Sherlockians Wanted!! 

apileofgoodthingsandbadthings:

Hello, Sherlockians! I have come to ask a request of you.
My friend and I are doing a survey for our statistics class, and we wish to display our nerdiness by polling Sherlockians.

We are investigating the average ages of Sherlockians in the UK to those of Sherlockians in the US. We have limited UK replies, so if we could have a little more, that’d be be beautiful!

Please pass this post around to any Sherlockians that might be interested in helping! Thanks :)

If you are a fan of BBC’s Sherlock and live in either the US or UK, please reply to this with your age and location!

We appreciate the help!! :D

 

Obligatory Question Mark?

genuinelycornflakes:

here’s your monthly reminder that Mark Gatiss willingly typed and published the words “I’m inside you with my cock”

Hard as it is to believe now, this false start led to rumours in the media and TV industry that the show was a dud – until, that is, the revised Sherlock was shown on BBC1 to massive acclaim.

Asked about this on tonight’s Mark Lawson Talks to Mark Gatiss on BBC4, Gatiss says the reason the original pilot was included on the Sherlock series one DVD was to dispel rumours that it hadn’t worked. 

“The reason we eventually put [the pilot] on the DVD was to stop [speculation that it had been a disaster] because the pilot is very good,” Gatiss tells Lawson during the interview. “We would have been very happy [to air the original version]. It was originally commissioned as six hour-long episodes and then when we’d made the pilot, they asked for three 90s - I think largely because of the success of Wallander in that format. 

“We knew we couldn’t just bolt on another half hour,” Gatiss continues, “so Steve [Moffat] rewrote it and we remade it with a different director. You realise you’ve got absolutely no comeback [to stories saying the show had been in crisis]. What do you do? Because of an internal decision to make it in another format, this gossip got out. I remember thinking: if we don’t show people that it wasn’t a disaster, this will live with us for ever.”

Anonymous, 2-minute Sherlock survey! 

lovegood-and-boswell:

For my university biology class, I am researching the relationship between illegal consumption and legal purchases of the BBC television show Sherlock.

If you have ever watched Sherlock, I would really appreciate it if you could take 2 minutes to complete this anonymous survey! If you could pass it on to your friends, family, and followers, I’d be even more grateful.

Thank you so much for your time!
