Lost Without Their Blogger: Sherlock in the Media

[M. Darcy]

 

From the pictures I'm seeing (and the videos I'm not seeing) I assume that Benedict and Martin weren't there?

They weren't there - Martin had a performance in Richard III last night and Benedict is busy filming somewhere.

Correct. Only Moffat was there last night. And here's his win and acceptance speech:

 

 

 

ETA: Oops! As Anothermi pointed out below, I MEANT to say Moffat was the only one of the winners there last night, as Gatiss (and Vertue) are right there in the video, and undoubtedly would have been on stage had the show itself not lost to The Normal Heart.

Correct. Only Moffat was there last night. And here's his win and acceptance speech:

 

 

Hee! I'm assuming you meant - "of those nominated" - because that clip showed clearly that Mark Gatiss was also there. I appreciated that Moffat acknowledged that Mark should be up there winning the Emmy with him. 

[rereader2]

Yes, quite right, Anothermi, I meant of the winners! I shall edit forthwith.

I was thrilled at the Sherlock domination last night and I figured our dynamic duo were working on one of their many projects.  Congratulations to Stephen, Martin and Benedict--well deserved to all :) And Mark deserves a shot out also :)

Aaaand here's a small sampling of media stories on Sherlock's Emmy wins:

 

Variety

The Hollywood Reporter

EOnline

Digital Spy

Forbes

The Telegraph

Liberty Voice

[rereader2]

And BBC One did an Emmy-award trailer for the show:

From the Mirror: Sherlock Selfie - world record smashed as 443 people dress like the world's greatest detective. According to the article, Moffat and Vertue sent a message of support, along with a signed Sherlock script for best-dressed. All money raised went to the Leeds Teaching Hospital for a new Yorkshire Brain Research Centre.

From the Guardian: Sherlock, Downton Abbey: what the US can learn from our TV exports. (I thought it raised some points worthy of consideration.)

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but nowhere else seems right either, so...

 

From What's On Stage: The National Theatre is raffling the chance to win afternoon tea at The Ivy with actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott, for the benefit of their Young Patrons group.

[mledawn]

Andrew Scott did an AMA on reddit today. It was not well received, apparently - he was criticised for his brief answers.

 

I'm trying to link to the comment that has linked all of Andrew's answers but I can't figure out how to do it because I have the dumb.

Mark Gatiss did an AMA on reddit this morning. Unsurprisingly, his AMA was pretty funny.

Another week, another (2) awards...this time it's the TV Choice Awards, where Benedict picked up best actor and Sherlock won best drama series.

Can anyone provide a link to Wayback Machine for Sherlock?  I've been wrestling with it all day, and I'm just stupidly tired (or maybe just stupid).

[rereader2]

I'm sorry, I must be stupid tired myself, because I have no idea what you mean by a Wayback Machine for Sherlock? The only Wayback (or WABAC) Machine I know of is the one Mr. Peabody (of Mr. Peabody and Sherman fame) invented.

[Brattinella]

Oh, I loved Mr Peabody and Sherman!  No, I am referring to archive.org, it is a backup copy of various websites at certain moments in time.

[Carrie Ann]

So what web site are you looking for w/r/t Sherlock?

[Brattinella]

It is web.archive.org and it backs up the internet at different points in time.  I am not sure how to navigate the site, was just curious if there are any folks who have mastered it.  435 billion web pages.

 

Actually, I would be most interested in backup copies of twop re: Sherlock.

[rereader2]

Brattinella, if you want the TWOP recaps of Sherlock (they only did season 3), they still have those up: http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sherlock/  (The forums, not.)

 

Okay, I found the site. I can't say I know how to navigate it, having only just seen it for the first time (!), but here is what looks like their TWOP forums page: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/ . I'm guessing you find the year you want in that top bar, then click on the 'snapshot' you're interested in, and then click through to the Sherlock forum. Good luck!

[Brattinella]

Thanks so much for taking the time to research that for me, rereader, I appreciate that very much!  I will check those out, and let you know.  Thanks again!

