Happy Birthday Cary Grant!!!  |  January 18, 1904 - November 29, 1986

Everyone likes the idea of Cary Grant.  Everyone thinks of him affectionately, because he embodies what seems a happier time – a time when we had a simpler relationship to a performer. We could admire him for his timing and his nonchalance – we didn’t expect emotional revelations from Cary Grant, we were used to his keeping his distance, which, if we cared to, we could close in idle fantasy.  He appeared before us in radiantly shallow perfection, and that was all we wanted of  him.  We didn’t want depth from him; we asked only that he be handsome and silky and make us laugh. –Critic Pauline Kael

Stephen Thompson

So apparently Stephen Thompson was the person behind the show we loved? The moment he left everything went downhill (TAB+) yet he was always overlooked by Moffat and Gatiss and the fandom.. 

Sorry Stephen Thompson. The Blind Banker was much better than the whole S4 monstrosity.

The Sign of Three was a brilliant, warm, emotional episode that we will love forever.

And you wrote the Reichenbach Fall, probably one of the few pieces of art TV can claim. 

Respect. You did a great job.
