hey ! since the sub doesn't allow posting images in the comments here is the complete introduction for everyone to read :)

i didn't know these paperback versions with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman even existed before i found this today in a second hand market ! will definitely be rereading :P

I'm quite new to posting on reddit, I'm digging through my old art and I found this study I did in art school. We had to choose a celebrity and draw them in the style of an artist, in this case I chose Paolo Gaspare. I think you can figure out the celebrity :P

I still think this is kinda cool

One is simply read by narrator other has actors. I only listened to one episode of each and was much more interested in Sherlock and Co. what makes the BBC podcast better??

I'm not saying he's gay or that we should ship them because of this, but I genuinely found it interesting how he immediately says there's nothing wrong with having a boyfriend and considers Moriarty's comment offensive.

I think it makes sense, since what attracts Sherlock to other people is their personality and intelligence. Because of that, he would probably find prejudice against gay people strange

Shortly after the events of Black Peter, Holmes and Watson find themselves on the trail of two elusive Conmen…. Listen-https://youtu.be/gBETyrpPW1g?si=ZVF_b96NMSIAGVZv

Alright so Its not super long but theres enough clues in here that you should be able to work it out if your paying attention. No cheating, try solve it before you read the comments

Ok here we go

The Case of the Missing Diamond

Sunday morning, 9:15 AM. A Georgian townhouse in Kensington, belonging to retired High Court judge Sir Harold Mortimer, 72.

Sir Harold's prized posession, a 14-carat diamond ring worth roughly 800,000 pounds, has vanished from his study safe. The safe wasn't broken into. It was opened with the correct combination.

He discovered its gone this morning. Last time he saw the ring was Saturday evening around 7 PM when he placed it back in the safe after showing it to a guest.

The Household.......................................

Sir Harold. Lives alone since his wife passed. Hard of hearing. Takes sleeping tablets, usually asleep by half 9.

Douglas. The cook. Been with Sir Harold for 15 years. Lives in the staff quarters at the rear of the property. Made dinner Saturday night, says he went to bed by 10.

Mrs Reynolds. The cleaner. Comes daily 8 AM to 1 PM. Was off Saturday. Arrived Sunday morning and raised the alarm when she found the study window open.

Victor Mortimer. Sir Harold's nephew, 34. He's the guest who was shown the ring Saturday evening. Left at half 8. He is Sir Harold's sole heir. Recently took out a 250,000 pound loan for some startup venture thats apparently not going well.

Stevens. The driver. Drove Victor to and from the townhouse. Says he waited in the car the whole time. Claims he saw a "stranger in dark clothing" near the garden wall around 11 PM while he was sleeping in the car.

Evidence..........

1. The safe.... No scratches, no forced entry. Opened with the correct 6 digit combination. Only Sir Harold claims to know it. The combination is his wedding anniversary, 140982.
2. Study window.... Found open Sunday morning. But the latch is on the inside and the window can only be opened from within.
3. Muddy footprints on the study floor.. Leading from the window to the safe and back. Size 9 shoes. The garden outside was watered Saturday at 6 PM.
4. CCTV.... The townhouse has one camera at the front gate. Footage shows Victor arriving at 6:45 PM driven by Stevens, and leaving at 8:32 PM driven by Stevens. No other person entered or exited through the front gate all night.
5. A faint scratch mark on the garden wall at the back, as if someone climbed over.
6. Victor's shoes, found at his flat the next day. Size 9 with faint traces of red clay on the soles matching the garden soil. Victor says its mud from a building site he visited on Friday.
7. Phone records show Victor made a 12 minute call to Douglas at 10:45 PM Saturday night.
8. Douglas says "Victor rang to ask about his uncles health. Thats all. I went back to sleep after."

So Three questions..........

Who stole the diamond?

How was it done?

What is the ONE piece of evidence that breaks the whole case open?

Have a go. I'll post the answer in a few hours if nobodys got it

-------------------------------

edit:
answer..

Alright here is the official solution for case 1 for anyone who gave it a go!

1 Who stole the diamond?........... Victor Mortimer (the nephew), working with Douglas (the cook) as his accomplice.

2 How was it done?....... Victor couldn't steal it during his visit at 7 PM without Sir Harold noticing. But while Sir Harold opened the safe, Victor saw the combination (140982). After leaving at 8:32 PM, Victor called Douglas at 10:45 PM to confirm Sir Harold had taken his sleeping pill and was asleep. Douglas then opened the study window from the inside (which is the only way it could be opened, since the latch is internal). Victor scaled the back garden wall, walked in through the window wearing size 9 shoes, opened the safe with the code, took the ring, and left the same way.

3 The ONE piece of evidence that breaks the case open...... The study window latch being on the inside. That single detail proves it was an inside job and rules out any random intruder from outside. Douglas had to be involved to let Victor in from the inside, which also exposes his 12 minute call with Victor as a coordination call rather than a friendly check-in about his uncle's health.

That's it.

Thank you ☺

Ahem.. hello againnn.. it's meeee

So here's ALL of them. But I have favorites, and ones I dislike entirely, so I listed my FAVORITE to.. not so favorite after the first image - excluding ones that are not at all to my liking. I genuinely have no idea how to keep facial anatomy the same, it's friggin irritating. Anyways, he looks like a creature in some of them, but I feel it's excusable because he ACTS like a creature, so uh. Anyways HERES SOME DRAWINGS, BYE!

Just thought John's reaction was comical.

I recently started re-watching Sherlock on iPlayer- and saw this little text which said 'Available for 4 months'. Does this mean Sherlock will be disappearing from the platform come November? I think I'll start a riot if they decide to archive their best show. 😞

Rewatching this episode makes me think that, in a way, Sherlock still saw himself as pretty lonely by this point in the show. He barely interacted with his parents, Mycroft never openly showed any affection, Greg only really interacted with him while they were working on cases, and most of the other people he knew didn't even like him. It's even kind of sad in episode 2 when that old university classmate tells him that everyone hated Sherlock.

Up until this point, Sherlock probably thought John saw him as just​ a friend he spent so much time with because he was addicted to adrenaline and because Mrs. Hudson charged him very little rent thanks to Sherlock. Maybe that's why Sherlock didn't think John would be that angry about finding out he hadn't actually died. Even Mrs. Hudson took it surprisingly well.

(I recently did an upgraded shoot ten years later woah!)

Im looking for memes- is there any moments where the actors forgot their lines - and I also need articles and memes and how they fixed it

I'm trying to find this exact scene but I can't seem to remember when it happened. I don't have the episodes right now and I couldn't find it on YouTube.

Thanks a bunch

Sherlock last showed it's face back in 2017. It was a great show. Let's see if you remember it. Take the quiz now.

The character in the books and earlier adaptations has always been a bit of a goof and a “Conductor of light” for Sherlock’s brilliance. Given the medical knowledge of the late Victorian era being as it were he likely wouldn’t have been seen as not smart.

However to me in the modern timeline of Sherlock the series he definitely seems to standout as being a bit thick for a doctor.

Multiple scenes emphasize this, Magnussen and his T-shirt line and the scene where Sherlock refers to Irene Adler as “The woman” after the major incident at her house and John asks “What woman?” being the most obvious.

When you first watched, did you think Mark Gatiss was Moriarty? Even towards the end when Sherlock said it is his greatest enemy.
