That is actually the problem with this theory isn't it? Mycroft certainly seems to be suggesting that there is something going on between John and Sherlock. There's a few times he suggests this, now I think of it. So unless literally every character on Sherlock is gay except possibly Mrs Hudson, it might simply be that this is a reverse dig.
 

yk, I like that teory too

and I also like the other possibility-that Irene actually did just like Sherlock. 

I think its the way Mycroft says it that makes me think he is deadly serious and what he's saying isn't controversial at all to either of them. And the fact that Sherlock doens't respond iirc. If one of my siblings said that to me I'd have something to say back.

Yeah, it was an interview, BB glad you remember it too. I think its pretty well known in the fandom and Gatiss has certainly done nothing to refute it. But honestly, I cannot reference every single interview with everyone I've ever read. Really, can you? Really? The reason for that is that, to me, its not a shocking or amazing revelation.Yeah he's probably gay. And? Who cares? Why does it matter?

There are so many wild theories in the Sherlock fandom. This is hardly the most controversial.  I'd say that the idea that the ring belonged to his dead father is rather more tenuous. We don't even know his father is dead. And tbh, in the UK, people don't normally wear their dad's rings. And yet the idea that Mycroft might be gay is the one considered so out there that we're being asked for evidence? Seriously?

Isn't it interesting what people ask for interview evidence to corroborate? 

aw Marheri, have another go, go on.

It is a good quote actually. 

 

ok 

A

Isn't the quote something like the time was right but the date was wrong? It doesn't say "hands", for example, either.

I'll admit to being really puzzled by this one, I even went through a few of the transcripts but couldn't find anything that matched. So I'm intrigued! 

:-)

Not around today though. Someone else take my turn :-)

oh god if you have no kids DEFINATELY the train. Without kids it will be actually enjoyable! Re the tickets they go up a lot in price the closer you get to the date-and it can be a LOT, like £150 each as opposed to £30. Sure you can book from abroad-you usually have a collect at station option. TBH if all else failed and the train turned out to be amazingly stupidly expensive there is a coach too, and its fine, and much cheaper. 

The rift is five minutes walk from the Dr Who experience and very easy to find. The entrance to the Torchwod hub is also easy to find as it is plastered with "Ianto lives" graffiti, messages and so on :-). There is actually almost no signposting in Cardiff for unofficial Dr Who/Sherlock stuff, for some reason, so its worth checking into this stuff before you arrive.

They seemed to film quite a lot down there for the first few seasons, so the church in "Fathers Day", the estate where Rose lives (mainly). Torchwood tends to film a lot in Cardiff centre, its rarer for them to film local to the hub, but the centre is a short train ride away.

Oh also just realised they are now filiming Sherlock at Roath Lock studios, I believe. Think you'd be able to see them at least from the "hub"-they are pretty distinctive/

Ok I am a Londoner living in Cardiff. My 2c

Really no point drivving in London. The public transport system is excellent and cheap and driving is discouraged anyway with the congestion charge. The Tube is a lot of fun but my tip would bo to make sure you also take buses and overground trains because that's a really good way to see London as well. 

Cardiff to London is doable, I do it all the time. It depends on your budget but the train is quick, around 2-3 hours, and takes you into central Cardiff. There are times to take the train and times not-say if you want more info (basically, try to go off peak and/or upgrade to first class-its pretty cheap to do this) . To get cheap intercity tickets you can book in advance. I've been to London and back for £20 but that's booking aeons in advance and a fixed ticket. Depending on how many kids you have, a family railcard might be cheaper.What I'd say is that if you have Doctor Who fans, Cardiff might well be worth a visit. Its location shots are mainly filmed here and a fair number of the locations are easily accessible from the station. I'd have thought there would be a tour actually. That might be the point at which renting a car (with sat nav!) would be worthwhile. You could do a lot of Dr Who locations in a day, certainly, the city is crammed with them (my kids are better at spotting them than me!) . There's the Dr Who experience too, which is easy enough to get to. Sherlock is a bit different. There certainly are locations you could go to and several of them are central (eg the museum) but because London is so important in Sherlock, a lot of the location filming happens there while afaik a lot of the Cardiff filming is studio work. I don't think you can do any kind of tours and tbh, if the studio is where I think it is its not very interesting to drive past or anything. Cardiff really hasn't jumped on either the Dr Who or Sherlock tourism bandwagon at all, its all there but you have to do the legwork.
