01:00Young Sherlock stands before me now.
01:02I mean, what has this whole experience been like playing young Sherlock, taking on one
01:06of the most iconic roles, but also working with Guy Ritchie?
01:10Yeah, I mean, it really is surreal.
01:13I can hardly believe it.
01:15But I've always been a fan of Sherlock and been a fan of Guy.
01:17I don't know how I top this.
01:20I've loved every minute of it and I'm just kind of trying to soak it up.
01:24You're so great in this, but tell me, what is it like on a Guy Ritchie set?
01:28Because obviously people think he's intimidating, but everyone says on set, it's just so fun.
01:32It is.
01:33I mean, he is a little bit intimidating.
01:35You quite quickly realise that you will do almost anything to please him because you just
01:42trust him as well.
01:43You know that, you know, I'm a big fan of his work and you know he knows what he's doing.
01:46He's not shy of giving you multiple pages of dialogue with very little time to learn
01:51it, but if you could choose from the lines you've learned or the new lines he's given
01:54you with not much time to learn them, you'd always choose his because he somehow manages
01:57to improve everything he touches.
01:59And just finally, because I need to let you get on, your Uncle Joe's just there.
02:02I mean, we've got a nice little bit of beer all of these together and it's so lovely to
02:06see you.
02:06What was it like working with him as well?
02:07I loved every minute of it.
02:09He's not just Uncle Joe.
02:11He's an incredible actor, Joe Fiennes, and I'm so glad I managed to work with him after
02:17having had a little bit of time to kind of develop my acting skills and get a bit of
02:21experience behind me.
02:22So I think it came at the perfect time and I'm so grateful to have been able to work with
02:28him.
02:28Well, you're amazing.
02:28I'll see you guys pub.
02:29We'll lock in, right?
02:31I'll see you there.
02:31We'll lock in for the training.
02:32We've got work to do.
02:32We've got work to do.
02:33Thank you so much.
02:33Nice to meet you.
02:34Take care.
02:43You look so great.
02:45You're very comfortable.
02:45Listen, I just had a lovely chat with Hero and he was saying how much of an honour it
02:49was to get to work with his Uncle Joe.
02:52I mean, how proud are you and what was it like getting to work with Hero?
02:56Well, look, I've known Hero since I held him in my arms as a wee baird.
03:00And so he's he's come a long way.
03:04He's a beautiful, talented, leading man.
03:08He does a great version of Sherlock Holmes.
03:11It's so beautiful.
03:12It's so full of poignancy, depth, intelligent, where he's got all the Guy Ritchie action with
03:18a great profound kind of emotion.
03:20And I think at the heart of Conan Doyle is it's about spiritual growth as well as a great
03:26detective.
03:26And this story is a sort of origin story, if you like, and so for us as an audience
03:31to understand this young misfit developed into this gifted detective is a great journey
03:37to go on.
03:38So I love the evolution of that.
03:39I love the evolution of my nephew.
03:42He's beautiful in so many ways off camera, but from on camera.
03:45He's fantastic.
03:46He's a talent off camera.
03:47He has such grace.
03:49You wouldn't believe it.
03:50That's what I'm really proud of.
03:51I love how you got wee baird in there.
03:53I see what you did there.
03:53Thank you so much.
03:54Lovely to see you.
04:03See you later.
04:06Congratulations on being in this show.
04:09I mean, what's the whole experience been like for you being a part of young Sherlock?
04:16Dreamy, unrealistic, fantastic and grateful.
04:20I am obsessed with Guy Ritchie.
04:22Anything that he, any shows that he does, I'm like, I'm sad.
04:26What was it like getting to work with him?
04:28And what is it like being on a Guy Ritchie set?
04:30He's fun.
04:32He's fun.
04:33I mean, he's the guy who create a playground for his players.
04:39And as a, as like a good player, I enjoy the thing.
04:44I enjoy whatever that's the day.
04:46And then it turns out great when I have the most fun.
04:51How cool is it that we're getting to see a different side of Sherlock in there?
04:55I would say like it's a more emotional side of Sherlock rather than different.
05:02Because it's a young Sherlock and hero.
05:04We all know that he's very physical.
05:08He's good in football and he's also good in golf.
05:12And he's also a pretty nice, like a voyeur in terms of in fighting stance.
05:18Because you can see him got punched in the face so many times.
05:21That's really hard.
05:22You hold your own in this.
05:23You're absolutely incredible.
05:25Thank you so much for your time.
05:26Congratulations.
05:27Thank you lovely.
05:28Nice to meet you.
05:38This is so exciting.
05:40I mean, how incredible has it been being a part of this series?
05:43Working with Guy, working with the gang.
05:45I mean, what's it all been like?
05:46I mean, it's a kid in a candy shop.
05:49I love Sherlock Holmes.
05:50I wasn't particularly familiar until this job.
05:53I wasn't much of a reader when I was a kid.
05:55I used to listen to audio books.
