I can only assume the makers' of Elementary called me up, asked what I most wanted on the show, and got on with doing that and I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
"What sort of plotlines would you like?" I think they must have said.
"ADLER. I WANT ADLER," I would've replied, with dignity. "NOT JUST A ONE OFF EP PLEASE."
"Okay," said the Elementary people, "and who d'you want to play her?"
"NATALIE DORMER."
"Righto," said Elementary, "we'll get right on that."
AND THEY DID:
Natalie Dormer joins Elementary.
