Sherlock Holmes

[John B]

Did anyone else think that yesterday's Hounds of the Baskervilles was bloody silly?

No, sorry - I really enjoyed it. I love Sherlock Holmes... and can't wait for the next one.

Saw the first one of the series the night we got back and thought it was great, can't wait to watch the rest, wathced another episode of 'The Slap' instead last night, only two more to endure, ffs!

I only saw the last 10 minutes or so of Sherlock Holmes, as Son 1 was hogging the TV and I had to wait until it was over to rob the controls back off him.

To be honest, I thought it was more akin Dr Who than Sherlock Holmes, and I don't think I'd be a fan.

Problem is that Sherlock Holmes is not a modern character, and there's no place for making him look like a "hip & happening Mr Wise Guy". Give him back his cape and pipe and let him be who he was created to be.

....... or am I seasonably a bit late for my "Bah Humbug" routine!

Yes I thought it was like Dr Who too, Bernie.  I enjoyed the first series, so I think they've tried to make it even whizzier this time.

OK, Elle, what happened right at the end - after the actual story was over and a man walked out of a room?

Haven't seen the TV version, but I felt exactly the same about the recent film - Hollywood making him an action hero when he was anything but....

Yes - I find it very much like Doctor Who too... which is probably why I like it so much.

John - I thought that was "a weapon", as in someone being sent after Sherlock... possibly from Baskerville... but then I also wondered if it was his arch enemy (whose name escapes me). It happened quite quickly so wasn't sure. It's just whetting our appetite and providing a link to a future programme anyway - the tv plots often do that and then throw it back at us just as we've forgotten it. Doctor Who did it with "Bad Wolf", "River Song" and a few others.

How different we all are!!  

We can agree on one thing though!  



WE ALL LOVE LANZAROTE!!

So... was that just a three parter then? Like the first series?
