Sherlock star Mark Gatiss on The Final Problem: ‘It had such a finale feel to it’

The star and co-creator of Sherlock joins fellow cast members and his co-creator Steven Moffat to talk about the root of the Baker Street detective’s heroism, the enduring evil of Moriarty and the rumours that the show won’t continue on. Sherlock, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the great detective and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson, recently finished its fourth series on the BBC.

[@t.p.1942]

Thank you! Season 4 is perfect, I loved it. Sherlock is really a great show.

[@IsItScary7]

So I wanna thank Sue Vertue from the bottom of my heart for the show.

[@bitsnthings]

SUE VERTUE WAS SO PRECIOUS WHEN STEVEN WAS WAXING LYRICAL POETRY ABOUT HER AHHHH

[@TheSingingBUn]

I am so glad to hear this, this is giving me some closure. thank you friend.

[@marisela9927]

POR FAVOR QUE HAYA MÁS EPISODIOS, MÁS CAPÍTULOS, NO PODEMOS DEJAR DE TENER UNA SERIE TAN MAGNIFICA, LLENA DE BUENOS ESCENARIOS, DE EXCELENTE ARGUMENTO, DE UNA GRAN ACTUACIÓN DE SUS ACTORES, DE MENTES TAN BRILLANTES QUE NOS MOTIVAN A UTILIZAR EL CEREBRO

The volume is incredibly low on this video.

14:25 It sounds like he's going to murder her husband And nobody knows if he's joking

[@pinklavender12]

I do quite love The Final Problem tho. Especially Eurus as being the smartest of the 3 and their lil sister. Incredible how Sherlock was able to predict John's behavior and all, but Eurus being able to predict Sherlock. She's entirely on a different level. If there'd be season 5, I'd love to see more of the dynamics between Mycroft, Sherlock and Eurus.

Thanks for your comments!

pinklavender12 redbeard rly got me

[@jacobje00]

Too bad the sound is so soft. Nice interview :)

[@peterxyz3541]

As much as I'm grateful for his channel and Rd CD-ROM upload, i must suggest: MAKE THE VOLUME LOUDER, please!!! It plays very quiet on phone! One can turn down the volume; but, can NOT turn up the phone.

[@jennyms1998]

I'm on my PC and I turned up the volume all the way to 70 (its usually on 12)until I could hear anything at all so its not just a phone problem

[@peterxyz3541]

JennyM1998 thanks for confirming!

[@saurora2869]

I'd watch two times just so i could stars at Andrew the whole time

[@declanjohn8517]

Both Sue and Sian had itchy elbows they kept scratching. Wonder if they were both leaning on the same sticky table earlier whilst eating lunch?

[@TheDharr]

I do love Gatiss, Moffat not so much. They need to bring it back to solving crimes, i'm growing tired of where Sherlock is going now. The character of Mary was completely dull, not to mention Sherlock's sister. Sherlock is becoming tedious, shame because the first two series were excellent.

[@Bacbi]

they made euros way to powerful, we are supposed to believe that she essentially kilgraved moriarty in 5 minutes with just talking. I can suspend my disbelief sometimes, like Hannibal using almost a year to guide Will where he wants him. Or while it's not realistic that he managed to get miriam think chilton was the ripper. They use time and alot of drugs in her system to make it plausible. But euros literally became female kilgrave but without any powers

[@sell8789]

How many episodes did Hannibal have by season? Maybe if they had more time, it would be more plausible. In my view Eurus was a Mentalist. It simply hypnotized the person and that was it.

[@sherlocknothelock]

yes, I hated the way they retconned Moriarty, especially for a character not even from the books introduced in the last episode. Moriarty was Sherlock's equal, and actually cunning and interesting, but Eurus was so pathetic she cowardly killed people for show but stopped being evil from one brotherly hug. the resolution was so stupid that it was gross lol

[@TheDharr]

Sherlock really has gone downhill for me, it started in season 3. It pains me to say it but Moffat and Gatiss really have gone off the deep end and disappeared up their own asses.

[@jennyms1998]

sadly, I have to agree. Watching this interview is physically painful. I love all of them so much and Sian Brooke is a very skilled actress but this season's plot is just so disappointingly terrible and I feel so sorry for that

[@xfrozn]

I quite enjoyed season 4, especially the scene where John breaks down in Baker Street. The Final Problem though, was incredibly bizarre. I also think that there were some enjoyable parts of season 3, especially the best man speech and John meeting Sherlock again

[@Nomoredrama2000]

What an embarrassment they all are. They develop a piss poor fourth series that deals with neither real consequences or social issues and delves into the complete nonsensical, illogical ludicrous fantasy. What's worse is they don't even want to address the writing problems, or apologise for how much they've hurt fans. It'll be laughable if it wasn't so serious.
