Nice find, @thommck !

@JimtheFish and @ScaryB I will certainly grant you that Conan Doyle is not Dickens 🙂

As you say, fish friend, the original Sherlock and Watson are Victorian gentlemen and Sherlock’s clients are generally upper or middle class.

However, Sherlock’s investigations do take him to parts of London other than the West End. For example, he visits an o…[Read more]

I have really tried, when commenting while on the web, to make a point of avoiding making critical comments on those drongos who engage in ad hominen attacks (whoops, I have already broken the pledge!), but the current culture of incivility and “tall poppy” envy-fuelled hate (agree e…[Read more]

@Phaseshift @JimtheFish

Agree completely with your “tall poppy” comment; I find it thoroughly depressing; especially as it tends to be contagious.

And with @Thommck‘s comment re the “casual viewer” – see my comment above re starting off with The Empty Hearse. What IS a “casual viewer” anyway?  How many of the 8-9m viewers are casuals, and how…[Read more]

@thommck

Yes, I’m not sure I could define what a casual viewer is any more. I think the BBC probably judge it right relying on a combination of vieweship and Audience appreciation index, and both are OK.

Increasingly though, it’s an international market. With the commercial arm divvying up money as well, they know what sells in what ter…[Read more]

Unbelievably excited for the return of Sherlock on New Year’s Day! Can’t believe it’s been two years we’ve had to wait to find out HOW he did it. Actually, come to think of it, it does feel like two years!! The minisode whetted my appetite good n’ proper. I swear the theories have got wilder. The latest one I read was that Sherlock and Moriarty…[Read more]

@FatManinaBox @Thommck and other  Tweeters

Just come across Dalek Thay on Twitter – he’s quite amusing for a Dalek – tho a bit pissed off at the moment, what with the Dalek ship being blown up and the doctor escaping. Again.

Of course… It makes so much more sense now 😉

@Geoffers

“kids are bonkers with excitement…”  sums up this forum quite nicely!

Sums me up, that’s for sure. I’m going to be wishing Christmas day away till it’s Time for the Doctor 😉

@Thommck Nice (11th hour, ha!) theory re Stormageddon

Matt is the 13th Doctor

that’s got me confused tho… I thought he’s either #11 or #12. I’ve missed a…[Read more]

I am looking forward to The ‘Tractate Middoth.” I didn’t know about “Whistle and I’ll Come to You”. I will have to hunt it down.

@Thommck. Love that first sofa. The second is fun but I could not imagine anyone actually having that in their living room. The first would look good as a piece of furniture.

Cheers

@FatManInABox – A ‘Heads Up’ – Unfortunately your CGI Dalek pix don’t seem to be showing…

@thommck – Nice festive pix!

@thommck, calling dibs on the second sofa. It’s MY color.

@FatManInABox and @PhaseShift,
Any sign of 10 Time Lords a leaping during your cleaning and shopping? My true love promised them to me, but I’m worried they’re time locked.

@thommck

Brilliant sofa 😀 (Want one!!)

@JanetteB

I feel your frustration! But agree with your long held suspicion that Santa is indeed a Time Lord 😉 (unless Roddy Doyle was right in Rover Saves Christmas (one of funniest books I’ve read, great for kids and adults (tricky at bedtime though))
