“Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes will be a bit less rude. “Sherlock is a little more polished,” Moffat said. “He operates like a Victorian gentleman instead of a posh, rude man. He’s a lot less brattish.”
‘Sherlock’ Victorian-Set Special Remains Shrouded In Mystery After Q&A – TCA
Of his star Benedict Cumberbatch, Moffat said, “I think the population of the earth is going to have to increase before Benedict gets more famous.”
Speaking thereof, Cumberbatch is starring in Hamlet for a 12-week run at the Barbican theater, a run that reportedly sold out in minutes last August, and did not attend today’s Q&A, but sent a video answering what he anticipated would be the questions he would have been asked.
For instance: Now that you’re a big movie star, why do you do a TV show? “Duh,” he responded pre-emptively. Is Moriarty going to be in the special? “No comment.” After the special, will the series remain in Victorian era? “No comment.”
To questions as to how they will continue to gadget-up Sherlock in an era without mobile devices and the internet, he responded, “Ear trumpets and no comment.”
“Goobye,” he said in conclusion.
Sherlock will continue while stars are committed to the show, says Moffat
What Moffat could say was that his leads enjoyed doing a period Sherlock, but one actor seemed to like it more than the others.
“By the end, Martin was ready to go back to the more acerbic version, but I think Benedict really enjoyed being Victorian Holmes. He was saying halfway through: ‘Let’s always do this. I quite like it,’” said Moffat.
