Cheers Harry - if she'd written smaller she'd have had time to finish the message.

A lesson there for all of us I think.


An interesting bit of trivia in the Radio Times (UK TV mag):
"It's now thought that the first use of "Elemantary, my dear Watson" is actually in P. G. Wodehouse's 'Psmith. Journalist' (1915) - it's certainly not uttered by Holmes."

I didn't know we had Wodehouse to thank for that - along with so much else!

I found a link to watch this online outside the UK. If anyone wants it send a PM.

I like Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes. I don't really like seeing Holmes as a real person, if that makes sense. But, this show is entertaining and I'll probably watch other episodes.

I keep waiting for one of these new incarnations of Holmes to use heroin. It's probably not going to happen.
