I have discovered that doing these differnces betweeen the original BBC version and the [...]]]> Firstly, I am not connected to the BBC, PBS, or anything like that.  I’m just a fanof both the show and the original stories .  This is not an official list, just one that I put together on my own.  :)

I have discovered that doing these differnces betweeen the original BBC version and the recut PBS version is like those cartoons in the paper where there are two pictures, but with six differences, and your job is to notice them. In fact, there is a Sherlock version of that game: the Sherlock Observation Game. (I keep getting the rank of DI Lestrade…. I feel insulted!… yes I”m kidding, of course…sorta).

But this “game” is different in that it’s video, and the total amount of edits are unknown (to me, anyway). So there is that challenge.

This is my second go (or fourth, if you count episodes rather than seasons).  Go here for A Study in Pink (includes screenshots), The Blind Banker, and The Great Game

I will say though that this is done for fun. I’m not ranting away at PBS who,I later learned from Steven Moffat himself, did not make the cuts:

 Though I do wish they would have played it “as is”.  But yes, the DVD and Netflix will have the full version, just like the first season. (YAY!)

(Note – I have done a basic clean up of my notes so there are bound to be a few mispellings. I only have included a small number of the screenshots, the rest of those will be added later.  And I’ll add more of  my opinions on the importance of the cut scenes later.)

And awaaaayy we go:

Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The opening credits. This wasn’t a change but a pleasant surprise that the PBS version kept the same opening credits, unlike the first season.

Blog Envy

Right after Sherlock questions about John blogging “The Geek Intrepter” (haha! Pun on The Greek Intrepreter”), it cuts to John and Sherlock examining a dead woman on a slab in the morgue:

(Note to self: Must make above image wallpaper for laptop….. Done!)

Sherlock: Do you think people actually read your blog?

John: Where do you think our clients come from?

Sherlock: I have a website.

John:  In which you write about 240 different types of tobacco ash.  Nobody’s reading your website.

Sherlock gives John  a cold hard stare.  Both rise from bending over the body, John still looking at the woman, Sherlock still giving John a mean look.

John: Right then. Died. Blonde hair.  No obvious cause of death, except for these speckles, whatever they are.

In the middle of John’s observation, Sherlock turns, still iriitated, walks out of the room, followed by Lestrade.

Importance – We begin to see the popularity of John’s blog growing, just as in the canon Watson’s stories also became more popular.

More blogging at Baker Street

John is sitting at his laptop typing away again in his blog.  Sherlock comes around from the kitchen, paper in one hand, food in another.  He looks over to John, walks over to read what John’s writing

Sherlock: Oh, for Godsakes.  The Speckled Blonde?

Then walks away.  John stops typing and looks up.

Cut to scene of the two little girls in Baker Street telling Sherlock and John about their grandfather.

Importance – Somwwhat.  Shows the buildup of Sherlock’s irritation of John’s writing.  Which is very similar to how Holmes felt about Watson publishing about their cases.

Even more blogging in Baker Street

Sherlock confronts John about writing about the unsolved cases.

John “This blog has had almost 2000 hits within the last 8 hours.  This is your living Sherlock!  (cut) Not 240 types of tobacco ash.

Sherlock: 243 (puts his saftey glasses on and flares up his handheld flamer (for lack of a better word).

I think it’s time, don’t you?

Merging from the scene of Irene Adler calling someone on her phone to the (nice!) crane shot of the exterior of 221B.  Just a couple seconds, barely noticeable.

Also a cut of Mr.s Hudson cleaning up the flat by taking a mug and a jug of milk (eww!) off the mantel.

 Boys, you got another one!

After man comes in and then faints, Mrs. Hudsonshouts out to the boys and then sympathitically bends over and looks down at the man and lets out a “ohh”

Helicopter for John

After Sherlock’s leptop is closed, John is told that a helicopter was landing for him.  The below shot is cut.

Another nitpick

The gentleman walking in and placing down Sherlock’s clothes in front of him is cut as well.

Later, at Buckingham Palace…

After John joins Sherlock  on the couch. John notices Sherlock is not wearing any pants, they laugh, he then looks around

John: Buckingham Palace.  (cut) I’m seriously fighting an impulse to steal an ashtray. (cut ends)

They both giggle more.

