Because like, post mortem as in- As in dead people. That’s clever. Yeah. Extraordinary. Impossible. Superb. Suicide as street theatre murder by a corpse. Lestrade, you’re spoiling us. Watson, your hat and coat. Where are we going? To the morgue. There’s not a moment to loose. Which one can so rarely say of a morgue. And am I just to sit here? Not at all. My dear, I will be hungry later. Holmes, one more thing. Tweeds, in a morgue? Needs must when the devil drives Watson. Hello, I’m Luke Spillane and welcome to 221D Baker Street. Yes, we’re right next door to their flat for this very special Sherlock discussion show. Joining me for a canter for the ins and outs and “was that all in his mind palace?” of The Abominable Bride is BBC Sherlock France Forum founder, Helene Coleen and Thomas “Tomska” Ridgewell, YouTuber and comedian. Welcome both. Well, millions of people have seen this now in TV and cinemas around the world. Have you found there has been a certain response to it on the forums? Some people actually, so far have a good opinion on the episode so far as I have seen. Both on Twitter and Facebook and even on the forum because we have some members who are totally UK based, they were totally able to see the episode and comment on it. So far the answer is very good. Nice. Are they excited by… are they more excited about Moriarty coming back, the Victorian setting or? It was more the Victorian setting, yeah. Great. I know nothing of the social media response because I only got to see it last night so I’ve avoided Twitter the entire time. Great. I have just back it out. I have a Sherlock blog on my Tumblr and I’m just like “lalalalalala” What did we think of Holmes? A man out of his time, in his original Victorian setting? Did you enjoy it? I mean, it kind of goes without saying in that it obviously works. You know. Yeah, it transitioned really naturally. I think it just all fit in. You didn’t really have to change anything about the character. Honestly, Watson was a more interesting factor in terms of the difference between modern day and past because I love that they made Watson just a sexist. Like, you know. Like Sherlock the character is naturally above it because he’s just above all things man but Watson was just in keeping with the times. Like “Woman, why do you speak to me?, “Wife, make me tea.”. Like I think that was just a really interesting kind of plot device, that he was there to represent the patriarchy. With his moustache. Yeah. It’s a great moustache. The moustache was really better than on series 3. Which was a bit ridiculous. Also in this episode we got to see alternate versions of the some of our favourite characters. What did we think of that? What were some of you favourites? Technically they’re not alternate versions. Are they? They’re actual original versions. That’s true, that’s true. I mean, Mycroft was originally described in the books as being a large- I think the exact words were “fatty, fat man”. Arthur Conan Doyle’s original words. It was… I wasn’t expecting them to be this far but yeah it was actually fun and I really loved Molly as a man. She was really good. Are we supposed to believe that Sherlock wouldn’t notice that? Yeah. I don’t know. Like, of all things. Because everyone is like “Yup, that is… yeah.” And Sherlock is like “Huh?” I quite like that though because in the modern version he’s always blind to her. Yeah, I guess that’s very fair. Like the fact that he’s blind to this girl dressed up as a boy. I loved that. I think it was really sweet. Yeah, I guess. Because in the modern version he doesn’t even acknowledge her as a woman. Just as a sexual being. In this he’s not even acknowledging her sex as well. Yeah. it worked really well. It was just very funny. Yeah. It was very Black Adder. Bob. So as it turns out this wasn’t really a stand alone special but it was all inside Sherlock’s mind palace. What did we think of the big twist? Did we enjoy it? What did we think? The episode started so well in Victorian era. Just having this in his imagination of his mind, well I kind of lost interest in what was going on after that because it was just a dream. I mean, I don’t think my feelings were quite as harsh but I can see where you’re coming from though. Personally though, I am canonically choosing to you know, believe that modern day Sherlock is just an imagination of actual Sherlock. Victorian Sherlock. This may not… we weren’t watching alternate Sherlock. We were watching Sherlock and he was just imagining what the future is like because he’s so smart. He’s exactly right. Great. Jet planes, everything. I’m canonically… any Sherlock I watch from this point onwards is cannon for me now. I think you made an interesting point in that… once I knew it was a mind palace I think flicking in between because quite… I kind of almost, like we were saying, wanted the indulgence and the enjoyment of victorian England to stay for longer before we saw modern day. I almost wish that it was a twist at the end. Well, in this episode we saw the return of Moriarty. In fact the whole episode turned out to be his return. Now you said that you were thrilled to see his return. You were happy then? I loved seeing him back? Always. Yup. Always. I love Andrew Scott. Overtime he come back to the series I’m really thrilled because he is… he is kind of the best Moriarty I’ve seen so far, so. What I love, what I love about the what they’ve done with the character Moriarty is the way that they’ve been able to keep him alive, keep Andrew Scott in the show is that he does live in Sherlock’s head now because… and I guess the whole idea behind that is he bested Sherlock, Sherlock has now made him this… he projects onto him. He’s made him this manifestation of all of his insecurities so whenever he’s downing himself it manifests itself as Moriarty and that’s awesome because it just means we can keep having Andrew Scott I hope. That’s great. And with that, did you enjoy seeing the waterfall confrontation? We finally saw the original Reichenbach. How exciting was that to see? Because personally that was one of my favourite scenes in the whole thing. Did you enjoy that? Yeah. Especially after when I saw that it was filming in the studio so it was actually very impressive when I saw the pictures of what the set was looking like. It would have looked better if it was at that moment he woke up instead of a bit before. Yeah, he jumps off and then he wakes up and he’s like “yeah, ok cool.” I think the craziness of it, it was a crazy scene. But also I thought there was kind of this tension. We’ve never just seen them just fight. Like you kind of just wanted them just to have a fight. I quite enjoyed the tension of both of them just hating each other but loving each other. I mean Sherlock resorts to name calling first. He resorts to calling him “short ass” and Moriarty does not like that. It’s obviously a very sore spot for Moriarty. But it’s just the noise he makes. [Hissing noise] It just got me. It’s great. At the heart of The Abominable Bride case was a good old fashioned ghost story which is very, very Victoriana I think. Different from what we’ve seen in modern Sherlock. In modern Sherlock the closest we’ve probably seen to that is in the Baskervilles episode, we kind of had that horror and almost “is this a fantasy”- Supernatural. Yeah, a supernatural element to it. Did we enjoy the horror aspect of this and the ghost side of it? Yeah, I think Mark is really a great when he actually writes that kind of thing. I think it’s one of his best qualities is to write horror episode like that. He does it very well on Doctor Who too. So I really enjoy those. I think like in The Hound of the Baskervilles, that sequence with the ghost and around the maze and in the grounds, like you really are going “What is going on here?”. I was so on the edge of my seat during that. It was so gripping and I didn’t know what was going to happen next. It was just nice to be so in the dark about… like you say. You worked it out. You’re clever than all of us Tom. But I was like “Is she a ghost? I’m confused. What s this?”. So I thought that whole sequence was very gripping. Yeah, I was interested in how they were doing it. There was part of me that was like “I’m really hoping it’ twins.”. Yeah, yes. It just felt very old-timey. It felt like what Watson’s writing was supposed to be in that it felt, you know, like a Penny Dreadful like “We’re in the maze and there’s a ghost and it’s all very spooky” and it felt like what… Sherlock is supposed to be from Watson’s perspective.
