Speedys Cafe Memorabilia

Hi, I’m messaging on behalf of Speedy’s Café, the café famously featured as 221B Baker Street in the BBC’s Sherlock.

We have an extremely rare piece of Sherlock history that we are looking to sell to a genuine collector or dedicated fan.

It is a Speedy’s T-shirt signed by Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Mark Gatiss, accompanied by the original photographs from 2011 of my father and the cast as well as 4 original BBC framed still from the show and behind-the-scenes material.

We’re hoping to find someone who would genuinely appreciate the history and significance of the piece, rather than simply sell it on.

Thank you!

Annoying episode missing from series

So I was really happy to find the Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch on sale on Prime for 5.99 a season last night. It's normally 6.99 per EPISODE.

I bought seasons 1 & 2, then when I got to Season 3, I was unpleasantly surprised that you can’t buy the full season; it can only be bought by the episode at 6.99 each. That in and of itself isn't a big deal, but for some reason there's no way to buy S3 Ep4. The only option for that specific episode is a paid subscription.

I bought Season 4 for 5.99 just like 1 & 2.

Why would they leave out one episode right in the middle of a series?

Fandango has Season 3 for $20 but it also doesn't include Ep 4. It's only available if you buy the complete series, which I don't want to do since I already bought 3 of the 4 seasons.

Wondering if this is a new trick to get you to sign up for their subscriptions. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sherlock related playlist

Hi guys!!

I'd like to create a Sherlock related playlist just like I've done a few months ago for Good Omens, and I'd like to have as many suggestions as possible. Any song of which either the music or lyrics (or, if possible, both!) makes you think "Oh, that fits the show's mood", please drop its titles here. Can't wait to read your recos 🥉 Update: I don't necessarily mean songs from the show, just those that make you guys think about it

Sherlock is absolutely flamboyant

Hi,
I have just finished binge watching all the episodes in 10 days. I watched them when they were first aired on Italian tv and loved them a lot. After all these years I have decided to rewatch them all in english and I confirm my opinion. I didn’t remember most of the plot so I have enjoyed all the emotional rollercoaster (adrenaline rushes, laughs and tears).
English is not my mother tongue but a word keeps coming to my mind when trying to describe this serie: flamboyant.
I have read a lot of posts on this sub, including those accusing the last season of being a soap opera and those that found the serie bad because for them Sherlock Holmes should revolve around crime’s solutions. But for me this is not a detective story, it’s a highly exciting and flamboyant adventure with thrilling scenes, fireworks, stunning photography and soundtrack. Oh, and I adore Cumberbatch in this, he is really wonderful hin every sense) A story where almost everything is over the top, in Italy we say “sopra le righe” - over the lines (the lines being referenced are the notebooks’ ones).
That is the beauty of this serie.
Obviously, everyone is entitled to his own opinion. But I am feeling inclined to say that even maybe the last episode is inferior to rest, it has some great scenes (Moriarty’s I want to break free, the moral dilemmas about who has to die for example) and for me* it doesn’t really ruin the overall score.

What do you think after all these years? Are here others feeling like me?

*and for a lot of other people too. While the scores of the last Game of Thrones’ episodes are truly low (compared with the previous ones) on IMDB, it can’t be said the same for Sherlock. In the second case the scores are much more even. So, excuse me if I am not believing that the haters are the majority. I gave 9 to the serie and lowered some individual scores to 8.

Who was the client?

In a scandal in belgravia, the client must have been a female member of the royal family, but who do we ever get to know who it was?

The "you've been to Afghanistan, I perceive" scene lives rent-free in my head. So I made a daily game out of it.

My favorite thing in the whole BBC run is the first lab scene. Sherlock looks at John for ten seconds and says "Afghanistan or Iraq?" The reasoning chain (tan line stops at the wrist, military bearing, healing limp, brother's phone) is the most addictive piece of writing in the show for me.

So I built a daily game around it. Every day there's a new photograph of a person. You write down what you observe and the deductions you can pull from it. An AI scores your reasoning and tells you what you missed. Some days I'm proud of myself, some days it points at something obvious in the background and I feel like Lestrade.

It's at dailyholmes.com Free, no signup, runs in the browser. Takes about three minutes a day.

This community knows what good deduction sounds like better than anyone. If you try it, I'd really love to hear when the AI scores something wrong or misses a deduction that was clearly there. That feedback is what's going to make the game actually good.

Dwight Shrute/Sherlock Holmes similarly

It sounds weird but I feel like they are almost the same character.

Both are extremely confident in their own intelligence and socially unconventional, also intensely interested in niche subjects.

And they tend to be very literal/blunt, and they both secretly care about people more than they let on.

Some questions on S3 E2

​

I have so many questions about that sherlock episode.

First of all how did sherlock know that the mayfly man was going to be at the wedding just from the fact that a woman the mayfly man slept with for one night at some point had seen a wedding invitation from Watson?

Second of all how did Sherlock know the mayfly man was there to kill someone and not to just con more women?

Thirdly how did Sherlock know that the mayfly man was also the "invisible man" that had killed the black soldier guy? There is next to nothing linking the mayfly man and the invisible man.
