Our BBC Sherlock

It seems my excited waffling on about location hunting,  and the odd phenomenon of fans finding their way to Bart's to pay their respects, has gained me some notice. I have been asked to write an article on fandom (and how social media effects it) for a magazine which I have in my library, and Media Studies students use a lot. ...

While this is very exciting I need to get my brains in soak and decide what I am going to write about. What I also need is few people to talk to so I can add their voices to my writing. I suppose I should just go to London again, park myself in front of Pathology and wait (you always get a few people passing on an afternoon at the weekend) but then I had an idea.

I keep asking for fans in the UK within shouting (or even train travel) distance of London to meet up, so I am going try and do that again. I will probably be around next Saturday (the 29th Sept) to spend some time there, and finish up a few (more) locations I need to sort out, but I know that might be a bit short notice. I don't have to send this thing off until the end of November so I could, I suppose, be every hopeful and shedule something in mid-October and throw in some other popular Sherlock locations for good measure.  Is anyone free and would anyone like to join me?

The other problem is if I am going to write an article I need proper facts, and am going to have to contact the producers at some point. Does anyone know of an e-mail address I would send my queries to?

Hi everyone,

Due to holidays, business or other conflicting life aspects I seem to have lost the helpful people who inspire me so much when I am writing my frustrating WIP. I will be glad to hear from them again when they return but I am chatty anyway and would like other people to communicate with. Anyone fancy talking to me?

Sorry Mods if this is not allowed (please remove if it isn't) but I'm hunting someone who speaks French (or who even IS French) who may have access to the dubbed French language version of 02x03.

I am trying to get a transcript of a couple of scenes and my schoolgirl French is helping me a little (as is knowing these scenes off practically by heart in English) but the French language subtitles available don't match. They apparently are (or so says a French Canadian I have been talking to)  a translation of the English words and not a direct transcript of what the French actors are dubbing.

It does sound incredibly good (the voice matches are lovely) and some of the things replacing the English (e.g. Mrs Hudson talking about keeping blood samples in the fridge rather than body parts, Jim using 'vous' to Sherlock while John addresses him as 'tu') are very interesting. Sherlock's Sonny and Cher singing reference on the Roof of Bart's is also just talked over.

Oh, and BTW, whoever is dubbing Mycroft in 01x01 even manages to get his inflections into some of the conversation in the warehouse (the line about the 'happy announcement' - in French he is instead talking about a marriage) which can't be easy.
