It makes a change that it's set in current times, instead of Victorian London, where Sherlock Holmes stories are normally set.

I'm watching some programme about BNP wives on Sky 3. Not really sure why.

Apparently these three 90 mins episodes/films stick pretty close to the books.  Can't say I've ever read them so will be interested to see what people who have make of them.

The overuse of what I guess is the theme tune was a bit tiring during the first 20min setups. Oooh look their going into baker street - doo do doo do, now they've met the house keeper doo do doo do, they're leaving on an investigation doo-do-fucking-do.

The clues popping up in stylised touch phone text seemed a tad gimicky at first, but it's a nice way to reveal clues to the viewer without constant patronising dialog to poor watson, or without instantly having sherlock reveal all the answers. Gives you something to work out yourself.

Looks pretty promising really.

Haven't read any of the source material since I was about 13 so any of those reference are going to go straight over my head.

You've been trying to pull on a Friday night in Wood Street haven't you? Have you got a house keeper?

Couple of saturdays ago, lesbian hen night. No house keeper though.

Not really as interesting a night out as it sounds, bit of a random one though.

Lesbian hen nights are interesting....seems like a bit of a waste, but you'll always watch when they start snogging each other..

Been invited on a few reg? The one I went on wasn't particularly lively. It was more to do with the couple in question being bullied into going on a night out.

Not sure about that Baker Street place, seemed alright for an evening, although I was already pissed and had just been paid which is always a good combo. Always seems a bit dark in their when I walk by in the day, that's obviously not much of a problem once the sun's gone down though.

No, I know a few lezzers, mainly from work and other random stuff, but it's more an observation.

Agree, Baker Street seems a bit too dark to want to go in during the day, but I did break a vow and go in there a couple of weeks back on a Friday night....nothing to report really...just ok.

The vow was taken many years ago, when I was banned from the Cross Keys.

The banning was done by a bloke....no offence intended if it is your brother in law or something, but he was a complete prat.

Twas good, It was very loosley based on "A Study in Scarlet" Which I reread about 6 months back. The original was based on a man hunting and bumping off Mormons who had aided in killing his intended. The actual start where they met, was pretty much word for word, after was pretty much different to the book.
