In The Sherlock Society, what does Mr. Bailey ask the team for when he sees them filming outside his store?

• A. A permit
• B. A sign
• C. ID badges
• D. A phone number

Answer: (A)

Getting proper permissions is essential when filming in or near someone’s property. In this scene, Mr. Bailey asks for a permit, which is the formal approval from the local authorities or the property owner to film in that location. A permit helps ensure the shoot complies with local rules, coordinates safely with pedestrians and customers, and protects the crew from potential legal or liability issues. It signals that the filming is authorized and planned, reducing disruption to the store and passersby.

The other options don’t fit as well. Asking for a sign wouldn’t grant permission or address whether filming is allowed. ID badges, while useful for identifying crew, don’t replace the need for authorization to film on that property. A phone number is just contact information and doesn’t provide the formal permission needed.
