Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Sherlocked USA is getting so close!
Wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for questions to ask the guests. 
I've been pondering and would be interested to see what others would ask.
The guests are:
Stephen and Mark
Sue
Alistair Petrie
Andrew Scott
Arwell Jones
Amanita Abbington
Wanda and Timothy!
Louis Moffat
and Unna
What would you ask them if you had the chance??

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Great question to ask us, Tonnaree ... and my mind has gone completely blank! I'm sure there is loads I would love to ask and I'll get my thinking cap on.
I can't wait to hear all the news from the convention! Have a wonderful time!

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Have fun!!
Of course I would ask them if they have ideas for new episodes and which stories they would like to tackle. And I would tell them that I would love to see Sherlock vs Baron Gruner from The Illustrious Client who is an amazing baddie. And I would ask if they are going to do another special, maybe as an alternative to S5 or to bridge a long gap.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
After much pondering I have decided that, if there were a miracle and Ben were there, I would ask him to talk about his project involving the Patrick Melrose novels.

Great idea. I am very excited for those.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Me too, but he's so busy I doubt he'll make it.
But you have Andrew.
So who cares?!

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
He definitely is.
As I mentioned in another thread before, Andrew even convinced people at that MagicCon who asked "What is he doing here?" before they experienced him on stage and during autograph and photo sessions.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Andrew is wonderful. But I do care if Benedict is there or not. It's a once in a life time chance for me.
I know the chance is not good. But at the last event he came for one day and it wasn't even announced until 4 days before the convention. So, it's not completely impossible. I'm certainly not counting on it and I know the convention will be amazing regardless, but I will hold onto my tiny thread of hope until the last minute.

Of course. I would lie if I wouldn't think the same, tonnaree. I keep the fingers crossed.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
I hope very much he will be there. Personally I would very much prefer to see Benedict. I like Andrew but I am not a fan.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
I think Benedict will always be my favourite actor.
But on a personal level, I love Andrew and Mark so much.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Andrew is great - even if he was a bit less enthusiastic by the second Sherlocked - after two hours of sleep and with a jetlag he hardly could keep his eyes open, but was still a joy to meet.
And to my surprise Alistair is such fun. Absolutely hilarious and crazy in a positive way.

JP, do you have a question you would ask Alistair?

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
From what I saw on Tumblr, Alistair is lovely with the fans.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention
Not really. Plus I could ask him anything on Twitter. I just didn't expect someone that funny and approachable after seeing him in Sherlock and The Night Manager.
