Fall of 2011??? Jesus Crayfish!!!! That's like Sopranos far away!!!! Damn, the BBC can be a heartless horehound!

(PS~ Luther: yes. Hopefully not The Very Last Episode, please.)

[hackthis]

It's so far away! *sobs* But Luther's been commissioned for a second series! \o/

[nrrrdy_grrrl]

That's a very nice consolation prize; it won't stop me from grousing and using wild hyperbole, but I'll take what I can get.

Hmm. Of that list of Arthur Conan Doyle stories, I think the most classic one (the one that gives you perhaps the best indicator of the Sherlock Holmes books) is The Hound of the Baskervilles. But it's a novel and it's long, so for a short story I'd suggest starting with any of the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

My personal favourite story (and the slashiest) is "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs", published in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes but I don't see it on that list, unless I am looking in the wrong place. :((((

I have to admit, knowing Indira Varma is in it is enough to get me curious about a show!

[hackthis]

Okay, as I have a pile of books threatening to barricade me in I will add Hound of the Baskervilles to the reading pile, but probably will not get to it for quite some time. I will definitely make sure to read your favorite story though :D

And Luther -- oh my god it's so fucking smart and pretty and the acting is superb (hardly shocking given the cast, but still). OMG! Ruth Wilson! I forgot to add Ruth Wilson.

Since "hound" is one of the clues Moffat has been giving us about next series, I'd definitely read it before next fall. And in that same vein, he also gave us "Adler" and "Reichenbach," so I would also check out "A Scandal in Bohemia" (in Adventures) and "The Adventure of the Final Problem" (in Memoirs).

I am rather, very, extremely sad about the Autumn 2011 date, but thankfully, we'll have MOAR of both of them to look forward to, what with all the films they're making in the meantime!

Also, an addition to your list pertaining to the wonderfulness of Mr Cumberbatch: r) he is kind to children. Witness all our ovaries exploding.

[hackthis]

Oh god, the fairytale thing. Yes. Also, your icon? Double yes!

How is he even real?

[sirona_gs]

How is he even real? -- Yes. Yes, my thoughts precisely. As soon as I saw that icon, I was like, THIS.

At this point I would hesitate to listen to him in the car (where I listen to most of my audiobooks), because he would distract me too much from the actual driving.

[hackthis]

I was listening to him before a meeting a few weeks back. I was not at my sharpest after that. Not gonna lie.

Another thing to add to your Benedict Cumberbatch list - He's going to be both the Doctor and the Monster (on different nights) at the National Theatre in a production of 'Frankenstien' next year.

Said production is being directed by Danny Boyle. Which is reason enough (for me anyway) to want to go see it. I love his work and am intrigued by this.

There is talk of it being shown around the country/world but I do not know how that works for for outside the UK but it sounds good.

As for 2011 - it's not just the actors are in such demand - the writers are a tad busy too - Moffatt does have series 6 of Doctor Who to deliver (or at least the first part) for Easter next year...

I heard about the Frankenstein thing with Jonny Lee Miller. Oh Jonny.* Oh Benedict. I sound like I'm about to swoon. I probably am.

*Jonny and Danny! It's a Trainspotting reunion! \o/

Okay, I had a whole year studying Sherlock Holmes stories when I was in 7th grade and I can't remember any of those stories. I know I read Sign of the Four, but I couldn't tell you at all what is was about.

m) fucks like a goddamn pro <-- Sadly I cannot vouch for this, but the Lord said so himself.

Benedict fucked god?

[hackthis]

No god fucked the world when he only made one of Benedict.

But to answer said question, Benedict said he fucked like a pro. Yes, direct quote I just don't remember where it's from. I saw it on somebody's tumblr.

[sparky77]

We shall have to get back on making the cloning machine.

And, I believe 100 percent that he fucks like a pro. In fact, I would say that he was bein modest in describin his fucking as pro like and that a new catergory above pro level probably needs to be invented to decribe him.

It's funny you mention needing new categories for things, because I totally agree. Benedict is an entirely different category from anyone else. I need a new lexicon to describe him. Yet another reason for me to learn French.
Also, maurheti were discussing needing a new category for this the other day. Giant deli salami was what we'd settled on.
