Thinking back to the dark and strange days of March 2020, when Arwel was cheering us up by posting his behind-the-scenes Sherlock pictures on Instagram. This one in very particular.

as promised, here’s a brief write-up of what arwel said during his keynote at the depaul pop culture conference!

the pilot being remade like it was is extremely unusual for most television. also, he said that the design of the original 221B was supposed to be more victorian, with more references to previous adaptations. however, it became clear that what made sherlock excel really came out in the truly modern moments, so they updated 221b to have a more modern and lived-in feel

they switched out the wingback chair from the unaired pilot because it made over-the-shoulder shots basically impossible

he showed the coveted 221b floorplan but i don’t have the spatial brainpower to remake that lol

he also showed lots of bts pics and some raw footage of establishing shots filmed during series 3 which was sooo cool

there was a pre-production meeting specifically about what phone sherlock holmes would have. arwel said there was no way sherlock would have the newest iphone (derogatory), then moff made a face and pulled out...his brand new iphone.

multiple people questioned arwel’s choice of the iconic wallpaper! he said it was a win for him that it became so iconic :)

when making TAB’s 221b, they wanted it to be a victorian version of arwel’s 221b, not a rehash of previous victorian era 221bs. also, he pointed out how the kitchen became a study...painted scarlet ;)

john’s chair is actually janky as fuck, with broken springs and stuff, but martin freeman wont let anyone come near it to fix it!!!

fun easter eggs in molly’s flat - they decorated with some taxidermied animals to represent the presence of death in her life, but balanced that with some plants to symbolize life/growth, bc death isn’t her whole life

the production team actually got the same or less budget to work with for each subsequent season, and really had to stretch it to keep upping the quality!

he called sherrinford the “bond villain lair” lmfao

he’s about to start working on something new - another book adaptation, with a woman showrunner

the venue in TSOT actually has white walls, they painted them yellow for the episode

he mentioned people giving him too much credit for incidental easter eggs, ie kitty’s wall

he put a bunch of broken printers and shit in 221b because he thinks sherlock wouldnt bother throwing something broken away, just shove it aside and get another one

he talked about the elephant in the room thing, saying people misinterpreted him, but this time he said the elephant in the room came from an actor saying his work is so good that no one notices or something??? which was NOT his story before

one of his fave moments from making sherlock was when he first brought mofftiss into the 221b set and they couldnt stop touching everything

he said he wanted 221b to feel like “a den, a safe place to go on adventures from”

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! he said that everything from set is in bbc or hartswood storage bc “you never know!” but then he made an oh fuck face and hurried to say that this was NOT a confirmation of series 5, bc if he said that, “I’d be shot!”

#it was a great talk lots of q&a and fun little tidbits of info #some stuff that got me like :eyes: as well #sorry this is long but jeez i took a lot of notes okay #long post #i literally plopped myself right in the front row right in front of him #maybe two feet away lmao.#i was very normal but i think he knew i was on the level.#anyway i hope this is fun to read!!#arwel wyn jones
