about Sherlock too:

"Andrew [Scott]’s dead – Moriarty is definitely dead in it and he’s come back – and Andrew said you never leave Sherlock, there’s always an outside chance that you might come back in a flashback. So never say never but if they wanted to bring me back I would be there with my bags packed,"

Just read that interview today.
It's good, isn't it?
Love Amanda.

I would love to have seen it, but the Channel Five player doesn't seem to work well for me! It looked like a great cast too.

It's coming up isn't it, or have I got confused with different projects?
I'll miss all Xmas stuff with being away, anyway.
Ironically, had it been a Sherlock year...I would have been back in time!

Doh, I thought you meant Crooked House was good, and now realise you meant the interview! Yes, the film was aired on Sunday night. It's on the player for a week, but the player keeps playing up for me. I have seen the same adverts so many times, and then the picture goes, so I've only managed to see about the first twenty minutes, maybe, and no Amanda yet. She's also in a Netflix series "Safe", which also looks good (Harlan Coben) but hasn't aired yet.

Yeah it's Safe I was thinking of. May catch up on Crooked House sometime.

Is that the interview where she mentioned the dinner scene between John and Mary that was shot but never shown? Would've loved to see it.

No, not the same article, but I agree about the scene!

There's more about "Safe" here, and I've just realised that in the interview I posted, Amanda gives a bit of a spoiler by saying she was kissing Michael C. Hall! For some reason I thought she was playing his wife, but apparently not. Although maybe it's not a spoiler at all and we see that early on. (Or it's mind palace!)
