I was sent a script recently, and the opening scene was; Jessica, or maybe not Jessica, whatever her name was, rolls around in bed and stretches. She’s 35, and in brackets they had it say 8/10, close brackets. I closed the script, and didn’t read the rest of it. Because you cannot reduce a character, you cannot make them their attractability, you can’t number them and then claim you’ve written a multidimensional female character, or a male character. That is just not acceptable. […] And I think it’s very important to say ‘this is the reason I didn’t respond to, or didn’t read your script’, because that’s absolutely outrageous. You can’t do that.

so if s4 pre-production is looming, I wonder what Andrew is thinking, because he’s expressed that since TRF he’s never sure if he’s going to be involved or not, but then they call him like
hey Andrew, can you come back and make out with Ben on the roof
hey Andrew, can you come back so we can put you in a straight jacket in Sherlock’s mind
hey Andrew, can you come back and suck a gun on your knees and then wear a wedding dress
he’s probably the weirdest mix of excited/terrified about whatever they’re going to ask him to do in s4.
I hope they keep him around forever in flashback form, like a pervy kinky dark-side Force ghost.
Snerk.
They don’t scream, and shout out things, as has been completely exaggerated in the press … that really makes me angry – because that’s 100 per cent not true. That’s snobbery. And if someone did get over excited and shout something out – so what? Snobbery: my least favourite thing.
