The British: exhibiting deductive brilliance--in more ways than one--since 1887 (and still going strong)

"[Y]ou can see why men wanted to get the look. Perhaps they noted the effect [Benedict] Cumberbatch, by no means your standard telly hunk, had on lady viewers ... and decided it must have something to do with the clobber. So it is that Britain's latest men's style icon is a fictional asexual sociopath first seen onscreen hitting a corpse with a stick. Surely not even the great detective himself could have deduced that was going to happen."
-- Alexis Petridis, journalist
(bolding mine)
IN OTHER NEWS: sudden attack of Sherlock Holmes obsession reported. Fine end to 2010 this is, mm.
