Withdrawn but alive.

I am not stupid. I might come across as stupid. That’s nothing to do with academic qualifications. I think there’s a difference between intelligence and knowledge. There are plenty of people with letters after their names who only know figures and dates. It’s possible to know a lot of facts but not know anything at all.

It’s extraordinary. We made it with confidence and it’s sort of grown and considering we only have six episodes - it was shock to all of us.

And we loved doing it and I guess the expectations are higher so we have to keep working harder, that’s a really nice gauntlet to have thrown down for all of us, the production team the writers and the actors.

So we’ll develop and keep on giving it our best effort. It’s a good thing in that sense.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

NEVER play a word association game with Benedict Cumberbatch! The man is the living Oxford Dictionary. However, get him at two in the morning and needing a sugar fix and you can beat him.

Has anyone suggested that Sherlock by the graveside might actually be a ghost?!

I think it’s his comfort blanket. He may even sleep with it.
