Enjoyed it hugely btw. Don't have time to flail about it, but just wanted to say that I'm very much looking forward to part 2, and wondering whether anyone would be kind enough to tape part 3, since we'll be going away.
Although it made me pine for the days when House was still good. I was watching completely torn between the feeling that Sherlock is amazing in its own right and I should just be thrilled about that; the sudden, happy realization that it was working to fill a House shaped hole in my life; and the crushing reminder of how much I used to love House and how bitter I am about how much it has been ruined.
And I used to watch House too, now many years ago. Gradually stopped the year after he fired the original team (series 3? 4?). Anyway, it used to be this whole thing, where Darcy's older brother (then a bachelor) would come round every Thursday for tea and we'd watch it after the kids had been put to bed. Not in a 'We get together to watch House' kinda way, more in a 'He always comes round on a Thursday, and House is rather entertaining, so we watch that'. *is nostalgic* These days of course, my dear b-i-l is happily married and has an adorable little daughter, so not so much with the visiting...
And hey, that was a ramble and a half. But yes, fond memories of House, and am happy I bowed out before it became bad.
I loved Sherlock, did you read in the paper today that he was up for Doctor Who? Oh I'm not surprised. And Matt Smith auditioned for Watson! Small world...
Get Sky Plus I don't know what I'd do without it. We usually manage perfectly well (re-play is a wonderful thing) but holidays are a problem...
I didn't know whether to say but the article also said he could end up playing the Doctor because Matt Smith has said he will finish after two series. He talked about juggling both roles.

And in conclusion: yay Sherlock!
