I wanted to play a cop drama cliche drinking game while watching, but I think that way cirrhosis lies.
Just catching up on Natter - your cousin is Diane Abbott? I'm very glad she's running.

Yeah. Thanks. She probably stands no chance in hell, but at least she's a different choice from the rest, you know?
Will check out the Guardian link.

I'm completely behind her (yes, partly because she's a woman, although also because she actually seems to give a damn). It's definitely a good thing that she's a real alternative.
Someone catch me up on Luther. Worth getting hold of, since I missed it?
If it ever crosses the Pond, I'll watch it, but I'm an Idris fangirl.

Hrm, probably. It's utterly cliche-ridden and filled with cartoon villains, but you can tell the whole cast are loving it. It should still be on BBC iPlayer I think.

Fab. Shall take a look.
Seska,
I watched "Luther" and I think it is pretty good until the last 2 or so episodes. It almost like the show went completely off the rails at a particular point and it never regained its footing. It was pretty decent until then.
The finale needed a Greek chorus.
I heard the ratings weren't great, so I don't think it will be back.
I hear the new BBC drama miniseries "Sherlock" is to be discussed here.
Andrea and I were quite amused.
I have yet to persuade The Girl, a Holmes fan of most traditional sensibilities, that she's going to enjoy it. Hoping Moffat wins her over soon, 'cause I want to see it.
I think the pleasure for an original Holmes fan would lie in knowing the stories and seeing how they've updated them. It's the sort of thing where I'm sure being a fan adds a whole other level.
Alternatively can't you just watch it by yourself...?
