I love that you gave us Lestrade who is unaware of his appeal. That's so true to Rupert Graves' characterization. Innocent about his attractiveness, confident about most everything else.

I don't know if that is something we have explicitly discussed before, or if it's something we just happen to both like, but yes. YES. I love him like that too!

I wrote the first draft of this and then went back and listened to the Fucking Sherlock panel, and I realized I'd already worked in a few of the things you mentioned in it! The hands were one of those things. ;-)
