UPDATE: Goldney Hall on Sherlock

Warning: Contains spoilers, so if you haven’t watched the show yet you’d better not read on!

If you managed to sit through the convoluted, disjointed, pretentious and often incomprehensible bore fest that was ‘Sherlock’ last night, you’ll have noticed that Dr Watson’s wedding took place in Bristol’s stunning Goldney Hall.

In fact it was very nearly the scene of a gruesome murder… although it probably wouldn’t have been as horrific as the sight of Goldney students stumbling back from a night at Lizard Lounge.

A great wedding destination… an awful best man’s speech

Oh, didn’t our Goldney look good? Shame the script didn’t live up to the beautiful scenery. After enduring Sherlock’s dreadful, never-ending best man speech, mixed in with pointless flashbacks and the usual hammy acting from Mycroft, we eventually learned that an unfortunate guest was the target of a very crafty killer.

One of the Goldney guests was in for a horrible surprise…

Sherlock leaves the Goldney Ball… Oh wait that was cancelled wasn’t it?

After Sherlock saved the day, the episode ended with a somewhat awkward disco, with none of the characters enjoying themselves and the famous sleuth standing like a statue in the middle of the dance floor.

Something about the atmosphere made me imagine it was what a UBU Suspension night might be like if people actually turned up. Still, at least we got to see Goldney all lit up at the end. Lovely.
