I first saw Amazing Grace, not for BC but for Ioan Gruffyd, having been a Hornblower fan from the collection of novels by C.S. Forrester ( another doctor turned author), and then from Star Trek into Darkness. At first I was quite appalled ( dear Sir Humohrey Appleby, I do so miss Nigel Hawthorne) when my friend at the cinema whispered that the guy was playing in a modernised version of Sherlock Holmes. End result, here I am, pestering all and sundry with my opinions! Have a flaming :dragon:!

 

Same here! I loved those Hornblower movies. I liked Ioan Gruffyd in the Fantastic Four movies, too.

 

He's in a new TV show here in the States, but alas, it's an obvious rip-off of Sherlock, and I find it irritating more than enjoyable. I still watch it sometimes, though, just because he's in it.

BC won another award, this time the TV Choice best actor award, which he arranged for his parents to accept (Sherlock also won the best drama award ):   http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-09-09/be

Someone did. I think this set of gifs summarize it quite well.

I love what Ben's face is doing when he tries not to laugh.

Still waiting to catch up on this.

The trailer sounded fab and everybody says it was great.

It is 2 actors, Benedict Cumberbatch and Loo Brealey, reading 2 roles.

Neither of them are called Sherlock or Molly!

But of course. :)   Now if they were to actually create a story around the case "The Naval Treatment" (or create a new story), we could have Sherlock quoting Shakespeare while being undercover.  That would be fun.

I wouldn't put it past them!

 

Neither would I.  This is Moftiss we are talking about.

Nope, nope, nope! They threw away any chance of the Naval Treaty being done, as a gag for exiting the theatre and grabbing the accursed ear-hat as a disguise (as if) and using Harisson's name in TGG, as the culprit's for stealing the USB flash!

They really don't seem to be averse to using a story more than once, though.  As you say, they borrowed the villain's name from "The Naval Treaty" for "Great Game," then also made that "Navel Treatment" pun in "Scandal in Belgravia."  They borrowed Holmes's pocket-watch deduction (turning it into Sherlock's cell-phone deduction) from Sign of the Four to use in "Study in Pink," then borrowed much of Sign's plot for "The Blind Banker," and finally used a couple of character names (and the adapted title) for "Sign of Three."

 

As the producers of another show* are fond of saying, "They use every part of the buffalo."

Every time I see this thread has a new response now I think, "This is it!  Baby!!!"

 

This is the new Sherlocked thread for me (I gave up on Sherlocked USA).
