Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

Sherlocked USA will be back in 2018! I take this as a sign that the show is not over. Doing three cons after the "end" which has never been officially announced would be a bit weird. 

The announcement:

SHERLOCKED USA is returning to Los Angeles in 2018!
We are very pleased to announce that due to having so much fun at our first Sherlocked USA event, we are coming back to LA!
We had previously announced that we thought this would be unlikely but after the guests enjoyed themselves so much and so many of you clearly had a great time and asked us to return, how could we say no? 🙂
More details will be released very soon, (we hope in the next week or so), but we wanted to let all our North American followers know as soon as we knew that we're coming back to see you with lots more Sherlocked fun! 🙂

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

My thoughts exactly, Susi!

Of course it could just be explained as a decision to make a bit more money but I prefer to think that another convention more than a year after series 4 aired indicates that the makers still consider the show an ongoing project.


Regarding the upcoming event in Birmingham, I really hope that I will be able to go. Sadly my father passed away a month ago so my current focus is of course my family, especially my dear mother. Until last week I didn’t even think that I would like to attend a convention under these circumstances but in the last few days my mood has somewhat changed and I am slowly returning to my normal activities. Maybe a weekend away would actually help me to feel better. Plus I have already booked my ticket and hotel package back in January so now I only need to pay for the flights.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

I am very sorry to hear that. If you want my opinion - if you think it would be good for you to go and do something nice for yourself, you should go.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

I concur, Susi.
Diva, I lost my husband 2 months ago and I felt just like you: we had a London trip booked and initially I thought I just wouldn't go.  But I am now very glad that I am going.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

So I have been waiting for new guest announcements (I am not going but of course I am interested to see who will be there). Two days to go and as of now Benedict, Martin, Mark, and Amanda will not be present. I think this is a first, especially where Mark is concerned. Bit strange if you ask me.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

Sorry, no...wish I was!
Have never been to any of the events.
Personally I find a weekend trip down to England a bit hashing, especially across country.
Pathetic, I know!
But factually it's actually easier(and much quicker) to get to London from here than it is is to travel to the Midlands...and I wouldn't do London in a weekend!

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

I'm sure it will be great, but looking at the programme it seems to me to be a little bit disappointing for the price?  The usual suspects are not attending, but isn't it more expensive than the last London one?   I would love to see the stars who are attending (especially the talk with Louise and Sian!), but I'm just getting the feeling the organisers are squeezing money out of people, without having as much to offer as the previous ones.  No Mark, Steven, Benedict, Amanda, Andrew, Una, etc.  It's great to have Rachel Talalay, but she only directed one episode - there is nobody else from "behind the scenes" scheduled.   I suppose these events cost a lot to put on and maybe they can't drop the price just because they don't have the major guests - but I do feel it might be disappointing for people who bought far in advance and were waiting for announcements.

Anyway, I've never been to one of these events, so maybe the price is pretty standard for a whole weekend.  And maybe having different people at the talks gives a chance to have a different view on the show.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

I assume this is why they are winding the events up, if the stars are no longer available or just not interested...
But yeah, I would have loved to have heard Loo and Sian, too.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

Well, it still went better than I thought. I decided to do the first one because I expected it might be the only one ever.

Re: Sherlocked - The Official Sherlock Convention

Good move.
