As if revising for end-of-year exams wasn't bad enough, students at Cardiff University have an extra special distraction to deal with today.

Sherlock.

Yes, the BBC1 drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman is currently filming inside Cardiff's Student Union itself.

No surprise stressed students are finding it kind of hard to concentrate...

Cardiff students are used to this kind of thing happening of course, what with Doctor Who and Class also filming in the city.

But still, surely this kind of thing warrants some sort of special consideration?

Some students were able to drop everything and run.

Life isn't fair.

The one day I don't revise at the SU, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are there filming Sherlock ???

Although, could be worse. What exactly is a 'fake Mary Berry appearance' anyway?

Good luck with those exams...
