Awards: Ben's CBE! Moff's OBE.

Wayyyy too many Tweets... maybe a link or two as well.  ;b

The BBC on Honours, including CBE.  Ben's agency says "Congratulations to our newest "Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (and no, I didn't know what CBE stood for either!).

Dramatic Need 2015 site and its review on Cumberbatchweb.

Amanda notes in passing at Radio Times that filming s4 "will start in April" (the article is about her Tweeting, Martin's thoughts, and her new show Cuffs as well).

Everything else has spoilers to one extent or another and is about the Special.

Halloween candy: the Special!

Herein be spoilers, so if you are avoiding all news of the 2015 Sherlock episode, aka the Sherlock special, this would be a post to skip.  Entirely.


For the first time ever, PBS viewers and BBC viewers get to see Sherlock on the same day, i.e., New Year's Day 2016.  Mark your calendars, fandom!

There are some lovely pictures in that link, so I've added it for us all to savor.

As per usual, I will not spell out spoilers.  I'll mask spoilers here until probably late January and/or early February.

That's after this ep has come out, since not everyone gets to see every thing on the Interweb and the big screen at the same exact moment.

However, if you move past the cut, you have willingly entered into the land of spoilers.  Things Moffat has admitted up front, and/or things Mark has dropped via Twitter, and/or the rest of Team Sherlock, which includes crew, cast, and everyone else official.

Alas, poor Yorick...

A tale of Hamlet told in Tweets and links... well, and pictures.

Remember how they had some big shindig back in April 2015?  I found some videos of the guys there for us all to enjoy.

There you go, have some early Halloween candy.  :b

Team SH: Aug/Sept.

Xmas 2015 special: spoilers?!

Holy frijoles, it's been 29 days since my last post!

Apologies, dear fandom.  I've been ill, on deadlines, and other assorted chaos that masquerades as Life to distract one from the Interweb.

But hey, there is Sherlock candy for us all, so I'm back in time, so to speak.  Better'n cake, yes?


Amused... everyone from Variety to Tor Books are talking (Tweeting) about the new BBC Sherlock trailer.  Have you seen it yet?  Actually, there are TWO trailers.

This is the teeny 10-second vid... because the 1:30 [that's minute and seconds, sorry!] trailer follows the cut.

See a bit more… Wednesday 7 October. 9pm. BBC One. #221Back #Sherlock https://t.co/7vCrT5FjHN

OTOH, you can rest assured that since I didn't see either til today, we're all frazzled.
