* [[Troubled Production]]: The first series had [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1297023/Sherlocks-got-sexy-With-nicotine-papers-instead-pipe-taxis-replacing-hansom-cabs-new-TV-Holmes-21st-century-hero.html quite a few problems going for it,] which started with the fact that it was being filmed during one of the coldest winters in the UK in nearly 30 years. This led to Benedict Cumberbatch catching a very dangerous case of pneumonia, and Martin Freeman severely hurting his wrist after slipping on an icy step coming out of his trailer.

* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** [[Matt Smith]] auditioned to play John, but was turned down for being more of a Sherlock (they also kind of hinted that he might have been Sherlock, except they were already set on giving the part to Benedict).

Considering the actions Sherlock is [[Kick the Dog|capable and willing to do]] in the series, this could ironically enough be a way of making him [[Stepford Smiler|less creepy]].