The Woman

Mycroft introduces the case to Sherlock and shows him pictures of Irane Adler

Mycroft: There are many names for what she does.  She prefers dominatrix.

(cut) Sherlock (still looking at the photos): Dominatrix…

Mycroft: Don’t be alarmed. It has to do with sex.

Sherlock (sharply looking up at Mycroft): Sex doesn’t alarm me.

Mycroft (smugly smiles): How would you know?(cut ends)

A couple minutes later…

Sherlock: Where is she?

Mycroft: In London, currently.  She’s staying…

Sherlock: Text me the details. I’ll be in touch by the end of the day.

(cut) Harry: Do you really think you’ll have news by then?

Sherlock: No, I think I’ll have the photographs

Harry: One can only hope you’re as good as you seem to think.

Sherlock then looks at him and makes the following deductions about Harry –

• Dog Lover
• Horse Rider
• Publis School
• Early Riser
• Left Side of Bed
• Non-Smoker
• Father
• Half  Welsh
• Keen Reader
• Tea Drinker

Sherlock: I’ll need some equipment of course.

Mycroft: Anything you require, I’ll have it sent…

Sherlock (interrupting): Can I have a box of matches?

Harry: I’m sorry?

Sherlock: Ot your cigerrette lighter,either would do (holds out his hand towards Harry)

Harry: I don’t smoke.

Sherlock: No, I know you don’t but your employer does

John (looks confused, then looks down)

Harry (reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter): We have kept a lot of people successful in the dark about this little fact, Mr Holmes.

Sherlock: I’m not the commonwealth (turns to leave)

John: And that’s as modest as he gets.  Pleasure to meet you (turns and follows Sherlock (cut ends)

Sherlock: La’ers

Both leave the room

Later in the cab

(cut)

John: Okay, the smoking.  How did you know?

Sherlock: The evidence was right under your nose John. As ever, you see but do not osberve.

John: Observe what?

Sherlock (reaching into his coat and pulls out…) An ashtray (flips it in the air)

Both of them laugh

Pictures are shown being taken by someone of both men in the cab (cut ends) and then a shot of Irene holding her phone, looking at them.

Breakfast at Baker Street

Sherlock, John are sitting at the table.  Sherlock reading the paper, John eating.  Mycroft is facing them, standing in front of the fireplace.

Mycroft:  How can we do anything while she has the photographs.  Our hands are tied.

Sherlock: She’d applaud your choice of words.  (cut begins) Do you see how this works?  That camera phone is her ‘get out of jail free’  card.  HAve to leave her alone.  Treat her like royalty Mycroft.

John:  Though not how she treats royalty (cut ends)

Holmes’ phone makes a ring, the sound of a woman’s gasp

A Christmas evening with the gang

A couple seconds of Sherlock playing the violin from the beginning of the crossing over from the last scene to the Chrstimas scene.

Calling Mycroft

After Sherlock hangs up with Mycroft and John comes in to check in on him

John: You ok?

Sherlock: Yes (and closes the door. (cut) (He stares out while walking back to his bad)

Shot to Mycroft, still holding his phone, staring out of the window as the snow falls. Then turns and walks away.

At Bart’s Morgue

A couple seconds cut from Sherlock and Mycroft walking down the hall to the morgue.

Later when Sherlock and Mycroft walk out, there’s a second of Molly (poor Molly!) cut. The nice camera shot of the back of Sherlock’s head through the morgue’s window is shortened.

After Sherlock and Mycroft wish each other Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year, Mycroft stays inthe hallway and calls John who is still at 221B.

Mycroft: He’s on his way. Have you found anything?

John: No. Did he take the cigerrette?

Mycroft: Yes.

John: (with a sigh) Shit (turns around to Mrs. Hudson) He’s coming. Ten minutes.

Mrs. Hudson: There’s nothing in the bedroom.

John (back on the phone) No, it looks like he’s clean. We’ve tried all the usual places. Are you sure tonight’s the danger night?

Mycroft: No. But I never am. You have to stay with him John.

John: Uh, I’ve got plans.

Mycroft: Nooo. (and hangs up)

(back to 221B) John: Mycroft…Mm (hangs up his end and turns toward his girlfriend who is sitting on the sofa. He joins her) I’m really sorry.

Jeanette: You know, my friends are so wrong about you.

John: Hmm?

