Trivia / Sherlock S1 E2 "The Blind Banker"

• Creator Couple: Amanda, the secretary, is played by Olivia Poulet, who was in a 12 year relationship with Benedict Cumberbatch at the time of filming.
• Deleted Scene: The following scenes were cut from the episode for time constraints, and are based on their appearance in the script:
  • After the opening credits, and before the scene with John having a row with the checkout machine at the supermarket, a scene in which Van Coon jumps out of a taxicab upon getting home, darting into his building before the cabbie can ask him if he wants a receipt. He is seen rushing up the elevator, locks the chain bolt on the door, finds his SIG-Sauer P226 in a kitchen door, dashes into his bedroom, and jams a chair against the door.
  • After Sherlock takes the jade hairpin from Van Coon's secretary, he and John return it to the museum, and the hairpin is added to the costume of the Empress Wu mannequin. He hands it to the museum director, while John hands Seb's check to Andy. A close-up shows Soo Lin Yao's name being added on to the list of museum benefactors.
