“Florence Nightingale was an amazing figure. She created the American Red Cross.

She put herself at great risks.”

Stefan Zweig

Writer

Martin Freeman

“Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut.

They're a bit metrosexual.”
