Watched the second Sherlock, and while I liked it a lot more than the first, I'm starting to get sick of the ol'

The final episode of Sherlock was well edited, well acted and well scripted, and would have been some pretty awesome TV if it wasn't an episode of Sherlock.

Seriously - what the fuck was all that about? They built a world for us in the first series and that episode shat all over it.

So, I agree. Loved watching it, but the endings are so poor.

I don't think there's anything more I can add to it. It was great TV, but I expected something different.

Kern with the winning joke!

I have to concur. I enjoyed it, but it was a bit silly, and not really what I wanted.

Though worth it just for:

Moriarty! I just love that actor as the character. I was ever so upset when he died. Lovely to see him back, even if the video stuff was a bit rubbish.

Eh. It was an enjoyable episode, but a real pity if it'a the last ever, which I believe to be the case.

Clearing out my DVR, I caught up with 'Cunk on Christmas'. I've always been a little bit uneasy about Ms Cunk's oeuvre, and wasn't sure that she could last half an hour, but I was pleasantly surprised with many laugh out loud lines, of which I've listed three of the most memorable:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
"...Like Jesus, Father Christmas is used as a bribe to make children behave, although in his case the prize isn't eternal salvation but rather presents..."
"...Santa judges a child's goodness mainly on parental income..."
and, of course, the entire description of 'Die Hard' as the ultimate Christmas movie


Worth catching up with whilst your local still serves mulled wine (so, anytime before mid-March)

No. He gave a someone ambiguous quote saying he didn't want to play Sherlock again but it would be unlikely we'd see it 'at the same regular cadence'.

So, er, dunno.

I'd like to see a Doctor Who episode featuring all three contemporary depictions of Sherlock working together.

Just because.

Yeah, tonight has hard. I got the Parliament holidays and Peter Rabbit and I think that was about it.

I only got the F1 on the missing vowel round, too.

BBC Four, 21:00 tonight: Scotland and the Klan.

This looks interesting:

By deep South, they mean the colonies, not the Isle of Wight.

This phrase really annoys me, unless you're actually talking about the original colonies and not modern America for a change. It's so condescending.

What? No it isn't. Especially not coming from Kern, who I would suggest is by far the most learned and respectful chap on the subject of Americana that we have.

It comes across lording superiority over Americans for some unknown reason, when we're just as bad.

Also I'd say his opinion on British colonialism is possibly somewhat different to mine.

I think you're trying far too hard to be offended there. When people refer to America as "the colonies" the joke is because they are a global superpower, massively bigger and more important than we are. It's not "lording superiority", it's wryly acknowledging the opposite.

Err, no. It annoys me because I've been specifically told by Americans who live here that they don't like it. It's eye-rollingly cringeworthy. :shrug:

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION: I do not think that Kern means it in this fashion. I am well aware of his affinity and love of Americana. It's just a phrase I have seen him use a lot recently and it was starting to irk me.

That has been in TV before, relatively recently. It's really interesting television (though I came to it with very little previous knowledge on any of the things being discussed).

Also, a quick search suggests he's used the word "colonies" 7 times since 2011.

search.php?keywords=colonies&author=kern&sf=all&sc=1&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&style=26&submit=Search

Alternative facts! ;)

I may be missing something though.

I clearly need some new material. :)

No offence was intended, and certainly none was taken from Myp (although our views on colonisation are probably closer than he thinks).

Surprised I didn't catch it before then! Although, since the BBC 4 newsletter stopped I only tend to hear of good things if I remember to buy a paper on a Saturday or if it gets mentioned here. Should start using the Iplayer more.

Has anyone been watching Hospital? It's a documentary focussing on the impossible decisions that are made on a daily basis in our hospitals.

It's brilliant. It's riveting. It's fascinating.

And it will make you fucking furious with what is being done to NHS. It will fill you with bottomless admiration for the people working under this pressure and, by and large, doing an amazing job.

I was pretty interested in this when I saw it was coming. I've still got The Shepherds Crown sitting unread..... struggling to start it when I know it's the last new one I'll ever read.

I was pretty interested in this when I saw it was coming. I've still got The Shepherds Crown sitting unread..... struggling to start it when I know it's the last new one I'll ever read.


So firstly be warned there are spoilers for Shepherds Crown in there.

And I think the hardest parts for me to watch were some parts where you see Terry really struggle to find the words he wants (and getting frustrated by it) and then when both his daughter and one of his best friends break and start to sob

I suspect I'm very late to the party here but police procedural No Offence is pretty fucking good:

It's great to see Joanna Scanlan in a serious role, and I'm probably a bit biased because I'm slightly in love with Alexandra Roach, but it's solid and incredibly compelling stuff from the writer behind Cracker and Shameless. The second season doesn't quite stand up to the first but it's still very good stuff throughout with a good mixture of 'case of the week' plus constantly ongoing narrative.
