May 10–“First readthrough for Sherlock today. In a few hours I shall be reading stage directions stupidly fast.”

“Read-through went great. @Markgatiss has written another cracker! #Sherlock”

May 11–“On my way to rehearsals with Benedict and Martin. Shoot starts Monday so I’ll be sending regular progress reports from the set. #Sherlock”