[rereader2]

You're quite welcome. :)

(As I recall, Sherlock was in the Drama Forum on TWOP until this year.)

There's an interview with Benedict in which he discusses Sherlock's backstory on NPR, to go with the release of the Sherlock boxed set.

[rereader2]

Whoop!

[M. Darcy]

Even better - we have a picture!  https://twitter.com/suevertue/status/537286566214107136

[rereader2]

I just saw that on Twitter!

 

ETA: There are already a clutch of online articles about the "time traveling Sherlock special".

 

(Me, I suspect it's more likely to be one of Moftiss's let's-mess-with-the-fans tricks than an actual Sherlock still--they are only at a read-through version of the script, they wouldn't have photos of the stars in costume yet, surely!)

Victorian Holmes and Watson aside (are we getting that Doctor Who crossover after all?), from RadioTimes: Sherlock fans have changed the way we make the show says Mark Gatiss.

 

It's a pity that their scripts are constrained by fan presence, but it is a more fan-friendly solution than hiring security to block fans from their shoots.

Re: Shouldergate: ‘Sherlock’ season 4: Mark Gatiss pokes fun at Benedict Cumberbatch photo blunder. Heh!

 

(Of course, there are a bazillion articles about the missing shoulder, but they all say the same thing.)

Social media is media, so I guess this belongs here: Sherlock Holmes's return generated the most tweets for TV on Twitter

There's going to be an official Sherlock convention in London http://www.sherlockology.com/news/2015/2/9/sherlocked-tickets-onsale-090215

[rereader2]

Well, that does me no good. It's too far away for me to afford to get to--and even if it were here, it's mostly Friday night and Saturday and I couldn't go anyway. *sad*

[M. Darcy]

Plus, one trip to London to see BC is quite enough for one year :-)  Though, I would have gone anyway this fall - Hamlet just moved up my vacation a week.

 

It should be really great event though. 

[rereader2]

I'm looking forward to your report of Hamlet! :)

[goodbyeglittergirl]

I am going to Sherlocked! I am sort of still in a haze about it. I was able to get a really inexpensive airline ticket and am using travel points for the hotel, so it's not a terribly costly trip. I am really excited! 

[M. Darcy]

Awesome! You'll have to tell us all about it!

[rereader2]

Yes! 

[M. Darcy]

Good news for us Yanks!  There will be a Convention in the US. 

[rereader2]

Awesome! Do you know where?

[M. Darcy]

They haven't said yet - just that there will be one.  I'm hoping East Coast - NY. Because that trip I can do.

[rereader2]

This is an odd one. The New York Times Magazine has had a total revision as of this past weekend, one result of which is the addition of about 50 pages of ads up front...but I digress. One of the new magazine features is a column titled "Search Results," where, I gather, they will talk about some aspect of internet life, and they chose to kick off the column with an explanation of "shipping." And the example they use is Johnlock: My Dear, Dear, Dear Watson.

 

Hmm.

Una Stubbs (Mrs. Hudson, of course!) talks about the Sherlock special in an interview for RadioTimes.

Steven Moffat Says Sherlock isn't Gay. (You'd think he'd know!) 

 

I think it's very respectful of him not to invalidate fanfiction that says otherwise--as he recently said flat out, "I refuse to mock it--because I'm a man who writes Sherlock Holmes fan fiction for a living!"--but surely he has the right to say what his own work is about.

[K2DangerGirl]

I get a little weary, though, at the disingenuousness of Moffat's "amazement"; as if people are making it up out of whole cloth.  "He's been saying [sherlock isn't interested in sex] over 100 years!"  Well, in the world that Moffat and Gatiss created and control we are shown multiple characters who think Sherlock and John are a romantic couple, or could be.  Is it really so crazy if [some of the] audience follows suit?  Honestly, by now it's like a five-year gay joke.  And that's just based on actual dialogue, not even getting into innuendo or subtext.
