yep, still tjlc

Thank you to @loudest-subtext-in-tv for sharing the older versions of the “new” Sherlock Scripts

I ran the pair of scripts through Draftable to compare. Draftable highlights deleted parts in red, new parts in green, and blue parts have been moved in the script. I’m particularly interested in the change of Mycroft’s line on the plane:

and more changes are below the fold.

Everyone has seen the Sherlock scripts the BBC just released, but something that might interest y'all is that we have had at least some version of a script for almost every episode for years before this! I've kept copies in a database I've been slowly working on since 2015, and we were only missing scripts for the unaired pilot, the mini-episode between S2 and S3 called Many Happy Returns, TAB (although iirc an anti-TJLCer bought a paper copy in an auction and afaik did not choose to share it online? link me if I'm wrong), T6T, and TFP.

There are different versions of scripts, so the versions we had before might not be the same as the ones that were just released. Any differences are potentially interesting!

I'm dealing with a family crisis rn unfortunately so it'll be a bit before I can read the new batch of scripts myself, BUT I would love it if any of you want to compare the scripts that were just released to the ones I have saved and let us know what you find! Are they the same, are they different?

ALSO, I have no idea where I got these because I've lost the paper trail over the years. If anyone wants to credit their origin, PLEASE let me know and I'll update this post.
