ep2 blazer, isn’t it?

Yep. Earrings, too.

Back wearing the horns then.

It’s nice to see her upbeat about being a villain. Though this particular pic may not be recent. But her hair looks more like S4 hair here (curls), not the straight helmet do?

Last day…

… and the curls are back.

Also…, I wonder, who’s birthday it is today?

… birthday garlands and birthday hats?

… And finally, is there a dress code for Claire Pritchard’s make up design team?

Striped shirts, and long sleeves in July?

Oh, wait, there isn’t!

Although they look as if they tend to dress alike:

That was yesteday night, by the way.

So…, are we possibly fooled again?

Because this picture was taken back in June:

… hmmm…

Brilliant observation. I have no idea how many make-up trailers they have, but this is yesterday’s pic of Benedict’s birthday decorations. Same lamp, same white shelf to the right of mirror - but completely different decorations. Smoke and mirrors, if you ask me. ;)

A Pinewood Studios ID badge for Tredegar House filming?

You all are so clever. I suppose we can’t know for sure, but it does look a wee bit suspicious. I expect Mary to be the ‘main baddie’ of S4, so a big confrontation at the end of E3 would make sense, even if she is absent for much of E2. But I’m fine with being wrong if it means she’s gone earlier.

Last day ever?

JOHN: Bit different from my day.

STAMFORD: You’ve no idea.

The very first thing John Watson says once he’s in the same room as Sherlock Holmes is “bit different from my day” to which Mike Stamford replies “you’ve no idea.” To have John Watson - this incredibly iconic character that has permeated our culture for 130 years - explicitly say that this Barts lab, this set-up, this adaptation, is different from the old framework of adaptations whilst standing in the presence of his partner, Sherlock Holmes, is remarkable. Then Stamford sneaks in almost an aside to the viewer: you’ve no idea. You’ve no idea what’s about to hit you. You’ve no idea how different this will be from what you’ve come to expect.

love it

Hmmm. I wonder what they’re going to show that will make the internet “explode”? I rather suspect we’ll see the happy family and/or dog-replaces-John angle.

Drawing and photos from today’s #setlock at Lower Machen. Since it’s a private property, there is no public access, meaning I couldn’t see much of what was going on and didn’t spot any of the cast (not surprising, after yesterday’s night shoot), and I didn’t hang around for long.

There were lots of crew there, though, and several lighting vans and other vehicles bringing scaffolding and other equipment, considerably more than at Miskin. They spent all morning and most of the afternoon preparing things, either in the large barn at the front of the property near the gate, or around the mansion that’s further towards the back (the building with the many chimneys). I don’t know if any filming is going on in the latter building, but they had two caravans near it, and at one point a small crane was carted in the direction of the manor (or an elevatable platform, it was too far away to see clearly, perhaps for a camera or to set up lighting equipment).

Also, two black SUVs arrived, either bringing cast/crew or being used as props. In the large barn at the front (the one with the open door), there was hammering and welding in the morning, but it’s difficult to say whether these were activities related to filming or the general renovation of the buildings. I didn‘t stay around long, basically just long enough to finish the drawing at the gate, to then take a long hike through the surrounding countryside, exploring a disused railroad track which gave me distinct “Stand By Me” feels, and the old church at Lower Machen.

On my way back I passed the other side of the house, again at a distance because I stayed on the public footpath and there were hedgerows obscuring the view for the most part. The buildings, however, are impressive, despite its somewhat derelict state. Apart from several outbuildings that look like barns and stables, there is the actual manor house which could easily be made into a haunted house. Together, they make a striking ensemble.

The security guy at the gate (who recognised me from Miskin setlock) said that apparently the owner of the property is trying to restore it, which I hope he will, because it’s such an atmospheric, slightly creepy location with its crumbling walls and roofs and empty windows. I really look forward to seeing how they’re going to utilise the location in the show, particularly at night, and hope they’re not just shooting indoors but making the most of the exterior setting as well (although I wonder what the interior of the manor looks like). We’ll see in a few months, I guess.
