Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Thank you, Vhanja.
I know that she said on 2nd November...I was wondering what time of the day, though.
Don't think it would be such a good reason to not do the class on that day, not even if the headmistress's a Sherlock fan as well (and I don't have the slightest idea as to that.) I might have to bribe friends (well, I say "friends"...) to do it in my stead if it's any time during the day -.-
Anyway, I'll keep my eyes peeled to sherlockology's website.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
So when they say "one-off screening", do you think that means one session only, on the day it premieres? If this is the case, it's not looking very likely that I'll get to see it at the cinema

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
This is how I understand it, too. Which is a bit sad regarding the special content. There will not be too many people who are able to see it. It would be nice to include it in the DVD extras.

Or they can release it online, some time in summer, so we have something to have fun with during the Next Waiting Period

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I bet in a few months after the DVD is released, they will release a Special Edition DVD with the extra stuff...
Marketing methods and all that...

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
So have they screened previous Sherlock episodes on the big screen, and if so, what sort of extras were shown? Or have they only done special screenings with the producers and cast with q&a's afterwards? I hope my question makes sense. I understand some DW episodes have been screened at the cinema in the past too, with "extras". Did these ever show up on the DVD? (I've seen a couple on YouTube that looked like they were filmed by someone sitting in the theatre)

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
There have never been screenings on this scale before. They showed ASIB at an event and TEH at the British Film Institute followed by a Q&A with the team before the aired on TV. But they never showed any episodes in cinemas all over the country.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
No clue if I'll ever get a chance for it in the theater around here, but…. yay! Was really appreciating the links to pics and transcript, but I didn't see anyone post the BBC youtube channel link? Maybe the aussie one was just that much earlier and everyone was going crazy over that. 
Yaaaaay!

"This one."
"Why?"
"You're Sherlock Holmes, wear the damn hat!"
Watson's line always cracks me up -though I'm pretty sure it won't when watching the episode, I doubt the context allows it much. Aaaaah, can't wait!

I badly want this thing to come to the Netherlands. I don't care that we always do family visits the first of January, surely the family can miss me this time.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
yeah, the tension between them could be heartbreaking and that line could be some form of comic relief trying not to get it too over the top sad and... ugh.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I bet the thing will not be broadcasted by any of the cinemas in my country. 
I have a hunch I will turn completely monstrous during January 1-st.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

True. But I just felt like stating the obvious :-P

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
So assuming it will be the same date in the cinema in Canada as in the US...either I'm waiting to watch it on the big screen the first time, or I will end up watching it on TV initially, then the theatre, and then maybe the encore broadcast on Masterpiece as well. My parents may think I'm nuts if I tell them that, but then again maybe I am and maybe it's a good quality.
