Yes, that's how it goes. Murders and confessions are terribly random things.
The thing that irritated was Anna Friel whining I created a problem and worrying about his innocence. Most people in forensics/criminal justice are pretty resigned to njustices happening pretty often.

What's most surprising about Sherlock is that people aren't complaining about the 'created by' credit. he has created nothing. The character is exactly as Conan Doyle wrote him. There is nothing new at all. Giving moriaty Loyd grossman's accent isn't inventive.
Watch me update the Poirot franchise with similar brio:
Poirot is a young detective living in arty farty block in Brooklyn. He wears skinny jeans, plays the Bala laika and has a circus moustache. He travels everywhere on a skateboard called Hastings.
Episode 1. Murder at the Orient Espresso.
Some c**t drops dead after drinking coffee... etc.
Or it could be set in a very unhygienic coffee shop and be called "Weevil Under The Bun".

Not aimed at any one in particular, but why is it the general consensus that it's Kate? My thought was that it was the one with the teeth and terrible hat sense. Bea or Eugenie? No idea which one's which.

I think you've answered your own question.
Plus Kate was all over the news with the wedding six months earlier, so I imagine everyone was getting zeitgiesty.

Not heard it called that before.

Yes, it's a total wank word used by media types. I apologise. 
Good I was about to ask to see your license!
And give you a clip round the ear with a bunch of aspidistras

I had my license revoked because I couldn't colour co-ordinate.
Yes you were constantly clashing
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ January 8 2012, 4:06 AM GMTAs much as I respect your view on things Godot, I really think you've missed the point entirely. Sherlock, is without a doubt, one of the best written and acted shows on British television.

'''yes that something of the sort.

I see.
THe Baskerville episode had a 70s British sci fi fell about it, Doomwatch or Pertwee/UNIT era Dr Who. But is was Gatiss who wrote it so I shouldn't be surpised.
Keep it coming as it's better than Monkfish on sunday evenings.
