Thank you! :D I just love that Mycroft is the one who gets to eat the cake in the end. XD

Those few scenes in War Horse were bad (breathtaking) enough!

Thanks! Number five is supposed to be a fan's interpretation of what BBC Sebastian Moran may look like.

Absolutely fabulous! Benedict did such a great job. However, the Brian Blessed episode of HIGNFY still remains a firm favourite. XD

I cannot wait for this to come out. :D Cumberbatch, Quinto, and Star Trek. Perhaps it's for the best that Tom Hiddleston isn't also involved. I don't think I could handle it. XD

For me, he remains the definitive Holmes, such a brilliant portrayal of the eccentric Victorian gentleman.
By the way, I have always wanted to ask a native speaker - why does he pronounce the  "r" in such a specific way? It´s an alveolar "r", isn´t it?

As much as I adore Benedict's Sherlock, Jeremy will always be whom I picture when I read the original stories. Regarding his pronunciation of the letter 'r', I believe that it may be in part due to his rhotacism. Although he had surgery to correct this speech impediment whilst a teenager, I think he remained overly conscious of his pronunciation even into adulthood. Alternatively, it could be because he wished to portray Holmes's speech in a more eccentric manner than the norm. After all, his pronunciation of the letter was not always the same.

Hello everyone! I'm not normally one to sign up to a forum, but I just couldn't resist with this one. As I currently have BBC Sherlock's final episode playing in the background as I type this, I think I should fit right in here. I've also quite recently begun reading all the original stories, as well as viewing the 1984 Granada series with the glorious Jeremy Brett, Yes, that does mean that I sit and compare as I watch. XD Nice to meet you all!
