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.

I did not notice but I make Jeremy sound like Plácido Domingo.

I’m listening to the repeat and I think Graham’s version is at least as
good as the overrated Queen’s.

Well, granted, the song doesn't have that much tonal variation....but
still. ;-)
