Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)
Yes. This happened to my brother in rural enland about 35 years ago. A teacher refused to let him write left handed as he was naturally complaining he would smear the ink-, fountain pens . Later she and the old biddies gossiped that the word sinister means left handed and springs from lucifer being at the left hand of god before he fell , also mentioned in Miltons Paradise lost about gods red right hand ( bloody ) .
My brother still is very awkward using scissors or opening tins and writing and moans about this happening to him . Bit of a family joke that he is from the devil.
Very wierd if this is true about John . Fascinating.

I have always written with my left hand but I can do everything else with right or left.
Guess I'm just an odd duck.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)
I wouldn't really like to speculate on specifics with members of the Sherlock team.
But they have all stated in public that they love doing the show.
Who can blame them?

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)
According to IMDB: Helen Bradbury played Archie's mum. Stephanie Hyam played the maid Jane.

Thanks ukaunz.
Did think of imdb but thought they would not be listed as so small parts.

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)
Mary was able to hack MI5 to find out about Emilia Ricoletti, which seemed a strange thing for them to keep in their records. Is this because MI5 keeps a database of ways in which a person might be able to fake their death believably? Mycroft and Sherlock were certainly able to come up with a lot of possible options for Sherlock's fall.

Was this for some reference made about the state of his eyes, with regard to his ill health?

Re: The Abominable Bride (for those who have seen it)
That's very cool. I hadn't really noticed that specific detail, even though I knew he looked very different.
Clueing for looks.

Wonderful! And of course something that Sherlock would "detect"!
I think there's a lot about the relationship between the brothers in TAB. Sherlock betting on Mycroft's death is quite sinister, even though I like to think he loves him in "real life".