Jeanette: You’re a great boyfriend.

John (taken by surprise, looks away) Ok, that’s good. (turns back to her) I always thought I was great.

Jeanette (looking at her watch): Sherlock Holmes is a very lucky man.

John (makes an exasperating sound): Jeanette, please.

Jeanette: No I mean it. It’s heart warming. You’ll do anything for him. (gets up to leave) You can’t even tell your girlfriends apart.

John (gets up and follows her to the door): Look, I’ll do anything for you. Just tell me what it is I’m not doing!

Jeanette: Don’t make me compete with Sherlock Holmes!

John: I’ll walk your dog for you. I said it now, I walk your…

Jeanette: I don’t have a dog!

John (in a loud whisper to himself): Because that was the last one…okay.

Jeanette: Jesus! (picks up her things and walks out)

John: I’ll call you.

Jeanette: No!

John: Okay ( and walks back inside)

Mrs. Hudson: That wasn’t very good, was it?

Importance – Helps show more of Mycroft’s and John’s concern for Sherlock.  Not happy that the scene with John and Jeanette was cut.  I am a gigantic fan of her grandfather, the legendary Charlie Chaplin (yes, *that* Charlie Chaplin).  And there are multi-faceted connections between Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chaplin which I will write about in a future post, one of them being that as a boy he was in the Sherlock Holmes play as Billy the page during the very early 20th century.

Later at 221B

Exterior shot of the outside of 221B with a cab driving by is cut.  John is sitting in his chair reading a book. Sherlock walks in, looksing dazed. John puts down his book and turns around.

John: Oh, hi.

Sherlock stands in the doorway, slowly looks around the room.

John: You okay?

Sherlock still looks around and walks away.

Sherlock: Hope you didn’t mess up my sock index this time.

John turns forward, puts his book down, and rubs his hand on his face, sighs, and rests his face in it. (cut ends.  Yup from Mycroft calling John up until now was cut)

Sherlock composing

Next shot is of Sherlock playing his violin and writing down music in front of oen of the long windows in the living room. The first shot of the hallway is cut.

After Sherlock attempting and failing with the 1895 passcode, John mentions that he’s going out.

John: Well, I’m going out for a bit.

Sherlock continues to playin, not replying to him.  John walks to the kitchen where Mr’s Hudson is claening up.  He picks up his keys off the table.

John (talking a little above a whisper): Listen, has he had any kind of girlfriend, boyfriend, a realtionship? Ever?

Mrs. Hudson( also talking just above a whisper): I don’t know.

They both look toward Sherlock who is still playing the violin, his back to them.

John turns back to Mrs. Hudson.

John (in a somewhat frustrated tone): How could we not know?

Mrs. Hudson (shrugs): He’s Sherlock.  How will we ever know what goes on in that funny old head?

John smiles, and they both turn toward Sherlock again.

John (tosses his keys a little into the air): Alright, see ya.

He turns and walks out.  (cut ends) Mrs. Hudson looks at Sherlock again while the sound of John’s footsteps are heard going down the stairs.  She walks out of the room.

221B exterior.  John walks out the front door and starts walking down the sidewalk.  A woman in a black dress is standing outside calls out to him.

Woman: John?

John: (turning around.  The sounds of Sherlock’s violin can still be heard) Yep? (sees woman) Hello.(then struck by her looks.  Slower, he speaks again) Hello.

Woman: So.  Any plans for New Year’s tonight?

John (slying smiling): Ahh (looks behind him then back to her).  Nothing fixed.  Nothing I couldn’t heartlessly abandon.  You have any ideas?

The woman looks behind her.

Woman: One. (cut ends) A black car pulls up right next to where they’re standing.  He shakes his head a little.

John looks over to the car and then walks towards it.

John: You know, Mycroft could just phone me, if he didn’t have this bloody, stupid, power complex.

Sherlock to the rescue

A couple seconds is cut of Sherlock looking up the stairs with a look of quiet seething on his face

Importance – minor.  Perosnally, I am glad that this scene was not cut more than that.  This is my favorite scene in the episode .

After Sherlock sprays and headbutts the gunman, the is a couple cut of Sherlock looking back at the gunman after checking Mrs. Hudson and the black car pulling up and John getting out.

Later when John is attending to Mrs. Hudson’s injuries, the gunman’s shadow is seen falling and a crashing sound is heard.

