lizzymaxia: Mark Gatiss: Casting John Watson was a much longer process because I think once you’ve got one side of the partnership, you’ve got to find the fit. Steven Moffat: The chemistry was instant. Martin’s presence in the room changed the way Benedict played the part. Martin Freeman: Chemistry either happens or not. You can’t really manufacture it; you can’t really do anything but hope it’s gonna happen. Steven Moffat: There was a friendship instantly between Martin and Benedict. They’re not at all like the parts they play. At all, really. But the relationship between them really informs the much pricklier onscreen relationship. Because obviously Sherlock’s a quite cruel man at times and John’s quite a put-upon man at times, and you won’t buy that, you won’t enjoy that unless you absolutely feel in every scene and every heartbeat that there’s that proper, underlying warmth, that real proper solid friendship. And that friendship has actually happened between Benedict and Martin. And that’s what… the value of that you get on screen. Benedict Cumberbatch: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are a fantastic pairing. They are in many ways … not quite chalk and cheese, but they complement each other, really. It’s not a thing of difference being a problem, it’s the thing that allies them. They are the missing half of either party.  Martin Freeman: Unbeknown to them, like any sort of great relationship or any great chemistry, without knowing it they realize they’ve met the right person. So by the end of the first night they’ve spent together hanging out, they realize that they’re gonna be very, very good friends, ’cause they’re a perfect foil for each other. John is … in a way he’s like Sherlock’s kind of moral compass, because Sherlock’s mind is so genuinely brilliant, he doesn’t always stop to consider the whys and wherefores or the rights or wrongs of what is. And John is kind of like his moral barometer there. Unlocking Sherlock (Making Of) [my special thanks go to Ari who helped me with the transcript] Yes, pls.  Emphasis mine.
