Well that was absolutely excellent! Nicola Walker was playing two roles - she reprised her role as Eleanor from The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Whisperer in the Darkness. She also played a new role - Mrs Boone - who was delightfully violent!

Can highly recommend, but it probably helps if you’ve heard the other audios in Julian Simpson’s Pleasant Green universe. Some are linked through that TV Tropes page (on Julian Simpson’s Soundcloud). The Mythos audios are up on the BBC website and you can find  the three podcasts for The Lovecraft Investigations up on Apple Podcasts.

Anyone ever seen Stephen Fisher from New Tricks? He has to have been based on Mycroft. His episodes of New Tricks are dated 2012, Sherlock is 2010. They are like 2 peas. I'm now wondering about a cross over.

Perhaps it's twins... Sherlock has twin brothers, Alexander Mycroft Maurice and Stephen Siger George. They hate each other, and in their youth, Sherlock often took delight in playing them off one against each other. However, when Mycroft finally marries, Sherlock is bored of his brothers’ behaviour. They're not quite identical, and Mycroft is relieved. No more so that when his new husband finally meets his third sibling. When Mycroft refered to ‘the other one’ he wasn’t talking about Eurus. 

Interestingly, Tim McInnery played Sir Eustace Carmichael in The Abominable Bride. Anyway, this just happened...

“Stephen?”

“Mycroft,” the solemn man acknowledged with barely a raised eyebrow, as though he were deeply surprised to find confirmation of something he suspected and was doing a monumental job of hiding it. 

“I was not aware that you would be...here.” Spoken as though there were no better words to describe their current location. 

“My own brother’s wedding? Why on earth not?” 

“Because you have never deigned to stir yourself from the Diogenes for anything less than a National Emergency, that is why not,” Mycroft retorted pointedly. 

Greg was looking between the two men with barely disguised shock. If he was being honest, he was probably doing a terrible job of hiding it. He couldn’t stop looking at the newcomer, wondering. He looked so like Mycroft but not like... He gave up and fixed Mycroft with a look.

“Introduce us?” the new man suggested.
