TV

Sherlock
2x02 The Hounds of Baskerville
Shame about the dodgy CG doggy turning up at the end. That aside, I enjoyed this, a solid modernising of a familiar story with nice nods to the original. The revelation about the morse code was a particularly amusing twist -- hound, dogging, hehehe, etc.

TV's 50 Greatest Magic Tricks
Regular readers will know I love a bit of magic, and so what better piece of entertainment than this, Channel 5's three-hour countdown of the best tricks TV has ever offered. And it was brilliant too, though there were quite a few tricks I wish they could've found the time to show in full. And, of course, I wish we were told how they were all done.