Mrs. Hudson: Oh, that was right on top of my bins!

The groaning of the gunman from outside is cut out

X-raying the phone

A couple seconds are cut out near the end of the scene with Sherlock and Molly.

The trio at Baker Street

After Sherlok and John finding Irene asleep in Sherlock’s bed, they begin to ask her questions.

Sherlock: So who’s after you?

Irene: PEople who want to kill me.

Sherlock: And who’s that?

Irene: Killers.

(cut) John: It would help yif you were a tiny bit more specific.(cut ends)

Sherlock: So you faked you’re own death in order to get ahead of them?

Irene: It’ll work for a while.

Sherlock: Except you let John know you’re alive and therefore me.

Irene: I knew you’d keep my secret.

Sherlock: You couldn’t.

Irene: But you did, didn’t you?

Pause.

Irene: Where’s my camera phone?

John: It’s not here. We’re not stupid.

Irene:  (cut) Then what have you done with it? (cut ends) If they guessed you got it, they’ll be watching you.

Dear me Mr. Holmes, dear me.

A few seconds of Mycroft sitting with a look of worry on his face is cut.

Catching a flight

A souple seconds are cut from the car that is driving Sherlock to the plane.

After the confrontation with Mycroft and Irene, there’s a couple seconds of the plane’s exterior that was cut.

An unlikely meeting place

In the rain, John and Mycroft meet in front of the Speedy’s sandwich shop.  A couple seconds are cut from the time Mycroft steps on his cigerrette to after John follows him int othe cafe.

Another second is cut after Mycroft mentions that initially Sherlock wanted to be a pirate.

Last couple seconds of silence at the end of the scene are also cut.

John hands over Irene’s phone

Sherlock: That her phone?

John: Yes, I was just about to take it back. (looks at Sherlock who has gone back to sitting at his microscope) Do you want to…?

Sherlock takes a deep breath.  John quietlystands there, still holding Irene’s file and phone, looking at Sherlock.  A couple seconds is cut of him standing there.

John: Listen, actually….

Sherlock: No, but I will have the camera phone then. (He holds out his hand while still looking through his microscope)

John (looking down at the pile of Irene’s file) But there’s nothing on it any more.  It’s been stripped.

Sherlock: I know, but I…(moves his hand again towards John, still looking through the microscope) I’ll still have it.

(cut) John: I’ve gotta give this back to Mycroft.  You can’t keep it…

Sherlock, still holding out his hand. (cut ends)

John: Sherlock, I have to give this to Mycroft.  It’s the government’s now.  I couldn’t…

Sherlock (still holding out his hand): Please.

John looks at Sherlock’s hand and then back to him.  He thinks about it and then goes inside the clear plastic bag and pulls out the phone and puts it in Sherlock’s hand.

Sherlock: Thank you (all while still looking thorugh his microscope.)

Sherlock and John head to Van Coon’s place

After Sherlock and John walk out of the bank, they take a cab ride to Van Coon’s apartment.

Interrupting Sebastian’s lunch

After leaving the crime scene of Van Coon’s murder, Sherlock and John make a surprise meeting with Sebastian, eho is trying to eat lunch.

Restaurant. Sebastian eating with some friends

Sebastian: He’s left trying to sort of cut his hair with a fork, which of course can never be done.

Sherlock and John come in and Sherlock talks directly to Sebastian.

Sherlock: It was a threat, that’s what the graffiti meant.

Sebastian: I’m kind of in a meeting. Can you make an appointment with my secretary?

Sherlock: I don’t think this can wait. Sorry, Sebastian. One of your traders, someone who worked in your office, was killed.

Sebastian: What?

John: Van Coon. The police are at his flat.

Sebatian: Killed?!

Sherlock Sorry to intterfer wit heverone’s digestion. Still want to make an appointment? Would maybe nine o’clock at SCotland Yard suit?

Cut to the three of them talking in the men’s bathroom.

Sebatian: Harrow, Oxford… very bright guy. Worked in Asia for a while, so…

John: You gave him the Hong Kong accounts?

Sebatian: Lost 5 million in a single morning, made it all back a week later. Nerves of steel, Eddie had.

John: Who’d want to kill him?

Sebatian: We all make enemies.

John: You don’t all end up with a bullet through your temple.

