Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch continues his busy year by signing on to Parade's End, a joint venture between HBO and the BBC that will produce a five part mini-series adapted from Ford Madox Ford's epic four part novel of the same name.

thanks benandmartin!

*thoughts - World War 1 Benedict! Nice! HBO, boo, I don't want to have to subscribe to see it.
If it's based on a book, or an earlier film or play, do you read or view the work before you go to see your actor's version, or do you wait?
All fics have a plot to them, they are all in character love-relationship stories, some have a bit of angst or humour, and are all explicit ratings.

*see also Romantic PG Sherlock John Recs and Sherlock AU Recs when you hit fic rec tag.

New interview for overseas broadcast of Sherlock.

Benedict being cheeky regarding Watson: "He's smaller than me, so it gives me a great sense of importance."

(noteably, Benedict also speaks in this video that Watson is Sherlock's 'wingman' but Benedict has also made this reference when referring to his collaboration with Martin Freeman; continuing the great tradition of Holmes and Watson actors who become friends offscreen.)



BTW - You can see SHERLOCK SEASON ONE on NETFLIX!

(okay but the totally random title shot at the end added by the overseas broadcaster is So Hideously Ugly, that's supposed to be 221B Baker Street?????)

Converting!

My daughter (12) likes to tell her friends about things she's interested in, like GACKT, our fave musician, and she'll use computer time to show pics of him via Google searches (and very chuffed when Mum's pictures show up)

So she was telling them about SHERLOCK, and showing pics of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

Her friends ask: 'If that's Sherlock Holmes where is his hat?' (deerstalker)

Daughter: He doesn't wear that anymore.

Friends: Where is his big pipe?'

Daughter: He uses Nicotine Patches now.

Friends: Who is this.

Daughter: That is Sherlock's brother Mycroft, he worries about him.

XD.
