HELP KEEP THE MYSTERY ALIVE! HELP SAVE UNDERSHAW!

Save Undershaw is a project put together by The Undershaw Preservation Trust to save the historic home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author and creator of the world-famous Sherlock Holmes. It is in this very home that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the continuation of The Reichenbach Fall and reunited John Watson with Sherlock Holmes. Within those walls, the author of one of the most beloved series lived with his family and continued a literary world that fascinated generations of readers.

But Undershaw is now in danger of being torn down to create a pathway into a modern world. In 2010, there were plans to take down this historic home to make way for more homes. Fearing this news, fans of Sherlock Holmes grouped together and made The Undershaw Preservation Trust to protest the plan and the plans were put on hold until a Judicial Review on May 23, 2012 (UK Time) 

With the Judicial Review drawing closer and closer, it is now up to fans like US to stand up for Undershaw. Let’s show the world that we want Undershaw to stay! 

++++

The Judicial Review is TOMORROW! If you would like to help save Undershaw, NOW is the time to do so.

To help Save Undershaw, please sign the petition HERE and REBLOG to help spread the word!

I feel so sorry for the first-time American viewers who never got to see the naked mud-wrestling and tongue-kissing scene between John and Sherlock in Hounds of Baskerville.

Ugh. Americans.

“[Playing Sherlock is] a gift of a role, it’s a real pleasure…I have no complaints or difficulties with it. It’s the kind of challenge every actor should relish, and I genuinely can say that. It’s really good fun to do. The hours are long, it’s tough, and all the rest of it, but you know, I’m still getting paid to do what I love…It’s a joy, it’s an absolute joy.”  (photo)

So you know how people were all excited to see how the cliffhanger at the end of Sherlock season 1 would sort itself out, and Moffat decided that the resolution would be ‘Staying Alive’? Yeah. Think about that when you try and figure out how Season three is going to begin….