Sebatian’s mobile phone rings.

Sebatian: Not usually. Excuse me.

He looks at his phone.

Sebatian: It’s my chairman. Police have been on to him. Apparently they’re telling him it was a suicide.

Sherlock: Well, they got it wrong Sebastian. He was murdered.

Sebatian: Well, I’m afraid they don’t see it like that.

Sherlock: So?

Sebastian: And neither does my boss. I hired you to do a job. Don;t get sidetracked.

Sebastian walks out of the bathroom.

John: I thought bankers were supposed to be heartless bastards.

Cut to Lukis running frantically.

Sherlock and John visit Scotland Yard.

Sherlock shows an online article about Lukis who was killed the night before and they head to Scotland Yard.

Sherlock: Brian Lukis, freelance journalist, murdered in his flat. Doors locked from the inside.

John: You’ve got to admit, it’s simliar. Both men killed by someone who can walk through solid walls.

Sherlock: Inspector, do you seriously believe that Eddie Van Coon was just another city suicide? 9sighs) you have seen the ballistics report, I suppose? And the shot that killed him. Was it fired from his own gun?

Dimmock: No.

Sherlock: No. So this investigation might move a bit quicker if you were to take my word as gospel. I’ve just handed you a murder inquiry. Five minutes in his flat.

Meanwhile, back at the museum…

After Sherlock and Raz leave John holding the spray paint and confronting the community officer, Andy (Su Lin Yao’s co-worker at the museum) talks with his supervisor.

Young man: Sher was right in the middle of an important piece of restoration. Why would she suddenly resign.

Supervisor: Family problems. She said so in her letter.

Andy: But she doesn’t have a family. She came to this country on her own.

Supervisor: Andy!

Andy: Look, thoise teapots, those ceramics. They’ve become her obsession. She’s been working on restoring them for weeks. I can’t believe that she would just… abandon them.

Supervisor: Perhaps she was getting a bit of unwanted attention?

John finds some clues

While Sherlock and John hunt for cipher clues around London, John comes across a brickwall, full of the yellow ciphers. He runs back to find Sherlock.

John: Answer your phone. I’ve been calling you. I found it.

Sherlock follows John back to the brick wall, which now has no ciphers.

John: It’s been painted over.

Sherlock looks around with his flashlight. John is baffled by the missing ciphers.

John: I don’t understand. It was here (pointing at the wall). Ten minutes ago. I saw it. A whole load of graffiti.

Sherlock: Someone doesn’t want me to see it.

Sherlock then grabs John’s head with both hands.

John: Sherlock, what are you doing?

Sherlock: Ssh! John, concentrate. I need you to concentrate. Close your eyes.

John: What? Why? Why? What are you doing?

Sherlock lowers his hands around John’s arms and begins to turn both him and John around.

Sherlock: I need you to maximise your visual memory. Try to picture what you saw. Can you picture it?

John: Yeah.

Sherlock: Can you remember it?

John: Yes, definately.

Sherlock: Cna you remember the pattern?

John: Yes.

Sherlock: How much can you rembmer it?

John: Look, don’t worry.

Sherlock: Because the average human memory on visual matters is only 62% accurate.

John: Well, don’t worry, I remember all of it.

Sherlock: Really?

John: Well at least I would, if I could get to my pockets. I took a photograph.

Sherlock lets John go, and John reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out his mobile, presses a button to pull up the picture of the ciphered wall and shows it to Sherlock.

Imporatnce — Somewhat. Explains where Sherlock got those pictures of the wall ciphers from. Also shows how quickly the gang works since they got rid of the ciphers within 10 minutes of John spotting them.

Meeting Molly at Bart’s

Cafeteria. Sherlock sneaks up on Molly who’s deciding what to get from the hospital’s cafeteria.

Sherlock: What are you thinking? Pork or Pasta?

Molly (startled): Oh, it’s you.

Sherlock: I suppose it’s never going to trouble Egon Ronay, is it? I’d stick with the pasta.

Importance — Minor. Just a little bit more of Sherlock and Molly. Also caused me to google Egon Ronay.

Sherlock and John invistigate what was smuggled

John and Sherlock return to 221B after the morgue.

Sherlock: Not just a criminal orginasation. It’s a cult. Her brother was corrupted by one of its leaders.

