Re: Favourite Martin pics
That seems to have worked just fine, KeepersPrice -- but what a curious picture! What in heaven's name is it from???

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I don't know. Found it somehow on Tumblr and thought it was funny.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I assume it's related to Martin/John being made of kittens.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
OK, that could well be what the person meant on Tumblr -- but I seriously doubt that it's what the photo was originally intended to convey!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Do you notice the buttonhole on each of his suit cuffs, the one nearest his wrist, has red over stitching? A bit like the over stitching on Ben's Belstaff coat buttonhole.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
BBC Books' forthcoming Sherlock: The Casebook has a terrific shot of John Watson on the back cover. (On the actual cover, the photo is to be holographic!)
The book is already available for pre-ordering from Amazon.co.uk -- and yes, they will ship to just about anywhere (I've been ordering from them for years).

I'm just hoping that one of the theaters around here will have a 12:01 a.m. showing of The Hobbit on the 14th!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Thank you for posting that without the usual juxtaposed kitten! (It's a very fine kitten, but it should go find its own forum.)
Any idea where the photo is from?

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Here's my favourite John moment from The Blind Banker:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
The funny gif that Wholocked posted above is one of Freeman's many characters from Bruiser, a comedy-skit program that he did in 2000. The UK Amazon has it as a Region 2 DVD -- another reason for the rest of us to get a region-free DVD player!

He looks very daring and heroic in this picture.
