"I think [Sherlock co-creator] Mark [Gatiss] felt probably that fainting is not very 2013," said Freeman, speaking to Radio Times at our annual covers party. "I don't know what [John's reaction] is gonna be, but hopefully something very violent."
Freeman's character has a bit of track record of getting physical with his on-screen companion, having already punched him in the face once in series two episode A Scandal in Belgravia (admittedly after severe provocation). Is he ready to smack co-star Benedict Cumberbatch in the mouth again should the script call for it?
"Only in character. I'll do it if I have to," said Freeman. "Yeah, I'll throw my hat in the ring for that."
