    Sorry, but this is not an excuse. Especially not in the light of the Jimmy Savile parallels.

    I know.
    He's from my home county and I work with young children, too.
    I can see why it might upset some.
    Possibly suggest to the organisers that they change it?

    I think this would be a good idea.

    Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

    I sent them a tweet and got the following answer:

    "The villains are an important aspect of the stories that are told in this show, and Toby delivered an amazing performance."

    Which is true. My reservations were more about the children's ward and less about Toby who was indeed great.

    I agree, it's a shame they have misunderstood you.

    It doesn't bother me personally but I can see why some people might be uncomfortable with it.

    Took a peek. 
    These are the parties that will be at the LA event.
    Get ready to party at Sherlocked USA in May!Each evening will follow a different theme and those themes are as follows...
    Friday Night will present you with the theme of a Chinese Circus inspired by the episode The Blind Banker, circus skills on display, codes to break and plenty of pouring tea... maybe.
    Saturday Night is London Calling, we may be many miles away from England's capital city but for one night only a little bit of London will be in LA!  Featuring popular London music, a 'pub' quiz and the classic iconic London features!
    Sunday Night is Moriarty's Pool Party - a great way to wind down and chill out by the pool, unless of course someone with bad intentions suddenly turns up...

    Good news for all the Jolto shippers. And he seems to be a really nice guy with fans.

    I find him rather handsome too.  Not that it matters.

    Just don't ask Mycroft out for a drink when you are there, it will only confuse him. ;)
