Benedict Cumberbatch/Sherlock Fans

Did you see the opening show for the season last week?

TRIVIA: The role of Sherlock's parents (a surprise to John Watson that he had parents) was played by Benedict Cumberbatch's real mother and father.

And how cute were they?

Hi Noel7, there's a thread on Sherlock over in the Entertainment section, under Movies. Join us there! Loved Sherlock's parents too. He looks just like his dad.

Oh I just love him. He was the best thing in the most recent Star Trek movie.

Hi Noel!

I beat ya to the punch. I posted last week on Entertainment/Movies about the series. I really enjoy it. It's refreshing entertainment as opposed to the so-called reality shows that pass themselves off as entertainment.

Hi LR, I saw that you did Dawg Lover alerted me to your line, I don't think I've been to the entertainment board before.

I don't watch reality shows but I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I was a kid. I even like the old Sherlock movies, I used to watch them on TV with my grandmother. This series with Cumberbatch is outstanding!

I didn't know his real,parents played themselves. How cute is that! Are they professional actors? Typical Sherlock, he couldn't wait to get them out the door.

Benedict's parents are very well known actors in the UK,been around for decades.

Also the woman who played Watson's fiance is his real life partner! She is also in Mr Selfridge. In a future episode there is a flashback of Sherlock's childhood and one of the producer's son's(Stephen Moffat,I think) plays a young Sherlock

Guess they are keeping it in the family this season!

They seem to do that in a lot of the sci-fi productions, also, of which Cumberbatch is low linked to.
