@puroandson
Some things have needed to change @missy though I do understand that in some situations attitudes should be interpreted differently and as always, questioned, by each of us personally. That way, I suppose, we all stay happy, without fear about how one should act within each and every situation.

And I agree with you up to a point. All I can see, is that young people (with exceptions) have no respect for the police, teachers or their parents, ever since caning was banned! Please don’t tell me that times have changed, and that won’t work anymore. Just tell me how one deals with children who tell their parents, police and any other grown up who crosses their path, to F*** off and in many cases use violence? By sitting them on the ‘naughty seat?”
This is what I mean by one type of political correctness. “One mustn’t slap one’s child.”

And now for something completely different.
I think that this applies to you @ichabod.

Whilst trawling YouTube, imagine my surprise, then delight, when two Videos put out by the BBC in the 70’s, coughed up: Lost hearts and A Warning to the curious – both by M.R. James!
The first was, I admit, a little dated, but enjoyable all the same.
I have yet to watch the latter and wonder whether or not there are any more.

Thought this news might be of interest?

Perhaps it’s my age, I don’t know, but I have little patience with all this “Political Correctness.”
Let’s face it, all the above is virtually – or at least on the borders of – PC.
Be careful not to hurt or offend, naturally, but if I want to go arm in arm with my best friend, I shall.
I feel that if people keep quiet about ‘sensitive issues (the word is correct in this context) then nothing will change, except to get worse.
That’s how I feel at any rate.

@kbranagh A Kleenex moment if ever I saw one – loved it. As you say, the chemistry was solid and immediate.

@ichabod The superb and haunting theme written by Murray Gold, made the final scene a champagne moment.

River. “I hate you!”

Doctor. “No you don’t.”

@ichabod

Difficult in’t it. How does one define a 1. psychopath or 2.sociopath?
Perhaps it’s as simple as: 1. behaves in an antisocical way, does bad things, is aware of it, but doesn’t care.
2. Does all the above, but sees no harm in what he does and can’t see what all the fuss is about.
I know that’s simplistic, but am unable to come up with any other explanation.

@theconsultingdoctor

“Creator Steven Moffat says that Sherlock is “definitely a love story” between John and Sherlock, but he questions why that means they need to have sex. “What a weirdly sexualized world we live in where you insist they must be having sex … you can love someone without fancying them.” I appreciate Moffat’s sentiments and applaud the courageous creativity it took to write about non-sexual love between two men. It’s a difficult theme to present in a hypersexualized world that equates almost all love with romantic, sexual love.”
Just thought you might find it interesting. Again, I do not “ship” the two myself, but I do admire their chemistry.

I could not agree more. I believe emotion is called “man love.”

I have heard that hrere are different kinds of psycopaths and that we all probably know at least one.

@ichabod

Your mention of psychopath or sociopath was interesting.
Some time ago, there was a programme on TV about psycopaths. Unfortunately I don’t remember the title of the programme, or the chap who presented it, other than he was an American and was involved with medicine in some way.
It was decided to take brain x-rays or scans of known psycopaths serving a life sentence, and ordinary everyday people. They took 6 of each group. Looking at these x-rays a large portion of the brain was missing (coloured green) in the 6 psycopaths, but in tact in the other group.
Ironically, the chap presenting the programme, was told by his mother, that he had a mad relative. Just for fun, he had an x-ray taken of his brain and guess what – a large portion was missing, just like the prisoners. Weird!
He then told us that his son had told him, that he (son) had always been afraid of him.
He topped the programme, by saying that when he’d attended the funeral of an Aunt recently, he’d walked out and went fishing. He knew it was wrong, but he simply didn’t care.
His childhood had been happy with no big traumas, had it been different, he may have been violent.
Interesting don’t you think?

I finally got to the site you recommended and received a blow. I assumed – incorrectly – that the recording was an actual video – film.

I’ve got this story on a CD, with Derek Jacobi as MR James, and the tale performed as a play with the BBC players.

It’s wonderful. Thank you anyway.

Take cooking for instance. One takes the time to cook a tasty meal and it’s gone in about ten minutes? so much for creativity.

As for rest, it’s boooring! Definitely NOt relaxing or mentally stimulating.
If I can listen to a talking book (which I do a lot) whilst slaving away with the duster, broom, and cleaning liquid, I can bear it.

I think that Sherlock and the Doctor are similar.
In DW 8 “Into the Dalek” when asked who Clara is, she replies” I’m his carer.” to which the Doctor replie:”Yes, she cares, so I don’t have to.”
In Sherlock’s case, John cares, so that Sherlock doesn’t have to.
We all know that this isn’t strictly true, both of them do care, but have trouble showing it. Even Moriarty backs up this fact.

@amagad

Hello there *waves* welcome to the forum.

To your question. In my mind of course ‘she’ is. It seems that the Doctor mostly goes where he choses, but if the

TARDIS feels he’s needed somewhere, she takes him there.

She is his perfect. loyal and constant companion.

She is the real STAR of the show. Without her, there’d be no Time Lord – no Doctor Who.

If you ever get the chance watch this series. ACD knew Doctor Bell,worked with him and used him as his model for Sherlock Holmees.
Ian Richardson plays Bell. I saw a picture of the actual Doctor Bell and IR looks very like him.

Sherlock pretends not to be a romantic, and yet he wanted (as has been mentiond above) a Pirate and he loves dancing. A Consulting Detective has, to me, romantic connotations. Writing a piece of music for Mary and John’s wedding, was very romantic, as was throwing his buttonhole to Janine at the reception. Putting all that together, tells me that, in this at least, Sherlock is a fraud – but a clever, caring and sensitive fraud.

As for Redbeard (interesting article btw) there are so many theries, that I shall just wait and see. Perhaps ‘he/she’ was handicapped, and perhaps that is why Mummy gave up her career, or maybe he/she died at birth? Then again, maybe Redbeard was a dog.
None of us know for sure. This is the glory of Steven Moffat, he is so devious and loves to get the fans debating.
