Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
I know people keep saying this and I also know I keep asking...what else have they lied about?!
We'll soon know about Moriarty...
Oh yes, TAB being stand alone...they kind of had to lie on that.

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
Profile of Moffat.
Frequently throws out red herrings to the spoiler-loving press, calling it "
". He also unabashedly and gleefully lies, teases, and generally drives the fanbases of his shows insane. For instance, he kept the fact that his massively-popular show Sherlock was already commissioned for a third series a year earlier until after the final episode of series 2 aired with a shocking ending, even for those familiar with Holmes lore.

Mysterious tweet by Arwel:
-----------------------------------
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?

Nooooo! Not again! I watched TAB yesterday (again). When you see him from behind in the plane seat, the wig is quite visible. The hair does look a bit synthetic.

I may have to add that to my list in the 'what the fandom means to me' thing, people talking about curls! Ha.

The curls are paramount.

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
Was this in answer to my deleted post? I could not find a source and therefore deleted it. If I find it somewhere, I will post it again. Sorry.

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
lol You people exploded about my comment while my head was turned! I'm pretty sure he'll be using his real hair, if recent photos are any indication, but there are wig stands, and several of them at that. Even if one is for Benedict, there's still enough stands for more, but I don't know who they would be for. Unless there's a Victorian flashback that they need them for, but I doubt that.

Well, they're certainly not 'biggest' at the moment - but I think they're growing as fast as they can. :D

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
Indeed.
And the curls are a highly sensitive subject.

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
Returning to Hiddles for a sec: It seems he has denied he'll be in "Sherlock" during an interview very recently:
Of course there always is the possibility that he's as much of a liar as everybody else on the show...

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
I don't think they're allowed to say anything, if they are in it.
So the only options are: silence, constant' No comments', or lying.
I believe it's called being Spoiler-free.

Re: sherlock series 4 (spoilers inside)
I doubt he would be allowed to confirm it if it was true... but yeah, it would be nice if it was.
He does have the cheekbones...
