Rewatching Season 1 to prepare for this awesome reveal.

So am I! Just watched The Blind Banker. Can't wait for this figure!!

 

[Captain Britain]

Mark Gatiss's finest moment was definitely The Great Game. I've been consistently disappointed by his Doctor Who scripts so when this turned up - 90 minutes of genius - I wasn't just mesmerised I was really pleased for him. I could die happy if I'd written something like that.

Which reminds me - we need a Golem action figure!

I'd also love expansion packs with some of the best props from the series - like the pictures from the Great Game and The Blind Banker,the Baker Street sign, even the dog from The Hounds of Baskerville. I could see a great World of Sherlock diorama coming out of that...

Just got around to watching all 6 episodes.
Good god that was awesome. Episodes 1 and 3 of season 2 are some of the best TV ever....

 

[Captain Britain]

I found episodes 1 and 3 of both series to be the best, but having said that, the least good episodes are still brilliant. Any chance of some news BC? Even a cryptic photo is better than the, er, blurred photos we've been looking at... it would be great to know how long we have to wait!

OMG!!! How did I miss this thread? This is very exciting announcement!!! I will definitely be in for the pair!!! One of my favourite TV shows ever.

A little bird told me Trevor sculpted these not sure if true or not.

This book looks like it could be fun, although I'd prefer the scripts:

It seems to be like a Sherlock Annual for grown ups! There's also going to be a calendar this year.

Is anyone doing high-end Hobbit figures? A BCS Watson might be popular for customs...

 

[JonWes]

That book looks fun. I wonder if it'll be like the "Brilliant Book" that Doctor Who puts out.

Here's a nice famly activity to pass the time whilst we are waiting. A set of downloadable Sherlock cut outs. My two girls are nearly as big fans as I am so we will be sitting down to cut out paper Irene Adlers this weekend.

[Captain Britain]

Thanks for the link. How old are your two if they still do cutting out but can watch Sherlock?!?

 

[Mau]

I'm 45 and still cutting out! Never lose sight of the inner child. Isn't that why we are all obsessively waiting on the release of yet more action figures?

They are 8 and 11, so we still get the "Why is he doing that?" continual questioning from the younger one, but they love the series, as well they should.

They're reading the original stories and novels too I hope. Id read the all the stories by the time I was 11 or so. Im glad our school system encouraged us to read classics from a young age and I think we had one of the cases (Silver Blaze probably) on our term evaluations when we were 12 or so...

Those who have read all the stories enjoy the series a LOT more, Im sure of that, because the references and homages are not lost on them...

Wow, you read them all when you were 11? I think I only finish the first compilation (Adventures of Sherlock Holmes when I was that age).

Shame to say at 28, I still haven't finish them all (mainly because I never want it to end. I cannot imagine a world without Sherlock Holmes stories), I rather re-read stories again and again.

Very true about the reference. It is so much more enjoyable due to all the nods to the stories. One of my favourite is the Hounds of Baskerville, the lamp signal that Watson was trying to decipher. So funny!!!

 

[Mau]

For my kids, the intro to the books was this series (and a little Robert Downey Junior, but the least said about that the better). My partner and I had all the books already so we have been working through them steadily as bedtime stories. I got into the books at about 10 years of age, so I see no reason why I shouldn't inflict them on my kids at approximately the same age. Thankfully, they are enjoying them.

 

[Something Sexy]

I will be watching this!

Yeah, because I was a huge detective crime buff... I tried my hand at Agatha Christie ones but probably because of my age I didnt have the patience, and it took me another 2 years or so to start liking Agath Christie stuff.
Great thing about Sherlock is that it can be read and understood and enjoyed by kids an adults alike.

Ive read and re read them so much over all the years. Frankly I think I really got hooked into it at a young age because my aunt had the bound collection with Sidney Paget's illustrations. And that book had Adventures, Memoirs, Hounds, and Return in it...

Starting with the short stories along with those great pictures helped keep the patience of my young mind then.

Probably the reason why I had disliked Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four and Valley of Fear as I read them later...

Spoiler

Another thing in that UMQRA light signal was that woman in the car says 'Oh Mr. Barrymore, you've done it again' Now someone who hasnt read the original will not understand the nod, nor the choice of names of Stapleton or Frankland. Or how the antagonist goes down in the Great Grimpen 'Minefield'
