@blenkinsopthebrave and @pedant     I was sad to hear of another legend gone. Chuck Berry was an original who inspired so many artists through the years. Whenever I hear Johnny be Good it takes me back to school dances  and other good memories which is what great music should do. It always got the kids on to the dance floor. He also had some cool…[Read more]

Thank you for those words of encouragement; it feels good to be back in the groove 🙂 The only problem is that I’m not very good at multi-tasking and once I am immersed in a project of this kind it tends to occupy most of my waking hours. Yesterday I even grudged the time I spent on some necessary…[Read more]

Thank you for those words of encouragement; it feels good to be back in the groove 🙂  The only problem now is that I am not very good at multi-tasking, and once I am immersed in this kind of project it tends to occupy almost all my waking hours. Yesterday I even grudged the time I spent on some n…[Read more]

Thank you for those words of encouragement;  it feels good to be back in the groove. The only problem is that I am not very good at multi-tasking, and when I’m immersed in a research project it tends to become a full-time affair consuming most of my waking hours. Yesterday I even grudged the time I t…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave  Excellent example — thanks for reminding me.

@pedant  Sorry to hear about the Fisher King . . .

@mudlark   A new project — super!  I’m still ruminating on my dreams these days, feeling that, yes, there’s a new story in there someplace, trying to get out . . .

@blenkinsopthebrave   I’d love to see more historical adventures, keeping in mind that the research and costuming must be pretty difficult and expensive to do on the sort of sc…[Read more]

@missrori:

Or the memory wipe is lifted and he can be happily reunited with Clara….or River Song? Unlikely.

@blenkinsopthebrave:

It  doesn’t matter. Here is as good as anywhere.

@blenkinsopthebrave @thane15 @craig @juniperfish

Many thanks for the kind welcome and best wishes. Much appreciated. I hope you’ll forgive me when I have to drop out of conversation though. Things are still difficult and I’m really hoping that they’ll be better by the time the good Doctor returns in April. And hugs are always welcome Craig.

Did you miss me? 😉

Firstly, a question to all the writers on the forum (of which we have an embarrassment of riches). If we consider the intertextuality of Sherlock and Doctor Who (the deliberate and pointed exchange of ideas between the two) does the fact that they are written in parallel preclude them being considered hypertexts? Is there a…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave homemade Jammy Dodgers sound good. For the past few series our local supermarket has stocked the read thing just in time for the first episode. I suspect the manager is a fan. I might try making some this year, along with bad souffle. Recent series have not really added anything to the menu. I don’t think canned tomato soup,…[Read more]

Was depressed all day yesterday after seeing the news. I really hoped PC would do one more series with Chibnell. I have to say I am not optimistic for the future of our favourite TV series right now. Trying not to make comparisons with old Who.

I was annoyed with the Guardian last night. they ran an article quoting comments from BTL and picked…[Read more]

That’s very kind @blenkinsopthebrave although I may disappear again until the new series starts.  Fingers crossed there may be some kind of story arc this time – you know for us to start theorising about.

@chickenelly and@blenkinsopthebrave:

You are entitled to your opinions like the rest of us.

It was meant as a romp and it was.

@juniperfish; I’ve just posted that on the NEWS thread.

@TheConsultingDoctor – Ah – but that’s one of the great conundrums of this BBC Sherlock adaptation – it’s NOT 1895 any longer (1895 was the year of the Wilde trials).

@Blenkinsopthebrave

Well, your reading is quite lovely and is certainly in the spirit of narratives within narratives, which I definitely think is the theme of the season. I really…[Read more]

Excellent @Blenkinsopthebrave – a convert!

Incidentally, if anyone is interested, it has been kicking off on Twitter, as young LGBT fans explain why they didn’t appreciate the way S4 was marketed to imply a John/ Sherlock relationship, but the BBC has responded to complaints by denying there has ever been any sexual or romantic interest displayed…[Read more]

@TheConsultingDoctor – heh “The Tower” – Sherlock still has a dragon to slay then, in order to rescue his “damsel in distress” John Watson…

The @contactSH twitter account, which I swear is show-run undercover (it links to the official para-text Sherlock blog “The Science of Deduction”) has Sherlock tweeting “”It ain;t over ’til the fat lady…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   Tea’s good, too, isn’t it?  (I’m on wine, myself, at the rather late moment).  I do hope you and @juniperfish and there IS a fourth installment.  That would be so god damn cool — and sly, and really, really, clever.

And bonkers!  Yes, and hurrah!
