@TheEnglishFlower64 Yup. A trial run for a network to get the thumbs up for an investment to start the actual show and put it on the telly. The pilot just shows off the main idea of where the show will go, it's plot, the characters, ect. That's why most of them are unaired and just featured somewhere on the DVD collection.
Oh! Nevermind. This is a pilot, a trial episode, so obviously some of the scenes are different. Sherlock is a bit more human in this version, I kind of like it, though I can see why they went with the smartly edited, cold and calculating approach.
@cecita26oc This is the pilot, not the first episode. The BBC wanted a pilot first. When the pilot got good reviews Moffat and Gatiss were okay-ed for the entire series. Networks don't want to invest in something that will tank, so they ask for pilots first to see what the writers and producers have in mind, before choosing to commission (or not) the eventual series.
Ah, so THIS is the unaired pilot. I must admit, I do like this one, but the way they designed 221B when they re-shot it does make it look better. The actors are great in anything, to be honest. I do like Benedict's shirt in the scene where he asks John to send a text :) I approve.
Guys im the new one and i start to see all episodes from Sherlock!! Can anyone tell me The "Pilot" episode when must see it? Before Season 1 or after??
The direction in the pilot was draggy and Sherlock's attitude wasn't nearly as arrogant as he was when they reshot this as a 90 minute version with a new director and DP. Made such a difference.
So I was just listening to this while doing my homework and all I hear is, "This man! He got me off a murder charge." Followed by, "So you don't have a boyfriend, then?" XD Awesome.
@FrenchieLeToast Oh No! I found it's weirdly funny when you only listening to this video. I swear I didn't mean to do that!! XD (can't help laughing now)
he's so POLITEEEEEEEEEEEEE hahha i love it. i love that they redid it cause i could never imagine our sherlock acting like that. bennny looks hot as hell though.
I wonder who did the light and appartment changes, after this pilot the whole make up of the show got darker, it is quite different, though i admit to liking it more in the series
as much as I love them in normal Sherlock, the pilot made Benny and Martin look like TOTAL babes. Just sayin. Something about the hair, or the lighting. It's just sexy.
0:26 my cat looks at me like that. I now call him Sherlock, and my other cat Moriarty. When they fight I go, "aww look, they're playing reichenbach again!"
@TAYROARS sherlock looks a lot nicer, human. and the lighting is brighter and pinkish, a bit cheerful. i personally enjoyed sherlock going from a no-friend person to gradually building few, but very deep connections with ppl like Watson, Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade.
I personally haven't seen their first pilot so I don't know how much is different (plot/acting wise).
These are the only scenes I've seen but yeah - Sherlock seems nicer or I don't know, more considerate. He certainly smiled more and he actually said 'please'.
Comparing this to the official episode there's just this weird cheap haze over it. Not that that's bad; I just appreciate their newer polished episode :)
wait, how come it looks different from the actual first episode on netflix? the colors, the design, the hair, everything. i thought the first episode was synonymous with the pilot.
@MushyAlchemist actually, the pilot was shot, accepted, and then redone for airing, so not the same that you got on broadcast sadly (broadcast one was better too, still better than most shows we get on telly now)
If you look closely at the city, and if you've seen the version with Robert Downey Jr, you'll see the building where Robert jumped out to escape murder.
Whoa, this is so different from the other (newer?) version... never seen this one before. Whoa. It was smart of them to make the change, though, making Sherlock a bit less... human. Wow. And did you notice Benedict's hair is kinda reddish? :P Less dye here.
I think that the reason why they didn't air this episode and made loads of changes, was because, to me, Sherlock was a little bit nicer and more human. I LOVE his face in the taxi when John gives him a compliment :D :D
@Alizastack Why did he say that? sorry i haven't seen some episodes (don't get mad Please) is he was Joking or Sherlock in this series is really Bi? Cx
@333br it's cos he's not really interested (or hasnt been before) in either gender, but he wanted to make sure John did want to get the wrong idea, although i think most of us agree that it would benefit us if they did 'get the wrong idea' if you get me ;)
errr, I admit it's a bit strange to put those two videos here as responses to this video..., but they really need some attention. They are my latest Sherlock fanvids for slash fans. I hope you'll like them. :) Happy holidays!!
