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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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...?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm pretty well up on the Holmes canon, and I thought it was great fun.
