Interviews | Richard D James
A remarkable contraption


What are the gadgets and equipment that you found most entertaining?

Picture Over the course of thirteen years we�ve done some remarkable pieces and some of the things that came out of the special effects shop are quite beautiful.

I�m not sure I can say it�s my favourite but what certainly came to mind when you asked me the question was the computer that we put together for Elementary, Dear Data, a hologram episode. It was Moriaty�s computer, for when he got on line and started interfering with the ship�s computer. It had a very, very Victorian look to it. I enjoyed that episode tremendously.

I did a tremendous amount of research, and I was in contact with one of the Sherlock Holmes museums. You�re dealing with something that has such a following, and so I had the bullets that Sherlock Holmes shot into the wall of his apartment, and the Turkish slipper and all of these elements we pulled into the apartment.
