Despite one dodgy question and one dodgy answer...
I got 100%.

Good for you! I got 93%.
I guessed on the magician question (I don't remember there being one in the first episode of series 3) and the Lucky Cat question.
A lot of the questions were easy, but those two were asking about things I didn't remember at all.
I was pretty sure that Amanda and Martin weren't actually married, but I also clicked "yes" that they were because I had a feeling there was a mistake in the question (or the person writing the quiz didn't realize that while they were a couple they weren't actually married).

Yep, Amanda and Martin's relationship status was indeed one of the dodgy things!
Derren Brown is SO much more than a magician, but a personal friend of Martin's, I think.
I just remember the shop keeper going on and on about 'just £10'.

I had forgotten about the "just ten pounds" thing, and I think I just didn't know about Darren Brown or him being in the episode.

Derren Brown, darling...
He's the guy who 'puts John to sleep', after Sherlock leaps from St Bart's roof.

Oh, that guy. I guess I just assumed he was some background actor. Didn't know he was famous in any way.

**Posted by besleybean** November 2, 2019 9:06 pm

Oh yes and a personal fave of mine.

He does do hypnotism type acts, but also quite elaborate setups where somebody is supposedly led to believe something that isn't true - some of his scenarios are quite disturbing. So as well as being a friend, I think he was a fun choice to have in Anderson's version - Sherlock's fall was a step too far, but still along the lines of something he might do!

A whole new layer to this I never knew about!

Excuse me?
Martin Freeman was the only ever actor who played John, in BBC Sherlock...pilot or otherwise.

Did you perhaps reply to the wrong thread? Or was there a spam post before yours that got deleted?

**Posted by besleybean** March 3, 2024 6:49 am

It was early...
But I think I did,
I mean, i just would have followed the reply link.
The subject would fit the thread title, too.
I mean I have been known to reply on the wrong thread...
but I think on this occasion, there has been a deletion!

**Posted by Liberty** March 3, 2024 9:12 am

Ah sorry, I deleted a spam post. I'm quite ruthless with them! If I remember it, it had what looked like a dodgy link in the post. You were on the correct thread, BB! Can't remember the content exactly but your reply made sense when the post was here: sorry!

**Posted by besleybean** March 3, 2024 11:56 am

No, worries.
Just nice to be vindicated!

**Posted by Yitzock** March 5, 2024 2:51 am

I had a feeling that might have been the case. Sorry if I sounded accusatory before, it was not my intention. I was just momentarily confused.

**Posted by besleybean** March 5, 2024 5:27 am

Ah no worrie sand likewise, sorry if I came over a bit snippy!

**Posted by Liberty** March 5, 2024 7:31 am

I don't think any of us came across as snippy or anything, although I do admit I'm not very good at reading tone! Anyway, my fault ... maybe next time if somebody has replied to a post I'll mention if I delete it. We sometimes get a flood of spam posts, and particularly if there are links I like to get rid before somebody clicks on them. At least this one had made an effort to be Sherlock related, although it was way off the mark!

Or off the Martin, actually!

Genuinely laughing out loud at this!
