female gazing at: Rupert Graves
While I was watching Made in Dagenham the other day, I suddenly realized that Rupert Graves is in pretty much every good thing ever…

the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘The Search for Sherlock Holmes’
The search for who? Oh no: do we have to remind people yet again that Sherlock Holmes was never a real person, that he was a fictional invention of a writer of crime stories?
‘Sherlock’ debuts on PBS on Sunday
Benedict Cumberbatch is the sexiest high-functioning sociopath ever, and Martin Freeman is a Watson to be reckoned with. Instead of telegrams and monographs it’s all texts and blogs, but the best way to get around this 21st-century Holmes’ London is still by cab.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: hilarious icons for all your avatar needs

Take a look back at an old trailer… I can’t wait to see Steven Moffat’s new Sherlock Holmes adaptation — the first episode is called “A Study in Pink” *snort* — which debuted tonight on BBC One. While I wait, here’s look at a 1959 Hammer film — a more faithful adaptation, it seems — … more…
omg: a modern Sherlock Holmes from Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss? I’m so there
