The benefits of a PS3 - iPlayer naturally hooked up to the TV. Even my  
parents had to use theirs to watch "Lark Rise to Candleford" which  
inexplicably failed to record; shame the official remote doesn't work with  
the web/flash interface in terms of pause etc. though; they're not used to  
the 'proper' controller.

But yes it was an enjoyable series I did like how both Mycroft and  
Moriarty were introduced; it took nerve to mislead the audience in that  
way as well as rely on their memory. I'm currently running through the  
Jeremy Brett series and I find it interesting to note the touches that  
both Cumberbatch's "Sherlock" and Downey's "Sherlock Holmes" lifted from  
it.
