Assorted Ramblings...

I’ve been feeling like crap for the past few days so I haven’t felt like doing much. Even reading a book has seemed like too much of an effort when I can hardly manage to keep my eyes open for longer than half an hour at a time. Instead I’ve found myself sticking audio books on the mp3 player and dozing in and out of them. On the downside, it means I’ve missed huge chunks of them, but on the upside, who could complain about going to sleep and waking up again to the dulcet tones of gentlemen like David Tennant and Richard Armitage?

There is method in my madness.

( long ruminations on this week's Sherlock and some obvious parallels with another know-it-all who needs a companion )

So. Sherlock. I’ll start out by saying that I loved it and am looking forward immensely to the next episode.

I'm not an afficionado of Sherlock Holmes, although I've read some of ACD's stories and remember watching Jeremy Brett, for many the definitive Holmes, on the telly in the 1980s. When I originally saw the trailers for this version, and before I knew who was behind it, I was going to watch on the basis that Martin Freeman had been cast as Doctor Watson, and he's one of those actors whose name will entice me to watch a show if I know he's in it!
