BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Articles or reviews about The Abominable Bride

I thought it might be an idea to have a thread for links to articles and reviews about TAB, as I didn't know where to post this one:

Jill Hipson, a deaf BSL (British Sign Language) tutor, writes about her experience teaching sign language to the cast for the scene with Wilder at the Diogenes Club.

Oh yes, excellent article! Thank you for sharing! And, as nakahara said, a very good idea for a thread!

A good review here

Including a timeline of movies that contributed to "Benedict Cumberbatch's rise to stardom" at the end of the article.

Nice article, Swanpride, that's also really how I felt about it but you said it a million times better.

I really enjoyed this review I think the writer really got it , and she mentions that ACD was buried standing up ( didnt know that ) and links to a nice page about Doyle. Her summation uses the phrase "off his tits " and some of the dunderheaded comments are unintentionally very funny.

A bit late for reviews on this but just stumbled over this one and it has a new take and some really interesting ideas and information on TAB from the Gothic angle.

Late to the party here, but here goes: What was the red letter message during final credits of TAB? My DVR didn't record the last few seconds as well as the final credits. Thanks!

Cor blimey, cannae mind now! That is ancient history, after all. Ha.
Wasn't it something to do with clue about S 4 episodes?
Anyhow, they are all done and dusted now.

Sorry, I do not remember this one. I read that the red letters in end PBS end credits of The Final Problem spell the word ANEMOI but I have no idea about the special.

**Posted by besleybean** February 6, 2018 4:39 pm

Yeah, I honestly couldn't remember...

**Posted by Yitzock** February 7, 2018 4:09 pm

Me, neither. Sorry about that. I could look on the episode on Netflix?

**Posted by JP** February 7, 2018 7:53 pm

I don't remember what the message was, but it had to be something done by BBC. My DVD credits have no red letters.