05:56So I had to brush up on my Sherlock Holmes and brush up on this enormous fandom.
06:01But, you know, you sort of take it on and then you disregard the weight and the size of it.
06:08Then as I saw the cast coming on, you know, just so exciting.
06:13And Guy is a wonderful, completely unique director to work with.
06:18He shakes everything up on the fly constantly.
06:21No time to anticipate or reflect.
06:24He's just great.
06:25What is it like when a Guy Ritchie set?
06:28Fast.
06:30Fast, frenetic and nerve-wracking, but in the best possible way.
06:34Well, I'm scared for, in case you should accept me for not being ironed now.
06:37But you're going to be here.
06:38Protect me, you'll come back.
06:39You're going to be fine.
06:40You think I'm going to protect you?
06:41You think I'm going to start a fight with Guy Ritchie?
06:43Are you nuts?
06:44He knows people.
06:45I'll be looking for you.
06:45Like, come back, come back, Max.
06:47All the tough guys are friends with him.
06:49True.
06:50True.
06:50Lovely to meet you.
06:51Thank you so much.
06:52Congratulations.
07:02Lovely to see you.
07:03Nice to see you.
07:03Anything with Guy Ritchie.
07:05Yes.
07:05Entering Sherlock Holmes.
07:06Immediately, I'm sat.
07:08Yeah.
07:08Tell me, what was it like bringing this to the screen?
07:11It's funny you say that, because I can remember watching the first two movies with my daughter,
07:15who's coming tonight, but she was a lot younger then.
07:16And just that sense of fun, that sense of swagger, which we sort of tried to capture in this.
07:22It was an amazing journey.
07:23I was just saying just now, like, to end here, I mean, you can't see behind you, but the scale
07:27of this thing tonight is huge.
07:29And, you know, start a journey, you're in your room with a little computer on a blank page.
07:34Excuse me.
07:35And so, the journey's been incredible.
07:38I mean, taking on Sherlock is always a little daunting.
07:40I've been a huge fan of the book since I was a kid.
07:43But I think the way I dealt with it was, you know, the first book, Study of Scarlet, I was
07:48like,
07:48I'm not going to touch anything after that.
07:50So, before that is a playground that we get to play in.
07:52So, that was a way of taking the pressure off.
07:56Because if you feel, I think if you feel the shadows too heavy on your shoulders, you just get very
08:01constricted.
08:02So, that was the way of just, you know, making sure it was something that was playful and interesting
08:08and hopefully answers some of these questions or our take on why he became the man he became.
08:13Listen, I love it. I'm sad. I love the music. I love everything about it. The smagger.
08:17The music's great, isn't it?
08:17The music's so good.
08:18I mean, the music's so good across the board. Chris Benstead, our composer.
08:21I mean, what I love about the score, it's the kind of score, he uses a lot of traditional instruments.
08:25But it's kind of like, I can sit in a pub and that whole score could be being played on
08:30sort of four traditional instruments at the corner.
08:31But the way he does it, using traditional instruments but making it feel contemporary, the guy's incredible.
08:37Sit in Guy Ritchie's pub and listen to it all.
08:39I was sitting in Guy Ritchie's pub last night.
08:40It's a great pub.
08:41It's a very nice pub.
08:42It's a great pub.
08:42It's a good beer. I can't deny it. It's a good beer.
08:45So lovely to meet you. Thank you for this. I love it, honestly. Thank you so much.
08:48Thank you so much. Have a great night in your great suit.
08:49Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you.
09:00Guy Ritchie, how are you? Nice to see you again. Sorry, I'm wearing quite sharp jewellery, so I might jag
09:04you.
09:05How are you? How are you doing? Is that good?
09:07You look amazing.
09:08Thank you very much.
09:09Listen, this is so good. I mean, every series you come out swinging.
09:13What is the secret to the Guy Ritchie swag that you put into every show and film?
09:17I have to tell you, selfishly, I can't believe they pay me to do this. I should let anyone know
09:25that.
09:25But they're so much fun to make. The cast is so much fun. This lad's a wonderful lad. We've just
09:33been using him on something else that we're doing, actually.
09:35But they're just fun. There is a production I haven't enjoyed, I think, actually. But this one was particularly enjoyable.
09:46It was particularly enjoyable.
09:47And listen, why did you want to go back to Sherlock? We love him, you love him, everybody loves him.
09:52Why did you want to go back to him in this way?
09:53Well, because he's kind of unique. Sherlock Holmes occupies a space where he's both intellectual and physical. There's not many
09:59characters in the canon of literature or film that occupy that space.
10:03So there's sort of inexhaustible creative ideas that you can come up with. So for me, it's just an endless
10:10wellspring of opportunity to come up with new creative ideas.
10:16And I think we've got enough new ideas in this to make it worth it.
10:20Well, I need to let you get on, but I just want to say I was in your pub for
10:22the Mobland season one finale. Brilliant. Love your beer.
10:26Thank you. Thank you.
10:27Lovely to see you. Thank you so much.
