TV

Gangsta Granny
Every bit as good as last year's excellent Mr Stink. Keep the Walliams adaptations coming, I say!

Sherlock
3x01 The Empty Hearse
Well... hm.
Based on Twitter, some loved it and some hated it; others were just disappointed. I'm somewhere between all three. I thought it indulged too much in soap opera elements at times, letting character rule story; but it was largely funny and entertaining, and at times clever, so I can let some of the off bits slide. Not the series' best episode, by any means, but equally far from its worst.
