PBS is a wonderful channel for more than one reason but it’s a shame they edit things! It’s disrespecting to the talent (even if they let them to cut it) and the audiences. There is also the censoring. I understand they aren’t a cable channel but that’s a difference between public UK TV and American in which without doubt the British win.

What a nice read. She just sounds so talented and normal and lovely. At the end it sounds like they've got another interview coming, with Benedict. Can't wait.

I haven’t listened it yet but it seems most of the press was during the Television Press Association press tour and BC wasn’t there in person. Just Macdonald. It’s PBS itself so maybe they did something like him after all.

I love the Masterpiece podcasts! I listened to each one after every episode of Victoria. And anyone can listen to the podcasts, whereas their videos can't be viewed outside the US.
At the end of the podcast, we're told that the podcast with Benedict's interview will be posted on Wednesday, April 4. They play a few seconds of that interview, where Benedict is laughing, talking about the reactions to TCIT, saying that a "baffled viewer" had called it the worst episode of Sherlock ever. Ha! I remember reading that tweet - it was pretty funny. Although it means, unfortunately, that he is aware of the awful things that were said about his project.
I can't wait to hear the whole interview!

Cool! I can’t wait to hear him.
He is the producer so it doesn’t surprise me he read all kind of reactions! And good for them for not ignore them and just talk about the rave reviews!

I kind of think this post kind of confirm that this is not designed for the typical BBC drama fans. blogs.weta.org/tellyvisions/2018/04/02/child-time-recapShe didn't understand anything about the Charles subplot! Apparently he wrote a horrible parody novel!? He was a very important member of the British government. Someone very close to the Prime Minister. That's why he and his people are worried about the public discovering he is behaving odd. It could damage their image (in the book it's suggested the Prime Minister is in love with Charles, too). The thing he wrote it's NOT a parody novel but the handbook Stephen and the other "specialists" are supposedly working on. He wrote it BEFORE HAND the committee was formed. The book is not a parody. The parody is the committee. A waste of time for those involve and money, for the citizens. Also the committee is a group of specialists from different disciplines. They include a child literature writer because a)a government wanting to sell something try to feign they are inclusive of all sectors but more important, b)he was actually hired by his friend to distract him from his pain. Of course, all these subplots are related to being a child or having a child. Stephen lost his and now is an adult father without a child meanwhile Charles, who supposedly was the emblem of adulthood and responsibilities has this paraphilia. Why he kills himself? Well, because he indeed as psychology issues and needed help. The point is, the story is not about resolving a crime but a meditation about childhood, adulthood and lost. She praises the performances but calls BC an "ugly crier" which I kind of found offensive like a fan (not really offensive but c'mon!). He is a great actor who cries in a very realistic way. He don't do the faux Hollywood thing of I'm crying but look beautiful. And that scene is so breathtaking that I'm amazed someone found a fault in the way he performed it. It was so real and raw.

I can’t respect the opinion of that reviewer who didn’t seem to have any real comprehension of the scene of Stephen in the Headmistress’s office. “horrendously ugly crier” As if acting out the total sorrow and feelings of everything slipping away from him was supposed to have the esthetics (and the faux emotional depth) of a “glamour shot”?!!?! Has this woman every experience true grief?? Ugh! :-))
