TST Screening

All these quotes:

I adore [Martin]. Well, he’s quite grumpy, but he’s adorable as well – he’s direct and nice and great fun to be with even when he’s being grumpy because then it’s just fun to wind him up!

[Benedict] has definitely brought something else, like you said, it’s over a century old that part and there have been so many incarnations of it but Benedict, yeah, he’s… he has something special about his incarnation without question, yeah.

[Martin]’s just one of the sharpest men I’ve ever met. It can be at his own expense or someone else’s, it’s always done with a view to make the working day a little bit happier 

I: Who do you look up to in the industry?

Martin’s very funny, so there’s a lot of space for Martin, but he does it very tactfully, he won’t do it when there’s a big moment for someone else, but I mean he is one of the funniest men you’ll ever meet, so that happens.

…I was very anxious about [the big scene] after lunch, very anxious, and actually Ben was very good. He took me aside, and calmed me down. He just said, you know, “Take a deep breath,” sort of thing. So, I did and sort of allowed the scene to come back.

“Sugarnut“

I applaud Jack, he gave it a good go. At least he’s a similar physical type to Benedict: tall, good-looking and mysterious.

If you’re beautiful and a hunk and you’ve got great cheekbones you can probably get away with two dimensions.

I turned to them and said: “It’s gotta be [Martin]. He raises my game.

Wanda: Ben adores Martin as a person as well as an actor.

I suppose my first memory would be the audition process. I came in on my own, didn’t do very well, and then I came and read with Ben *sigh* and it went much better.

I think I can speak for Martin as well…

Because, ultimately, [Ben’s] the thing that it can’t go on without.

Occasionally I would look at Ben and then look at myself in the mirror, and go Thank God we’re finally playing Holmes and Watson instead of John and Sherlock.

But [the fight scene] was quite good fun because it was contained you know, it was just Ben and I. We sort of, we knew what we were doing.

Bonus:  

SDCC

Mark and Steven have just excelled themselves and that’s what keeps Martin and I coming back for more.

You know, both Martin and I have been lucky enough to work on sort of big budget Hollywood films

Well, I am in the back of a car with Martin and that’s pretty much it.

[Martin]’s working. he’s actually doing the show. he is, he is the only one of us that’s actually working right now.

It’s pretty cool and you know we work very hard and I adore [Martin] and he’s one of the funniest man on the planet, he’s so fast, we both really really love the show so it’s always fun getting the band back together and we have a really good time doing it and this series has been no exception… we always have this moment together where we read the script and ring each other… we have the moment, that communal moment between shooting and we’re going “Oh my God, this is so exciting“ we’re so lucky to be doing this. We have a lot of fun. We have a lot of fun.

EW Morning Live Interview

I think Ben and I… everyone involved in the show is acutely aware of how well written it is and how well produced it is… you know, when you have a show that’s well written, well shot, well scored, you know and you are lucky enough to have chemistry with the person that’s pretty cool.

Thank God we’re all busy, you know, Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss are busy, me and Ben are busy…

Me and Ben were sat down separately and they talked us through the Abominable Bride…

Martin smiling like this at the mention of Ben’s name:

Bonus: “That’s only cause he carries a picture around with him. He’s always doing that.“

SETLOCK (there are much more photos and gifs out there but I picked only very few)

Pics not mine, some of the gifs are, the rest belongs to @darlingbenny 

Sherlock: You’re going out tonight.

John: Yes, actually-

Sherlock: Your hair is combed, a subtle dab of gel, clearly used so that the wind won’t dishevel your hair. You’ve recently shaved, probably right before walking into the room, since there are clear signs of reddening around the lips, cheeks, and chin.

John: Sherlock-

Sherlock: You are nicely dressed, though thats saying something because you are always kept together, but this is different. You are wearing an expensive dress shirt, clearly just bought due to the fact you forgot to remove the tag. You’re also wearing a suit jacket, which you don’t wear often, you mostly wear jackets or coats. Your trousers are ironed, which means you went to a lot of trouble to look nice.

John: Yes, but-

Sherlock: *sniffing* You are wearing cologne, the one you only wear on a special occasion. Its a date, then.

John: Yes, okay, fine. But-

Sherlock: Vague smell of mouth wash. Don’t want to have bad breath. Extra precautions. Wow, she must be special.

John: *completely exasperated* I made reservations.

Sherlock: Obviously.

John: For us.

Sherlock:

Sherlock:

Sherlock:

Sherlock:

Sherlock:

Sherlock:

Sherlock: You mean?

John: Yes.

Sherlock: Oh.

Fun Fact: in one month (1/1/23), all Sherlock Holmes stories hit the public domain and the Conan Doyle Estate can't do shit! I say this for absolutely no reason but also congrats in advance to the happy couple.

how The Hounds of Baskerville should have gone

Anytime

Your go.

She's also wearing a suit!

the mary in john’s subconscious literally not shutting up about sherlock for even 1 second. what can we deduce about his heart? 

Which of your cast mates will have a co-starring role in your life?
