Benedict your too nice to us
But Benedict didn’t… He can’t even… He was just repeating what Rebecca Eaton… It’s not like he has the power to…
Oh, internet.
*throws up hands and walks away*
Star Trek Into Darkness’s Benedict Cumberbatch let it slip to VH1 that American fans might get to see new Sherlock episodes as the same time as the Brits.I know that Masterpiece has been working on narrowing the gap. If they can do it like Doctor Who, that’d be amazing.
Since people seem a bit confused/doubtful/etc. about this, here’s a link to a long-ish video that includes the year-old comments from Rebecca Eaton of PBS Masterpiece the Babes (and probably Benedict, since he was there) are referencing: http://youtu.be/-MltF5YNPac.
They really are working on closing the gap. That doesn’t mean it will actually happen, but it’s been a goal for long enough that it’s at least possible.
‘The what?’
‘The boodle. The reward. The 500 pounds.’
Sherlock Holmes being “American” is endlessly entertaining to me.
Remember when every American had an anthrax scare in the Reichenbach Falls
fucking John
If you’re a Sherlock fan who’s also looking forward to Elementary, or you at least want to see it before you make up your mind about it, Grubwithus is offering a “First Taste of CBS’ Elementary” package. You pay for a meal, get an early copy of Elementary’s pilot on DVD, and then go eat your meal at the same time as other people who’ve seen the episode so you can talk about it.
(The meals aren’t cheap—$25—and the availability is limited to certain U.S. cities. But you can decide what seeing the show a couple weeks early is worth to you.)
The two quotes above (from DigitalSpy’s MGEITF Sherlock Masterclass liveblog) plus Rebecca Eaton of PBS/Masterpiece saying she expected a 2013 airdate plus the fact that autumn is actually a sweeps period for the U.S., and I’m feeling really hopeful about the possibility that Americans won’t have the same ridiculous “it’s already aired everywhere else” wait for Series 3 that we did for Series 2.
(There was also an unconfirmed report today that David Arnold suggested a possible October 2013 airdate.)

Do you have any idea where an American can watch the Olympics opening?
I’m guessing you mean the bit with Cumberbatch? See the video above.
The rest of the opening ceremony will be on NBC in the US.

re: mince pies. Psh excuses excuses for not trying one, how do you know if you`d like it or not. 1) Most if not all commercial mince pies are made with vegetable suet now days. And it`s only a little in the mince meat to to melt and keep the dried fruit moist, it`s hardly a suet pudding.2) Frozen wtf unbaked?? If not just let those puppies defrost on the way home and eat them. Or even better make your own it`s not rocket science. Or just make excuses never explore a quaint tradition.
So I almost wrote a thoughtful response about multiculturalism. Then I remembered this is Tumblr, and said “screw it.” The correct answer is obviously:
