Anonymous asked: What was it like kissing each other for the first time? It's what we see in the film, right?

Holmes:  I assume you are referring to our characters’ first kiss, and not ours.

Watson:  Isn’t that what she said?

Holmes:  Not directly, no.

Watson:  Yes, it is the kiss you see in the film.  In fact, we did not rehearse the kiss itself, just the scene around it, and I believe the take in the film was the first take, so the kiss in the film is our first kiss of any variety.

Holmes:  Keep in mind that our characters were the ones kissing, not us.

Watson:  Quite so.  As to what it was like?  Honestly, it wasn’t much different than anyone else I’ve ever kissed in a film.  

Holmes:  Except you had to stand on tiptoes a bit.

Watson:  Yes, thanks for that, dearest.
