Coky Giedroyc and that family

[Shinjinee]

I've come late to Sherlock (TV), and find that the producer of the pilot is Coky Giedroyc aka Lady Bowyer Smyth, wife of the baronet.  (Her second marriage, and children if any unknown)
Her elder sister Kasia is wife of Philip John Parham, a senior British diplomat with maternal descent from the Fitzherbert and Scrope families.  The Giedroyc family genealogy is available

via Paul Theroff's site.

I haven't discovered any aristocratic connections for the actors, but Benedict Cumberbatch's great-grandfather Henry Arnold and great-great-grandfather Robert William were both HM
Consuls in Turkey (Smyrna, now Izmir).  There is a Cumberbatch family website for the interested.

Her younger sister is Mel Giedroyc, the TV presenter and one half of the duo Mel and Sue, well known here in the UK for presenting "The Great British Bake Off".  More info on her can found in her Wikipedia entry.  Coky's Wikipedia article, incidentally, is here.

Debrett's says that Coky's husband dropped the "Smyth" part of his name and is now merely "Bowyer".
