I’ve seen people talk about how the delayed action stabbings are a metaphor for Sherlock realizing he’s in love when its too late, but can we talk about what happens in those cases? Both times, the person is stabbed and nearly dies from it, but before they can John Watson swoops in to save them from bleeding out. 

He’ll do the same for Sherlock too.

Doing the drunk stuff was lovely, says Freeman, ‘but I regret there was one bit of that drunk stuff that was missing. There was the gay club scene. We were absolutely mullered in the gay club – lots of topless men going past, and us just going ‘Why are we here?’

Cumberbatch chimed in, stating how Sherlock felt about the situation: ‘I had no idea as to why they didn’t have their clothes on, and then it dawned and my grounding shook.’
