Transition words & phrases

Superb. Suicide as street theatre murder by a corpse.

To the morgue. There’s not a moment to loose. Which one can so rarely say of a morgue.

Not at all. My dear, I will be hungry later.

Holmes, one more thing. Tweeds, in a morgue?

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

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.

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

Are they excited by… are they more excited about Moriarty coming back, the Victorian

I know nothing of the social media response because I only got to see it last night so

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?

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

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

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

that he was there to represent the patriarchy. With his 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?

I mean, Mycroft was originally described in the books as being a large-

I think the exact words were “fatty, fat man”.

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?

Because everyone is like “Yup, that is… yeah.”

I quite like that though because in the modern version he’s always blind to her.

Like the fact that he’s blind to this girl dressed up as a boy. I loved that. I think

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.

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

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

I mean, I don’t think my feelings were quite as harsh but I can see where you’re coming

Personally though, I am canonically choosing to you know, believe that modern day Sherlock

is just an imagination of actual 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.

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

the enjoyment of victorian England to stay for longer before we saw modern day. I almost

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
