    If you haven't seen "Mr. Holmes" please go see it. It's very good. When I was a teen and a voracious reader, my Dad brought me the first Sherlock Holmes collection and I fell upon it with glad cries.A life long affection for the sleuth developed. This movie is a lovely way to set Sherlock in his final years, finally willing to drop the walls and care for someone.

    I'm an English teacher here in Brazil and I love watching interviews like this one.
    For me it's quit hard to understand everything Ian speaks because of the way he does and his accent - I'm used to the American English - however I keep trying and studying more and more to be able to understand it all ♥

    I came here for Ian and enjoyed his portions, but is there a worse interviewer than Larry King? He has a list of questions that he has to ask - no matter where the conversation could go, if he paid attention to the answers. And he absolutely never listens to the answers, he barely lets them give a full answer.
