Next series of Sherlock could be last, BBC show’s creator warns Patrick Foster, media correspondent 15 JULY 2016 The next series of Sherlock, the hit BBC drama, could be the last, the programme’s creator has warned, as he suggested that Benedict Cumberbatch is now such an internationally-renowned actor that he only does the show out of loyalty to its fans. Steven Moffat, the executive producer of the BBC One show, said that he was “amazed” that the corporation had managed to secure “film stars” such as Cumberbatch, who plays the eponymous detective, and Martin Freeman, his sidekick Doctor Watson, for a fourth series, which is expected to air in early 2017. He added: “I don’t know how long we can keep it going. I’m personally willing but I’m hardly the main draw. I would be moderately surprised if this was the last time we ever made this show. But it absolutely could be.” More here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/15/next-series-of-sherlock-could-be-last-bbc-shows-creator-warns/

I know where Benedict was tonight...😄

My nephew is visiting in New York City and saw David Tennant in Richard II on stage tonight. And guess who he sat near? Yep, Benedict Cumberbatch. He just now called to tell me but I was out walking the dogs so missed his call.

Pics I took off the DVD, Benedict in "Four Lions" (2010)...

It’s ZENedict Cumberbatch: Actor chills out with Buddhist monk in Nepal Hamlet star enjoys a lesson in meditation on a break from filming Marvel film Doctor Strange AFTER moaning at theatre-goers for taking his picture last year, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH needed to chill out. Thankfully, The Hamlet star enjoyed a lesson in meditation at Nepal’s Shechen Monastery during a break from filming Marvel flick Doctor Strange. Benedict was pictured alongside Lama Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche before the Buddhist monk gave him a private blessing. The Doctor Strange cast and crew flew to Nepal in November to shoot part of the blockbuster, which is set for release at the end of the year. Part of the story takes place in the Himalayas, where the lead character becomes the Master of the Mystic Arts. A source said: “Benedict was fascinated.” From The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/6847210/Benedict-Cumberbatch-chills-out-with-Buddhist-monk.html BTW...I've left off the snarky last sentence because it was weird. Benedict is widely known for how NICE he is to his fans, so I was bewildered by it.

Dr. Strange!
