Here's a link to a German newspaper article about filming "The Fifth Estate" in Berlin. The ruin shown in the pic is a former department store and cultural centre. It says they also film in the conference centre, at Berlin Cathedral and Reichstag (parliament).

I hope she's been reading this. I know all the places where they're filming. Wish I was there. 

I'd love to. But it's nearly 600 km. Ice and snow. Half-renovated flat. I fear my husband wouldn't understand if I went.

When I wanted to go there yesterday, he said: I want the divorce. My wife is in love with a British actor.

I reminded him of the looong ways he takes to see music bands he likes.

He calmed down. ;-)

Oh, he's a clever guy. But I'm glad you managed to calm him down. Benedict would be very sad to hear he destroyed your marriage. 
 

I see, another long-suffering husband. My husband's very patient, too, but then I try not to talk about this all the time. And he watches every Star Trek film so this shouldn't be a problem. And he loves Tolkien, so he's fine with The Hobbit as well. And he likes Sherlock (not quite as much as me but it's fine). 

Oh, you should do this for him. I'm sure his eyes are - nearly - as beautiful as Benedict's. 

Well that's just great! I wasn't in Berlin from Friday afternoon until noon today. Is he still here? In the afternoon I was in a British restaurant in Kreuzberg, but no Mr Cumberbatch.

  It is called East London (who would have thought  ) It's lovely, tasty food, very friendly service. I like the interior (even the toilets )  http://eastlondon.de  

I checked out their website, fully expecting everything to be in German, but delighted to see everything, including the menus, were written in BritEnglish, so I could read it. Food looks good. That Sunday roast thing sounds intriguing. Not sure what loud and silent water is (on the non-alcoholic beverage menu). Lots of drinks I'd never heard of, but I at least knew what the food choices all were, at least I think so. Is the place owned by Brits?

Do you know of any American-style restaurants in Berlin? Not McDonald's, I don't mean that, but real sit-down restaurants? I'd be real curious to see what they serve.
