Benedict Cumberbatch on playing Sherlock Holmes at the BFI screening

Is it quite difficult being Sherlock Holmes then?

Yeah its quite hard work, I’m a lot slower than him… in every way! And, you know, its great to ramp up, and it’s really enjoyable to see him back on the big screen!

And of course I enjoy it - I enjoy it tremendously.  I enjoy working with amazingly talented people like you have here.  And Martin - hobbling around in a wood in New Zealand but here in spirit.  It really is a joy - It’s a lovely family.

That side of it is easy peasy!
