I have long been a fan of Sherlock Holmes. The eighties version starring the late, great Jeremy Brett is definitive in my view. Whilst I fully understand that this is an ambitious 'different take', and that usually anything written and 'put on' by Mark Gatiss is well worth a view, I'll not be watching future episodes. Am I the only viewer out here who considers this a pile of incomprehensible, pretentious garbage? A case of the emperor's new clothes I fear.

On a positive note, it's great to see Wanda Ventham again. Us blokes of a certain age will remember a series like UFO, with great fondness. It's just a shame about 'Sherlock'. Conan-Doyle fell out of love with his creation, but even he would spin in his grave over this travesty.
