Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

I just read that TAB was aired one day too late to be eligible for a Bafta TV Award nomination

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

Yeah, but don't they normally just shunt it in to the following year?
I actually thought they had to air by about November, for the earlier year...if you know what I mean!
Oh no, think I'm getting confused with the NTAs- cos they are held in Jan, aren't they?

Anyhow, glad this thread popped up again...
I messaged the Boss about this:
Remember when we saw Chris(Speedy's manager) in Victorian costume- but we ever actually saw him in TAB, did we?
Was he one of the people on the street, do you think?
Last time I saw him, I very nearly said: "can't wait to see you in the Special"- so I was rather glad I didn't!

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

Yes, I think it will be eligible next year. It has happened before but I think it is a bit of a disadvantage. There is so much time between the airing and the awards that it may have been forgotten until then. As far as I know, every programme airing between 1 January and 31 December will become eligible the following year, so it is 2017 for TAB. 

Sorry, cannot remember seeing him.

Yes we have to wait for the TV Baftas in 2017, although I don't think they'll get a nomination, at least not in the actor categories.

Why not? Just curious.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

I do believe the same thing happened to HLV.  It aired in January and had to wait a year for the BFTAs and the Emmys.  It did very well in the awards.  Ben, Martin and Steven all three won Emmys.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

Yes and everyone went nuts when the 2014 nominees were announced until someone explained it's because of some changes and we have to wait for the 2015 awards.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

Well, I wish them every possible award because they deserve it but, honestly, I am not to keen on the BAFTAs. They have treated series 3 and especially Benedict quite shabbily. I would not be surprised if he never got a BAFTA for Sherlock, even if he played the part until he was old and grey. I was so happy about the recognition HLV got at the Emmys. But with Benedict I always get the feeling that he gets a nomination because they simply cannot ignore him - apart from Parade's End, that is - but that for some reason that eludes me he never gets the award. Is there anyone else with five nominations and no win? (Sorry for the rant but BAFTA makes me really angry).

I hope he doesn't end up being the Susan Lucci of the BAFTAs.  She was a soap opera actress in the US, playing the same role in "All My Children", Erica Kane, for decades. She was nominated for a Best Actress in a Daytime Drama Emmy 18 times, before finally winning 1999.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

This is awful. 

Maybe he will be lucky with Hollow Crown.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

Watching TAB again, I was struck by the inscription on Emilia Ricoletti's grave:

BELOVED SISTER
FAITHFUL BEYOND DEATH

Beloved sister: her only sibling had died four years before. Would those who buried her and paid for the headstone put "beloved sister" if she didn't have a living sibling? Why not "beloved daughter and sister"?

Faithful beyond death: Who was she faithful to beyond death? Not her bastard brute of a husband, surely?

But who would have buried Emilia and paid for her headstone? Probably the sisterhood of "brides". So she is their beloved sister, and they are faithful to her beyond her death. I like this detail

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

And Moriarty's people are going to be faithful to his memory?

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

But who could 'Moriarty's people' be anyway? Of course, he has his close contacts but can anybody imagine him being in a group or something? It does look like someone is now using his image to spread fear, but there's no sentimentality on their side as it was with the sisterhood of the brides.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)

I agree. I would not draw any parallels between Moriarty's network and the sisterhood of the brides. Because in Sherlock's mind Moriarty is NOT one of the brides, he just uses the disguise. He is not one of the women taking desperate immoral measures to fight a righteous cause, he just hides in their middle. 

What is also interesting in this context is why it is Mary of all people who leads Sherlock to the brides (who actually should be her sisters, instead she chooses to betray them) while at the same time triggering the Moriarty appearance and the following Reichenbach scene. In the end we could say it is Mary who sets a chain of events in motion which results in "There's always two of us".
