The Bride is getting closer

There's a lot of cynicism about the imminent Sherlock special but I am not joining it. I am very excited.

"The moustache has gotta go" ......why?

I've mentioned before that I watch a lot of YouTube reaction videos. Some of those reacting to the second, extended, Sherlock special trailer have been slightly frustrating.

Are some stories almost impossible to film?

Some stories in the canon pretty much defy dramatisation. Why is this?

Wow. Number 1 for a few minutes

Good for a book published in 2008

Further thoughts on Undershaw news

Yesterday evening I wrote a quick opinion piece on the news that Undershaw is to become a school...

Would Victorian "Sherlock" have been as popular?

Now here’s a question. Would Sherlock have been as popular as it has been if it had been set in the Victorian era? In other words, to what extent is its popularity driven by the fact that it is contemporary?
