And so do we.
Sue: “This was the funniest thing in an edit, d’you remember – at one point there wasn’t a picture of [Irene] in the bed and Steven said to Paul, ‘There has to be a picture of her in the bed, otherwise it could be anything – it could be a shaved ape’.”
Steven: “And they kept arguing all day and I said, ‘No, we have to actually see what they see. It could be anything – a shaved chimp,’ so I got a slightly sulky email, I thought, from Paul McGuigan saying, ‘Well, look, this is what you asked for; I’m giving it to you,’ and it was a shaved ape! They must have spent about three hours doing this – it was beautifully edited in!”
Sue: “And I couldn’t open it, and then you replied to Paul going, ‘Well, I think it’s fine, but Sue, d’you think Lara’ll be okay with that pose?’ And to this day, every time we get to that, I just have this fear that it’ll turn up!”
Benedict: “There’s gonna be a lot of slash fiction now!”- From “A Scandal in Belgravia” DVD Commentary

For those who wanted to know what was cut from the USA showing of A Scandal In Belgravia. (please let me know if I’ve missed anything)
- Some of the montage at the beginning of the episode, including The Speckled Blonde
- 243 types of tobacco ash
- “Sex doesn’t alarm me,” exchange in Buckingham Palace
- Smoking deduction in Buckingham Palace and not being part of the common wealth.
- Sherlock stealing the ashtray (:( sadface)
- Random bits of dialogue and some entrances and exits
- Some of the Christmas scene regarding Irene’s death
- Mycroft calling John about drugs and it possibly being a “danger night.” Sock index, etc.
- Some of the scene with Mycroft and John at Speedy’s.
It’s very important to understand that cuts are for time and not content (obviously as all the nudity stayed in). Sherlock has a short block than 90 minutes on PBS, so they have to cut to fit it because of all the commercials. Hartswood make the cuts, not PBS, so the decision lies with Sue Vertue & co. Please don’t be angry at them, it just has to be done and you’ve all seen the episode anyways, and it’ll be in full on the DVD.
Too bad the American’s didn’t get the ‘full feast’ as Benedict calls it.

And my response to that…
