Sherlock in LEGO anyone?

For my money, if it’s good enough for the Winchester Pub, it has to be good enough for Sherlock. With over 10,000 votes of support, the thought of a LEGO version of the BBC/PBS Sherlock is a bit closer to reality…only a bit, unfortunately, as the LEGO Group and the Cuusoo team still have to […]

The Full Sherlock…at Comic-Con 2013

Unfortunately, this won’t make life any easier given that Sherlock still probably won’t premiere on the BBC and PBS until 2014, but thanks to the generous folks over at PBS’ Masterpiece series, it’s just about the next best thing unless you happen to re-watch series one and two anytime between now and then.

ITV: Where Drama Lives 2013 Ordinarily, I’m not a big fan of trailers as, in many cases, they contain all the good bits.

Sir Ian McKellen next up to play Sherlock Holmes

Ever since 2010 when Benedict Cumberbatch entered the world of Sherlock Holmes, if anyone would have dared mention to me that there was to be even a hint of another small screen adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation, I would have immediately written it off as a wasted effort.
