Got to hand to the mail for their "Murderers" front cover. Those bastards, who killed Stephen Lawrence never did sue did they?!

Another case of the Mail getting outraged, and then giving everyone else who missed it the opportunity to get outraged too.

Sherlock was the best TV I have seen for some time. Anyone upset by the nudity must go around with their eyes shut - and presumably their children are blindfolded ....

She is lovely. Definitely no excuse needed.

And it is a good drama series as well.

No I disagree. I thought Sherlock was very poor this week. Yes 'crushes from leftfield' was attractive - but so what, most of the program was unintelligible. I'll still watch the next episode but if it doesn't improve it'll be 'off with it's head.'

Looking forward to the new series of 'Above Suspicion,' particularly the development of the two main characters.

I have now watched Sherlock and it amuses me how scenes of murder, mutilation, treason and various other illegal acts are seen as sexy. Whereas side-on nudity is seen as offensive. It's a mad mad mad mad world.

I find myself in the strange position of agreeing with CL. This week's episode was largely ridiculous. Since when was Sherlock an action hero?

Ever since Robert Downey Jnr. portraited him as such in the films.

Completely agree with your first point, Noel. Di & me watched it last night after Emma had gone to bed to see if it was suitable for a 12 year-old and we agreed it was far better for her to watch that than play some of the violent computer games that much younger children partake in.

The fact that it's set in the 21st century and often revolves a great deal around modern technology is surely departure enough? If it was a faithful rendering of the original texts they were going for, it would be as per the classic Basil Rathbone versions.

It's been spruced up for a modern audience and to reflect its contemporary setting. To quibble over whether Conan Doyle originally wrote him as an action hero seems to be missing the point.

That said, not disputing views of the story as ridiculous: each to their own. I thought it was entertaining enough in an easy watching kinda way (and sure, the lady may have helped!).

I decided to catch up on it last night (based on a recommendation by SS ). I was laughing out loud especially at that bit where he was weighing up Watson with the analytical once over. Definitely a different Sherlock Holmes but a refreshing one. I liked it :thumbup:
