Speaking of the tycoon, I also wondered why was his house's name was mentioned so often. Applecore or something?

Totally sweet. I loved her reaction when her husband learned that Downton Abbey beat Sherlock for Best Series at the National Television Awards:

Watched both this past weekend. Two bits of trivia I learned from my sherlocked resident expert: The actress who plays Watson’s wife Mary and Martin Freeman are a couple themselves, with 2 young children. The brief scene with Sherlock’s parents features BC’s own parents. His dad doesn’t use Cumberbatch; he’s somewhere in the credits under the last name of Carlton. Now the besotted Cumber-collectivettes have a choice in their dreams for a last name (as if they cared) hee hee.

Here's a teaser image from the upcoming special. Hmm...

EDIT: More info here - this sounds pretty fun!

Hey very cool!

But this quote bummed me out a bit: "Series four of Sherlock is due to return to screens in 2017."

President Sanders will be in office before Sherlock returns!

2017??? That's just not good enough!!!!!

If you get the chance to see the "Mr Holmes" movie, it is seriously good, though harrowing.

Indeed.

And they left an opening for a sequel!

I'm really looking forward to "Arthur & George" starting tomorrow night on PBS. It's apparently about Arthur Conan Doyle and a "criminal" named George, who gives ACD back his zest for life. Here's the IMDB description:

In 1906, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, having lost his first wife, was
overcome with grief; even Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson refused his
call. It was only when his secretary, Woodie, presented him with an
apparent real-life miscarriage of justice, that he could be roused to
action. The case in question was that of George Edalji, a Parsee
solicitor, who was imprisoned for writing obscene letters and killing
livestock in Great Wyrley, Staffordshire. George needed Arthur's help to
clear his name. However, as the twists and turns of the case unfold,
Arthur himself questions George's innocence. It is only by finding the
true culprit, that Arthur can finally put the case, and his grief, to
rest; whilst simultaneously becoming influential in a major reform to
the English judicial system.

Martin Clunes alert, for Doc Martin fans.

WHAAAAAAAT IS HAPPENING:

I think the music in the trailer needs to be more dramatic.

And WHEN

They've gone full-on Victorian, and Watson's mustache is even worse now!

You know we've just had the World Beard and Mustache Championships (or whatever the correct title of the event is), don't you?

Peggy, what did you think of Arthur and George?
