What?

Completely confusing article in the Washington Post regarding the airing of Scandal in Belgravia in the UK, Masterpiece Mystery Producer Rebecca Eton announces 'Sherlock doesn't

take his clothes off'

Which Scandal did she watch????

It's so hilarious that everyone's talking about this ep on this side of the water without bothering to SEE it first. They don't have to see the entire episode even, everything shown was shown in public previews. And everyone's talking about Lara's nudity, but no mention of Benedict's delectable cleavage.

What is this idea that if it appears on PBS that it's going to be censored? It's nighttime viewing - *but I have inferred that it will be since it will less than 90 min running time* which is quite a shame as that flash of skin from Benedict includes one of the best scenes of John, Sherlock and Mycroft interaction.

I just .... why would they cut the spinning scene in the Blind Banker? I saw Sherlock on DVD, so I never saw the truncated versions.

Yep, of all my friends who are over here and love SHERLOCK, none of us are gonna wait till May, and we are getting the DVDs, it's really an absurd loss for PBS.

They cut the spinning scene to allow time for the PBS "Host" to natter on about the show we are about to see. PBS did not see that scene as important.

It was not until I started seeing pictures on the Net that I realized there were scenes missing when I did watch Sherlock for the first time on PBS.

Feh.

They also cut out the cabbie's explanation that he is doing the killings to make money for his children. All out.

PBS decides what is, or is not important to the storyline.

I want to support PBS, but I'll be getting my Brit TV via DVDs
