Even Sherlock Holmes Makes Mistakes
Benedict Cumberbatch is known for his excellent portrayal of the brilliant detective, Sherlock Holmes. However, even the great Sherlock is not immune to the effects of alcohol. In one particular scene, the duo of Sherlock and Watson are supposed to be intoxicated, and when Cumberbatch forgot his lines and stuttered, it ended up fitting perfectly with the script.
The scene became even more realistic as Cumberbatch's character was supposed to be unraveling a mystery while intoxicated, and his confusion and forgetfulness added to the authenticity of the scene. It is not uncommon for actors to struggle with their lines or forget them entirely, but in this case, it only made the show more entertaining for viewers.
