In this special episode of StoryForward, co-host Steve Peters talks with Joe Lidster, a television writer best known for his work on Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and most recently, the online story content for the BBC series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. They talk about the unique process behind the TV show, which, in true transmedia storytelling fashion, simultaneously spans your television screen, multiple websites and more.

    They are brilliant! Both character and blogs.

    Thanks for this podcast! The insights into both the blogs and transmedia (definitely done right in ‘Sherlock’) are fascinating. I’m a U.S. fan, eagerly awaiting Series 2.

    I must say, I love the character (and the show and the site) but John is a *terrible* writer. Did Martin Freeman get a say on how his blog posts were written?

      I find them simple and sometimes unclear – but that’s how diaries often are.
