BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Official BBC Shop Merchandise

**Posted by TeeJay** April 14, 2014 6:41 am

According to the Sherlockology Tumblr, the BBC Shop has just added a new Sherlock mug to their collection:

There's already a similar one you can buy, which has "Consulting Detective" as a subtitle, and which is red on the inside. Apparently this new one is now up for pre-order, although somehow the BBC Shop website seems to be down at the moment, so I can't verify this.

I really like this new one, but I already have way too many fandom mugs, so I'm going to try very hard not to order it. *sigh*

Ooh, this is beautiful.. I can definitely see myself sipping coffee from that.. but I already spent so much money on Sherlock merchandise, I really shouldn´t.. gnah! *Sits on her hands*

The mug is really beautiful, I've got the other one and it's quite an eye-catcher. I'm really tempted to... oh well...

I have the other one too, and I'm so tempted to get this one too! I think they'd look nice together....

I also have the other one and I'm not tempted at all ...

where can I pay???????????????

gently:

Yes, they would look really nice together...

Yeah, I've been thinking... they should really do a third one in another colour, and then I'd order two each to have a nice china (or rather mug) set for visitors. Though that's a bit dear just for fun, isn't it... Plus, I don't have that many fandom friends who'd fully appreciate a beautiful Sherlock mug. *double sigh*

It really is quite attractive. I've not seen the other one. What does it look like?

This is the red one:

If this mug has yellow smiley face on the other side it would be prefect.

**Posted by TeeJay** May 7, 2014 6:04 pm

I doubt that it has, but I can't say for sure.

I've got the first one (the red one). This one looks great too, but I don't know, I think it looks more "classy" in red

Does anyone know if there is an actual BBC shop in London where you can buy the merchandise directly? In my hometown there is a big german tv station and we have a merchandise shop in the city center!

Afaik there is none. I went to BBC headquarters with my London friend only to find - a shelf with Dr Who mugs and some staff who advised us to order online .
While the other shops in the regional BBC offices still seem to exist.

Oh, that´s too bad, but thank you for the information, I guess I have to order online then!

You're welcome. We couldn't believe it - doesn't make any sense. But we got to see a dalek, though, and could see where the British weather is being made

It's such a pity that these mugs were apparently exclusive to the UK BBC shop which is closing down in a few days. They are beautifully designed, and you can't see the detail or quality until you get one in your hand. The main wallpaper design actually has a raised pattern and it's a subtle gloss brown on a matt black background, you simply can't see that from the online images. Plus each section of wallpaper features a different Sherlock image, the Union Flag, 221B, a violin, a skull, Big Ben, a gun etc. They were just awesome and the Sherlock version came with either a blue, red or purple interior and the Moriarty version with yellow only. I've very grateful to have acquired one of each.
