Sherlock needs an e-cig!

[Chrissie]

Did anyone else watch the first episode of the modern day Sherlock last Sunday?

I thought it was brilliant & when I saw he was wearing nicotine patches, I though he could really do with an e-cig It would so fit in with his quirky up to date character & of course would be fantastic publicity for the e-cig

For anyone who missed the first episode, you can watch it via BBC-iplayer.

Yes, Chrissie, I watched it last night (had recorded it) and enjoyed it - and I am ultra critical of, and usually cheesed off with, the BBC's drama offerings in recent years (except for Cranford and a couple of others that you may remind me of) but they may have a rich vein here if they can keep up intelligent writing and don't go off the rails in their efforts to attract the "wrong" market.

Funnily enough, I was envisaging Sherlock lying back on his sofa with vapour wafting from his elegant e-cig - and saw him using a passthru so that he would appear wired up to his supply, taking the place of intravenous heroin

I really think the BBC missed a trick there - it just shows they didn't take any notice of the letter I wrote them after Linda Robson's first quit-smoking programme, the buggaz

Benedict Cumberbatch (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is the son of Wanda Ventham

I'd also recorded it Scylla & watched it Friday night. It really is the best thing I've watched on telly for yonks!

And yes, I agree, the BBC missed what would have been a great trick.

I watched, and thoroughly enjoyed too. I chuckled at the number of patches!

Is Cranford ever returning - new series, not re-runs? Summer TV is always pretty dire IMHO.

[Scylla]

I don't know if there wll be any more Cranford - maybe another Christmas special?

Would it be worth writing in to the producers? It's such a good idea! Or do the words pearls & swine come to mind ???

THE PATCHED ARE A SORTA COMIC PROP SO WONT WORK

[Chrissie]

Lolli, I was wondering about writing in. It's just a series of 3 at the moment but hopefully they will produce more.

James, I know what you mean re the patches, but I do think it could still work.

oops sowy

[Hanow]

I bought and tried patches when travelling back and forth to Thailand - sometimes meaning that I had to be circa 18 hours ciggy free. Patches were utterly useless (for me). I would arrive at BKK airport, desperate to get my cases, then to get through customs, in order to get outside to have a fag! Sheer bliss. Anything or anyone who added to a time hold-up' was in danger of a dose of my wrath/impatience.

But now, with the e-cig - never again! How good is that? Airport staff are now absolutely safe.

[Chrissie]

Nothing to apologise for James

It really is good isn't it Hanow

Mmmm, I hope there will be more.

Maybe several of us should write in - wonder if they'd take any notice ???

[Scylla]

That's a good idea Lolli but I think I'll wait, it could yet go off the rails I haven't watched Ep2 yet, need to be properly awake and fit

I'm also waiting to see what happens in episode 2. Will watch it later on in the week.
