The Woman.....

Hubbah, hubbah, hubbah.

Ratatoille is on BBC3

..was entertaining but i didnt realise new abfab was a series, siiiigghhhhhh

This^^^^^

 

Didn't AbFab used to be funny & not have a canned laughter track?

Hadn't seen any of the previous ones, was that representative? Will have to go get the DVDs I think.

Not so far as I could tell. But new one is definately even less funny.

PrinceJohn---no.

Very enjoyable, made even more so by the presence of the delectable Lara Pulver!

Sherlock was true to form and great tele, the woman in it, damn fine!!

Even the mrs said she has a great grabbable bum!

Very good and Lara Pulver made it even better.

Did'nt even know about it before stumbling across it this evening (I don't watch much telly).Downloading the first series on i-tunes now!

Haven't seen before but enjoyed that.

I never really thought about the whole dominatrix thing.
Until watching Sherlock.
Oh, dear me.
Oh course, there [i]was[/i] Servolan in Blake's Seven...

thought she was a bit hammy in Spooks (even by the standards of spooks) but was good in this. really enjoyed it, shame they feel the need to later explain anything vaguely intelligent or subtle (eg. safe code) but annoyed I missed the first series if it was as good as this.

First series was excellent and definitely worth renting.
This was more of the same. Superb telly.

I LOVE Sherlock Holmes but didn't really get the gist of it as my mother bought an iPad today and needing talking through bloody Facebook over the phone because she simply had to know how to do it tonight ffs. Normally I would complain about you lot drooling over the naked lady but I have quite a thing for Sherlock to be honest and his voice.... omg could listen to him allllllllll day :). So you can perv as long as i can to. Started to watch an fab but it really wasn't funny so gave up and had a shower instead, that was funnier.

Thought the woman's maid was pretty tasty. Last series was awesome and this looks to be of the same caliber. Looking for ward to next weeks.

Una Stubbs... 😀

Bits felt a bit lowest common denominator in this way (safe code as you say, taking her pulse, etc.). Bit disappointing that Moffat writes all the subtleties in but then feels the need (along with the director presumably) to go back over them and make it all obvious.

That aside, some of the best written, directed and performed drama on TV at the moment. Really enjoyed the nod/dig at the Guy Ritchie Sherlock films in the 'headbutt' scene tonight.

Only one bit confused me a little. At the safe opening, the "Vatican cameos" line. I know it's a reference to The Hound of the Baskervilles (next week's story-ish), but anyone shed any light on what it meant in terms of Sherlock's and Watson's actions?

slainte ❓ rob

Not sure about the 'Vatican cameos' bit either, although I've read every Holmes story, I just can't remember the details.

Not everyone is as smart as a mountain biker, otherwise we'd all be mountain bikers 😉

I loved the start with Watson's blog and the updated names for the old adventures

I love it when Sherlock talks really fast!!

Ive had a bit of a dig around about "The Vatican Cameos" as I too am a bit of a Holmes geek.

Just flicking though my facsimile of the entire Strand published stories, Ive found the reference to the Vatican Cameos in Chapter II of "The hound of the Baskervilles" where Dr Mortimer has just read out the published details of Sir Charles Baskerville death. Holmes says that he had seen some newspaper reports but had been "exceedingly preoccupied by that little affair of the Vatican Cameos, and in my anxiety to oblige the Pope I lost touch with several interesting cases."

Conan Doyle never wrote any more on the Vatican Cameos, but there have been some pastiche short stories written apparently.

So, no idea what it meant when he said it except to duck I guess for the benefit of Watson having already caught a knowing glance from Irene Adler.

Seen the websites?

heard mark gatiss interviewed on 5live promoing this series (and I didnt see the first) they seem to have had a lot of fun with in-jokes and references, such as deliberate continuity mistakes (eg. injuries moving) a nod to the older TV series. I assumed the obviously out-of-sync violin bowing was along the same lines, along with the slow mo fight scenes.

think they are a clue to where the story is going relative to the original? Think the third one is called The Reichenbach Fall, so could be the downfall of sherlock rather than a literal gravity assisted plunge?

Not seen those sites. Just done the first two messages. Now for the third, which wont be so easy to solve using Excel 😉

EDIT. 3rd one not that tricky either it seems. Im off to aplpy to MI6.

the Hobbit was put on hold to allow filming of this series...

Just watched this on I player. I loved the first series and this was more of the same... very very slick and utterly entertaining.

Watched it last night, it was good, but she was a bit rubbish.

Same as the last series, its almost fantastic, but just missing something.

Enjoyed it. I'm glad some of the subtle deductions were highlighted in summary for me otherwise they would have passed me by [not being too bright 😕 ]. So, did anyone [brighter than me, obviously 😉 ] get the unlock code before it was revealed? (my 221B proved to be incorrect although I was pleased that it also crossed Sherlock's mind)

Ohhhhhhhh wasn't it good 🙂 I pooped my pants

It was great, I even understood it all [bonus]

just keeps getting better!

I thought it was pants.
Too Dr. Who for my liking - should be on at Saturday afternoon so all the kids can watch it.
Benedict Cucumbersnatch is just trying to be David Tennant, which isn't a good thing.
Martin Freeman can only play one character.
.
What was all that 'memory palace' guff?
He's no Columbo.

Dull tonight.
Can only get better.
Or worse.

After tonights episode I am never going mountain biking at night again !!! 😯

Very good - bit of a Holmes fanatic and was initially very dubious about this reimagining.

No issues so far; very respectful towards the original text, nice allusions to other cases, well realised characters, interesting storylines etc..........

Conan Doyle himself was a bit unsure about Watson's wound - leg or shoulder? 😀

Not so sure about the writing tonight, but the direction/cinematography/editing just gets better and better.

I think it's now my favourite looking TV show since the X-files.

slainte 😀 rob

if you think thats bad then you should definately watch dog soldiers for the real 'PLF' instinct

- bit of a Holmes fanatic and was initially very dubious about this reimagining.

As was I.

No issues so far; very respectful towards the original text, nice allusions to other cases, well realised characters, interesting storylines etc..........

Agreed.

Slightly disappointing episode tonight. If I remember right, the 2nd ep in 1st series was the same.

So how did Watson get drugged, if he hadn't been to the hollow, and it wasn't the sugar?
Sorry if I missed it!! 😳

My favourite of the original stories was 'The Man With The Twisted Lip'.

Love to see that one updated.

Leaky gas canister in one of the side rooms off of the main lab.

Enjoyed it but not one of the best ones.

Did they do anything with the escaped prisoner? They mentioned it early on but nothing came of it...?

I'm guessing that's a reference to next weeks episode, hence the Moriarty bit at the end

Incidentally, last weeks was the first I've ever watched, wife watched first series but I couldn't be bothered......since last week I watched the first series then tonights, it's programming I don't mind my license fee funding

Just watching the 'Baskerville' episode now ... Missed it last night as I was out, in the pitch, pitch darkness, over the hills, beyond the cave.
****, I'm going to need more lumens off Troutie now. Bloody big, wild dogs ... Proper scary!

That's what I assumed.

I am enjoying the series so far with its humour and nods to the old school. I cracked up at the dogging.
