Watched about 20 minutes of an episode of Snuff Box.
What the fucking fuck? Someone at the BBC was seriously high when they greenlit that program. |

I think Smack the Pony had a similar series of "...my boyfriend..." skits.

Not strictly speaking 'Brit TV', but about Brit Tv...
PBS Masterpiece Q&A with the star and creators of Sherlock (no Gatiss or Freeman alas)

No Gatiss, no watchiss.
Okay, untrue. Thanks for the link. Just been watching Freeman being Bilbo whilst doing the ironing. Me ironing, not the Bagginses. He was messing about with trolls.

Found this whilst messing about online.
Very British. Very Ant & Dec. Very Robbie Williams. Made me snigger. OMG - just noticed Piers Morgan in the background!

I know I'm a few years late, but... I just recently got into Sherlock. I am in all kinds of love with that show. Up to series 2, episode 1. Kitsune and I have made watching it a date night, so I'm having to fight the urge to watch the rest of series 2 without him.

I would have resisted this new retelling. I don't like retellings. It's what happens when Hollywood films books or true stories.
But I was sucked into it by the stellar cast and I have to say it really worked for me. I'm in all kinds of love with it too. And please don't forget to worship at the altar of Mycroft, who is a co-creator, executive producer, writer & actor. Also a modern day raconteur, and a perennial on my Dinner Party list. The Lovely Mr Mark Gatiss.

Have you seen he's been cast in Game of Thrones? *big grin*
Oh, btw: Fuck you and fuck J and fuck everybody else who persuaded me to watch Les Revs. Goddamn you all to Hell. Brilliant. Completely brilliant and compelling from start to finish. Well, I say 'finish', but that's probably the wrong word. Massive fucking cliffhanger is more accurate. And now I have to wait until 2014 to see what happens!! Hate you all. Just thought you should know that. I have expressed the same to J.

Love you to bits too darlin'
Glad you enjoyed it. But of course it wasn't really a cliffhanger ending, it was a French ending. So no doubt the next series will not be same bat-time, same bat-place. Gatiss in GoT? Ah no. Do I have to watch it all now? Everyone seems to think it's marvellous, but I just can't commit the time! No, it's all getting a bit tricky!!

Finished The Hounds of Baskerville tonight. Scandal in Belgravia currently my favorite episode. I am desperate to watch the last episode but we'll probably leave it for the weekend. I do love Gatiss as Mycroft, and I especially love how petulant Sherlock can be when interacting with him.
Speaking of Gatiss, Moffat, and "do I have to watch it all?" -- will I be hopelessly lost if I try to start watching Doctor Who at the 2005 series 1, since I'm missing 50 years of backstory and British pop culture? |

I think this line's mostly filler.

No. All required backstory will be provided in the episode.
Certain episodes (especially the return of Sara Jane Smith and K9) won't have as much impact as they otherwise would, but you won't be lost.

Yeah, it's a fresh start with the 2005 reboot.
When Doctor Who ended in the 80s (and also with the ill-fated 90s movie) the Doctor's people, the Timelords are still alive and powerful. When it launched again in 2005, they stripped all that away and gave us a Doctor who is alone. The last survivor of the Timewars. But all that backstory of the Time War is given through the new episodes. It was never covered in the show itself.

Started Doctor Who to tide me over until Sherlock series 3 airs. How are these characters so instantly likeable?!
