SHERLOCK DVD commentaries

Episode One - Study in Pink.

Very nice commentary here that does what you want, ie: give you information on the show, how Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss, with Sue Venture got the show together and how they characterize this new Sherlock and John, changes they made vs the pilot.

Episode Three - The Great Game

Pretty much Mark Gatiss, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman faffing about, (and we were wet we were cold we almost DIED horror stories) Mark is urbane, warm and droll, Benedict is ALL OVER THE PLACE doing impersonations, being egged on by Martin 'Do Alan Rickman' while Martin engages Mark in some serious discussion over tone of show and adds such bon mots such as 'I was lit round - so I looked round.' Martin is naturally funny.

So look to episode one for content and episode three for some fun. :D Both are much better than some commentaries I've suffered through.

Word and Image (reprise)

In this ever changing world where mountains crumble, rivers change their courses, roads are deserted, rocks are buried, and old trees yield to young shoots,
it was nothing short of a miracle that this monument alone had survived the battering of a thousand years to be the living memory of the ancients.
I felt as if I were in the presence of the ancients themselves, and, forgetting all the troubles I had suffered on the road, rejoiced in the utter happiness of this joyful moment, not without tears in my eyes.
