Hi :) I'm quite new to this fandom and I don't really get what's with the gay bar scene... Was it released and then deleted? Has anyone ever saw it? Is it going to be shown to us one day? 0_0 You probably know more than me on this :p (Also I heard a thing about an alternative pilot or wtv...?)
Ok. From the beginning then.
The gay bar scenes are the fandom’s headcanon, there is a strong belief there are some scenes which were shot in a gay bar during filming season 3 - when John and Sherlock went on a pub crawl during John’s stag night. Nobody saw them though and they were not released anywhere.
During setlock for series 3 there was one pic of Martin Freeman that led to an assumption that they were going to make a gay bar scene:
It was not setlock, however but rather a sort of tease. You can read more here
Also, there was a whole speculation about how some scenes from the pub crawl are visually suggesting bisexuality, you have a comprehensive descritpion of this here.
Now about the Pilot, if you haven’t watched it yet, go and do it now. It’s an absolute must :-)
Watch online: Unaired Sherlock Pilot
It was the never aired, first version of A Study in Pink to be shown to the BBC before they decided to do it. And it’s hella gay.
Ben's body glowed up from Sherlock to Dr. Strange
anyone else remember when a fan took a photo w/ ben c at a restaurant and it turns out ben was waiting for martin and ben’s shirt was so open his cleavage was practically blinding? i’m still not over that tbh

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: You mean?
John: Yes.
Sherlock: Oh.
