With casting Rupert it was like if Sherlock wasn’t around it would sort of be his show. He’s the best detective Scotland Yard’s got – that’s what Sherlock says about him in the original stories, so to get away from this sort of more ratty faced and gnarky Lestrade it was about trying to do something different with it.

And aren’t we glad they did! 🙂
sherlock does that thing, that thing i know so well because i live it, that fishing for reassurance that people still care about you, the ‘well you’re hardly gonna need me around now you’ve got a real baby on the way’ because someone was supposed to go, ‘don’t be silly, of COURSE we still need you, and want you, because we like having you around, we love you’ but no one says that … no one fucking does
