Word Nerd Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Fans of the BBC series Sherlock, here is a preview for the first episode in the second season, which airs in the UK soon and on PBS in May. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 How did I not know about this? I love BBC and I love Sherlock Holmes. I hope my library has the first season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posybuddy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 May?? Sigh. And BBC is showing it in the UK on New Year's Day? :glare: Jealous. Waiting for Sherlock and Dr. Who is starting to make me twitchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in FL. Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It' s certainly been a long time coming. I was hoping it would be early in 2012. Bummer! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 And how long before it's on Netflix? Argh! I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You may not need to wait for Netflix. Last season they had the episodes of Sherlock on the PBS website for streaming a day or so after they aired in the US. Also-there was something about PBS having shortened them or edited them-the BBC and US versions were supposed to be slightly different. iTunes was advertising having the full BBC version and so was someone else as opposed to the US release DVDs. There was something similar with Downton Abbey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Argh! The BBC shows it on New Year's Day and we don't get it until May???? I'll die waiting that long! Does BBC stream over the Net? You can see things streamed if you live in the UK (the BBC is financed by a licence bought by all UK telly owners) but when I lived in China and Hong Kong I couldn't.

There was something similar with Downton Abbey. I know they filmed two different pilots for the series, and they included both on the Sherlock DVD. They took the story in a different direction and there were definitely changes made, but I think the one that aired was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRachel Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Oh not fair! Not fair at all. There's got to be someplace that streams it before May. When we lived in Germany I had friends that received Dallas tapes from the States because they couldn't wait for the year long wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 My dd13 is going absolutely bonkers that they delayed the schedule because of the riots. She's watched the few existing episodes so many times that she can recite some of the lines. She carries around an umbrella that looks just like the one Mycroft carries. And I mean she carries it everywhere in any kind of weather. It's rather embarrassing to have someone ask us if it's raining outside and dd13 smiles and says no, she just loves her umbrella. I drew the line at the deerstalker hat she wanted. I mean, really! Egads! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