John: Soo Lin said the name.

Sherlock: Yes, Shan. General Shan.

John: We’re still no closer to finding him.

Sherlock: Wrong! We’ve gotr almost all we need to know. She gave us most of the missing pieces. Why did he need to visit his sister? Why did he need her expertise?

John: She worked at the museum.

Sherlock: Exactly

John: An expert in antiquities. Of course, I see.

Sherlock: Valuable anitiquities, John. Ancient Chinese relics purchased on the black market. China’s home to a thousand treasures hidden after Mao’s revolution.

John: The Black Lotus is selling them.

Cut to the guys looking online at antiques that were aquired by the museum

Sherlock: Check for the dates…. here! (points to something on the screen) John, “arrived from China four days ago”. Anonymous. The vendor doesn’t give his name. “Two undiscovered treasures fromn the East.”

John: One in Lukis’s suitcase and one in Van Coon’s.

Sherlock (typing into a serach engine): Antiquities… sold at auction. (results pop up) Look, here’s another one. Arrived from China a month ago. Chinese ceramic statue sold for £400,000.

John: Look, a month before that, Chinese paiting, half a million.

Sherlock: All of them from an anonymous source. They’re steealing them back in China and one by one feeding them into Britain.

John (comparing Van Coon’s and Lukis’s calendars): Every single auction coincides with Lukis or Van Coon travelling to China.

Sherlock: So what if one of them got greedy when they were in China? What if one of them stole something?

John: That’s why Zhi Zhu’s come.

Mrs. Hudson (knocking at the door) Sorry, are we collecting for charity, Sherlock?

Sherlock: What?

Mrs. Hudson: A young man’s outside with crates of books.

Police carry in boxes of books.

Sherlock and John back at 221B

After briefly meeting with the inspector, Sherlock and John discuss what the imporatnce of the hairpin was:

Sherlock pours John a cup of tea (?)

John: So, nine million.

Sherlock: Million.

John: Million, yes. Nine million for jade pin dragon den black tramway.

Sherlock: An instruction to all their London operatives. A message. What they were trying to reclaim.

John: What, a jade pin?

Sherlock: Worth nine million pounds. Bring it to the Tramway, their London hideout.

John: Hang on. A hiarpin worth nine million pounds?

Sherlock: Apaarently

John: Why so much?

Sherlock: Depends who owned it. (and takes a sip from his cup.)

Imporantace – Somewhat. Now that they know it was a hairpin that was worth 9 million, the mystery is why?

A Study in Time

Oh My Gosh! [...]]]> On a roll now!

Since restarting this blog, there has been a new Sherlock Holmes series, called, simply. Sherlock (Original, right? LOL!). I will post my review of it here (I have it posted somewhere else at the moment). But I wanted to show some brilliant fanvids here.

A Study in Time

Oh My Gosh! This video just blew me away. It’s done like a BBC trailer for a show (even has the BBC One logo on the bottom), combining Sherlock and Doctor Who (BTW, both shows are written and (in the case of Sherlock) created by (Steven Moffat (head DW writer) and Mark Gatiss). Unfortunately, Moffat has said that he will never combine the two on one show though I think he should for charity like Big Nose Day or Children in Need. Anyway….

Short explanation of the Sherlock show. Holmes (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) are brought up in present day instead of Victorian England. If you haven’t seen it, please do yourself a favor and watch it! Acting, writing, sets, etc., top notch!  The song is Cracking the Code by PostHaste Music.

Sherlock Holmes: The Boys Are Back

I found out about this video from the Baker Street Blog (a great blog to find out news from the world of Holmes and Watson) a while back.  This includes 5 different sets of Holmes-Watson teams: Rathbone-Bruce, Brett-Burke, Basil-Dawson (from Disney’s Great Mouse Detective movie), Downey-Law, and Cumberbatch-Freeman. Note that in different clips Holmes is playing the violin during the guitar solo…. nice touch!

Sherlock – ‘tick, Tick BOOM’

A short one.  And loud music.  Probably will attract attention if you play it with people around.  Tick Tick Boom by The Hives.

Sherlock – Life in Technicolour

Life in Tecnicolour ii is one of the best songs by Coldplay, so put together with one of the beat teams of Holmes & Watson, it’s hard to not like it .  But it’s a short video , still brilliant though.
