Benedict Cumberbatch delivering the same line as two different characters.
Sherlock Holmes
Once you rule out the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true.
Miss Marple Martin Crieff
But the thing is, we’ve taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that’s left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact.
….and no WAY would John Finnemore have done that because Ben came to record the second series AFTER Sherlock series one :)
I decided early on there would be no mention of the S word, or indeed the H word, still less the ‘E, MDW’ phrase. But that didn’t mean there couldn’t be, maybe, a couple of sly references… Benedict was an incredibly good sport about it all, especially given the audience was full of Sherlock fans. Though he did give me quite a look at the first read-through when we got to ‘Wow, Skip! You’re just like Miss Marple!’ -John Finnemore
Exactly.
