20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Sherlock
17. Steven Moffat Doesnt Visit The Set
Sherlock is viewed by many as Doctor Who head writer Steven Moffat's baby. And while he's certainly a central force behind the show, with the writing style that has dominated the sci-fi adventure for the past few years shining through, he's not as involved as he is with Who. Whereas a show-runner typically has major control over the show, with Sherlock Moffat is really fitting the role of a conventional writer. By his own admission he only turns up on the set when something's gone wrong, which means the cast and crew getting to see him marks a very bad day. Fellow head writer Mark Gatiss is naturally on set more - he has to be Mycroft after all - and likely serves as an advisor for the show's directors.
