1
This is going to shock people, isn't it, who think that they know they're Sherlock Holmes.
2
You are very, very different.
3
Thank you.
4
you don't smoke for a star I don't smoke no but I think you know he is an obsessive he is
5
exceptionally brilliant and charming
6
and I think there's a vast amount for fans of the
7
original kind of novel to enjoy the references from the two brilliant writers, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat who originated the idea of modernizing him,
8
have littered all three in fact episodes with detail which is directly transposed from the book.
9
So, and the basic premise to set up the relationship, the house, some of the other characters,
10
Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Hudson. Who else? Who else? Who else?
11
The Strahd.
12
Yeah.
13
So lots of them.
14
We're going to have to see a very short clip of it so people get some idea of what we're talking about.
15
It's a skull.
16
Friend of mine.
17
When I say friend.
18
What do you think then, Dr. Watson?
19
There's another bedroom upstairs if you've been needing two bedrooms.
20
Of course we'll be needing to.
21
oh don't worry there's all sorts around here mrs turner next door's got larry quips.
22
Bye.
23
Thank you.
24
Sherlock, the mess you've made.
25
Well as you can see it's quite funny and there is this running gag about two men sharing a house together.
26
Yeah.
27
Of course would not have occurred to Edwardians.
28
Um, but has to be dealt with that.
29
I suppose, yeah, I mean to be honest it never occurred to me until we were sort of in the making of it
30
and people were referring to the fact that there's this, you know, people have written books about whether Holmes and Watson are gay and what their relationship is.
31
So we sort of allude to that.
32
Uh, And it's quite dark, I mean, it's got some good dark aspects to it.
33
You are clearly, you've come back from the Afghanistan, as the original Watson had come back from the second Afghan war.
34
Yes.
35
But you've got post -traumatic stress syndrome, which certainly they didn't have in the 1880s.
36
They'd know that wasn't invented then.
37
And in the same way that the original books were all done, you know, were all written, so to speak, by Watson, it was all his diary entries and his version of the events of the cases. So,
38
now my Watson has been advised by his therapist to write a blog in order to get his post -traumatic Yeah, yeah.
39
-Stress us all out.
40
So, um, so I write up the cases and
41
so that's the way that we sort of are able to refer to them in the future.
42
And when you're, um, doing your Sherlock Holmes, Benedict, I mean, presumably you'd read a fair amount of Arthur Conan Doyle to prepare for it.
43
Yes, I did.
44
And I did read some during as well and I think
45
that was the safer thing to do rather than looking back to the brilliant Brett or Rathbone, um, or more recent Downey Jr. versions because,
46
because what we are doing is obviously bringing it into the 21st century and whilst those are superlative
47
portrayals of him and his Victorian guys, I needed to find something original as well as
48
the source material
49
and there's an awful lot of description about his his physical movement his his poise it
50
and and and this rather sort of abstracted ethereal
51
otherworldly quality to him which Cullen Doyle colours beautifully in the book
52
so it's a great template for an actor to use to go back to every now and again.
53
They're great stories to read.
54
They are great stories but he's a slightly scary man as well isn't he?
55
You say he's charming but there's something about him which is...
56
puts your feeling on the sociopathic.
57
He's slightly...
58
There is something very dangerous in his obsession and he takes both Watson
59
and him into a very dangerous realm of London where everything opens up into a war zone.
60
It is a battle and that is part of the attraction they have to each other.
61
I offer Watson a way back into life which is a little bit more interesting than his...
62
Yeah.
63
No military.
64
I was very interested in your role in this morning
65
because a lot of people still think of you really through the office, which is your great breakthrough.
66
uh.. uh.. role
67
and this is a very very this is this is a much graver darker kind of role i just wanted yeah
68
which must be attractive yeah it is i mean i think you know every actor that we speak to or hear of, wants to play sort of dark occasionally or play villains or whatever,
69
and even though Watson's obviously not a villain, he's, yeah, he's got a serious side to him.
70
And I'm, you know, I mean, to be honest, I've been playing that sort of thing on and off anyway.
71
It's just that this has kind of got thank God it's got a spotlight being shown on it.
72
I gather it was it was an absolute nightmare to make however.
73
It was a nightmare, it was cold.
74
It was a lot of fun to make, but hard work and very cold.
75
You got pneumonia didn't you?
76
Yeah I did, I did.
77
That proves, you know, it's a secondary infection, so it proves I was having too much time with the flu to really take care.
78
And it just sort of snowballed from there, but it didn't stop us and we genuinely did have a very, very good time making it.
79
There's a lot of Welsh crew and it was great fun to make it.
80
There's a lot of buzz in the papers already about this.
81
I get the sense it's going to be a great success, but which It's three relatively long episodes.
82
Do you think there's going to be more?
83
I hope so.
84
I hope so.
85
I really hope so.
86
As you said, there are so many stories.
87
This is the question of Jane Hunt and Ben Stevenson and the other grown -ups upstairs, but I really do hope so, and I hope audiences take to it this evening, and we'll see from there, really.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
