Watch the Full Sherlock Masterclass From the Edinburgh International Television Festival!
Co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss were both present, as was producer Sue Vertue and everyone’s favorite consulting criminal, Andrew Scott. While there a lot of last minute scheduling shifts surrounding this particular panel – at different points both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were slated to take part, but each had to drop out – the final product certainly sounded as though it was well worth the wait.
Luckily for those of us who are nowhere near Scotland, we can now watch this whole event ourselves. Thanks to the fantastic folks at the MGEITF, the full Sherlock Masterclass session is available to watch online. Other than the awesome Series 2 preview event in New York last spring – an easy victory in this category just by virtue of the fact that I was actually there – this is one of the more interesting panel Q&As with this group that I’ve seen.
Click through and take a look for yourself! Maybe you’ll be able to deduce something about those mysterious “three words” from Moffat and Gatiss’s facial expressions!
The group discusses a wide variety of topics of interest to all Sherlock fans, including the gap between UK and US transmission, whether we’ll ever see Scott’s Moriarty again, Lara Pulver’s rather shocking Irene Adler audition and their process for casting both Cumberbatch and Freeman. There’s a lot more – this panel clocked in at just over an hour in length, so there’s plenty to dig in to for everyone.
