BBC TV’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Baker Street sleuth and Martin Freeman as the loyal Dr Watson, has been one of the major broadcasting success stories of recent years.
Bringing the classic characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into the 21st century it was created by Dr Who team Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat.
Nominated for a huge number of awards, including BAFTAs and Emmys and sold to 180 countries, even the show’s stars and creators were stunned at the level of debate in newsprint and on-line about plotlines and characters – especially a cliff-hanger ending which saw Holmes surviving a roof-top plunge, and then watching a distraught Watson at his graveside.
And it can be revealed the secrets of his survival have already been filmed – as TV producers were worried the location might change its appearance before the next series starts shooting in full.
Sherlockology, run by Jules Coomber, from Whitstable, David Mather, from Faversham and Emma Grigg and Leif Harstad, both from Swanley is a website dedicated to the series which has just been given a Shorty Award – the internet’s equivalent to the Oscars – at a presentation in Times Square, New York City.
It receives over a million hits a month, at any time of the day around 50 people are viewing and has a fan base of more than 100,000 people worldwide.
Coomber explained how the idea came about: “London may be the silent main character in Sherlock, but the idea of creating a website for the series came about during a trip the four members of the Sherlockology team took to Rome in April 2011. While we were there, we noticed tourist trips to filming locations for the film Angels and Demons.
“Sherlock films in some really iconic areas of London so when we arrived home in the UK we had a look to see if there was any information for it online.
“We discovered there was very little on the series. So we set about creating our own online hub of information from locations, to other behind the scenes content such as props and wardrobe, cast and crew information, details of the characters and episodes, and also a means of offering news.
