Oh no! @britishmuseum, that's not how to do it. At excellent #SilkRoads exhibition, two thirds way through, and guards tell everyone there’s FIVE minutes to closing. Nothing on the ticket or booking form to say 5pm close. No other visible information. Lot of dissatisfied punters

Ally Pally, with its restored East Wing theatre, was an inspired venue for this showing. Great footage, excellent scores, and a spectacular view over London on a clear night with a Hunters Moon. @BFI

Pure joy to see #SilentSherlock tonight in the atmospheric setting of Ally Pally. Beautiful restoration @BFI @bryonydixon with terrific score by Neil Brand, Joanna MacGregor and Joseph Havlat. He shall return...

That's great news. Thanks for your support. And I must now chase up this leaflet you refer to. I didn't know about it.

Today many Japanese Sherlockians can finally receive Japanese translation of “The World of Sherlock Holmes”. We are excited to read this fantastic book! And we Japanese can have extra gift which is a small leaflet of Mitch Higurashi’s explanations on this book. @alycett1

One of London's hidden treasures, particularly for book-lovers. A nicely written piece too. Walden Books in Chalk Farm is a place of 'eccentricity and magic'

@claremulley Thought that read 41. Said to myself - I know she's prolific, but surely not that many. Anyway, congratulations. Soon to be 41

Mike Lynch the tech entrepreneur who tragically drowned when his yacht went down off Sicily was a massive James #Bond fan. Acc. to his obit in @guardian, his company Autonomy's conference rooms were called after Bond villains and a tank of pirhana fish sat in reception.#007
