Oh good, I'm glad it didn't come off too rambly! The concept-to-finish was really quite a process, so I had a lot to say about it, :-D.
My decision on how to portray John actually came from reading a tvtropes page and a mention of how John's trying to hide his hand tremor from Mike when they meet in the park and I went 'yes, that's the John I want for this'.
I was listening to the Study in Pink commentary and Moffat/Gatiss were talking about how Rupert was the only actor who auditioned who didn't play the part for laughs and that if one day Sherlock didn't show up, they could probably do a very interesting show about Lestrade. He's one of my favourite characters, even if he doesn't show up as much as I would like.
