Neither one; I'm in Germany.

Yep, that was exactly the one. It was shown here last night.
--- Quote --- I am looking forward to Season 3, which won't be filmed until 2013

Again: What? 2013?
:o
Oh my, I didn't think it'd be that long. :-\
Well, it gives me time to catch up on all episodes shown so far. :)

Yes, you'll have time. There were 3 episodes for Season 1 and 3 for Season 2. They are 90 minutes long and are action packed. You'll need to buy the DVD. I recommend going through them a couple of times, especially for the last episode. You'll see "clues" that some of us have picked up for our discussion. Cheers!

Snippet from Live Journal about Benedict Cumberbatch's doings:
In a recent interview with InStyle magazine, Benedict Cumberbatch said he visited the London Zoo to study the reptiles in preparation for his role as Smaug the dragon.
"It’s an extrapolation of a performance into something other than an actor. But essentially, you’re still doing a scene."
Cumberbatch who also stars in the up-coming Star Trek 2 and plays Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock says that his acting parents helped him learn the importance of professionalism.
In other Cumberbatch news, apparently he’s also landed a small guest spot on the Simpsons. Its been recorded, but no word yet on when it might air, or what the part involved.

Yeah, someone on IMDb reported this. Apparently the Simpsons folks were right next door to where he was filming and he basically barged in and asked in his nice, British accent, alpha male way to have a part. So they obliged and rewrote a part for him. Apparently Moffat/Gattis was right. Benedict looks and acts so self-deprecating, but he does sort of 'take over a room' whenever he's in one. 8)
TOoP/Bruce:
It will get an Americanized update this fall with Jonathan Miller and Lucy Liu as Sherlock Holmes and Watson in "Elementary".
