I have no idea how this happened....!!!

[Ally]

....but it has!!!

After moaning about the weirdness of Benedict Cabbagepatch somehow, somehow, he has wormed his way into my affections in the guise of Sherlock Holmes!

Last week Don updated all the software for the TV channels and I found myself watching the very first episode of Sherlock....and I am hooked!!!

[Kaz]

Oh oh, looks like I'm alone in the BC Weirdo corner then!! My sister went to see him in Hamlet on Friday, apparently he is amazing

[Gal]

Oh I thought it was just me.....not a fan Jen is....

[Kaz]

[Diflower]

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of his particularly but loved Sherlock, and him in it

[Aggers]

I'm currently reading the complete works of Arthur Conan Doyle on my Kindle,
and enjoying every episode. I have a feeling I might not enjoy a TV version.

[Kaz]

Aggers did you not see the wonderful version that Granada made of Sherlock Holmes, back in the 90s? It starred Jeremy Brett and was really very good It gets repeated often on ITV3

[TheOstrich]

I hated the Cumberbatch version of Sherlock Holmes. What I call a modern day bastardisation of a classic, but that was more down to the scriptwriters, Moffat and Gattis than the actors. We saw the first series, then agreed we wouldn't bother with the rest.

I agree with Kaz; I guess for us, the Jeremy Brett interpretation is the definitive Sherlock Holmes. Looking at wiki, I see that Jeremy Brett actually suffered from manic depression / bipolar disorder ......

[Kaz]

Yes, he had a very difficult mental health issues. Probably that helped him play Holmes so well..............
