Dani's Journal

After finally finishing my Sherlock rewatch last night (which continues to be completely awesome!!! <3<3 OMG, when will there be new episodes?!?), I was quite bored and started searching the internet for some Benedict pictures. *whistles innocently*

So, have a little picspam of the Cumberbatch. ♥♥
You've probably seen the pics before, but who cares. :p *swoons*

( more under the cut... )

Just finished listening to series 1 of BBC Radio 4 series "Cabin Pressure". And I'm absolutely in love with it!! ♥ It is bloody HILARIOUS!!! *rofl* Had me cracking up and giggling madly almost the whole time through. :D Makes me really glad I didn't listen to it in a public place. ;-) *gg*

I think my favourite is Roger Allam as Douglas, who is brilliant *lol*, very closely followed by Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin <3, of course! Other cast members are Stephanie Cole (Carolyn) and John Finnemore (Arthur). The whole cast is fantastic. :-)

Will continue with series 2 shortly. :D
 

I'm so happy there will be a Christmas Special and a 3rd series!! \o/ *yay*
It's a real shame they haven't made a TV series out of it (yet?)...

Yesterday I watched the first episode - "A Study in Pink" - of BBC's new Sherlock series.
I really LOVED it!! <3 It was brilliant and very entertaining. I enjoyed it so much. :-)

I didn't know anything about it beforehand, so I was actually a bit surprised to see that it takes place in contemporary London, with high-tech mobile phones, computers and all... ;-) I'm not really familiar with the classic Sherlock Holmes (I have only seen I think 1 episode of the Jeremy Brett series and read 1 or 2 stories), so I didn't mind the modern touch. I quite liked the idea of the text appearing on screen when they were sending/receiving text messages or the like.

It had some funny moments as well. :D For some reason Sherlock's "Why have I got this blanket? They keep putting this blanket on me." (and the rest of that dialogue) towards the end totally cracked me up. *rofl* IDK *g* 

I think Benedict Cumberbatch was great as Sherlock! :-) And I can totally see why some people were reminded of The Doctor by him! I had that feeling most of the time, too. :D *g*  Oh, and I love his voice!!
Martin Freeman, who I always liked since Love Actually, was fab as John Watson, too. :-) Nice to also see some of Watson's "dark", tormented side.

So, looking very much forward to the other 2 episodes! :-)

I definitely need some icons for this show. <3 So if anyone has a recommendation where to find good ones, let me know. ;-) Thanks!

Mhh, this has quite set me in the mood, so I might finally watch the Sherlock Holmes movie with RDJ/Law tonight (yeah, I still haven't seen that one *blushes*)... *lol*
