I loved the old black and white Sherlock Holmes films, with the part played by Basil Rathbone MC. No cinematic or small screen portrayal has yet come anywhere near his definitive interpretation of Conan Doyle's great detective. Nevertheless, the BBC have just spent an awful lot of money on their latest version of Holmes and in about an hours time we shall see the results. All I know is the setting is no longer late Victorian London but today's multi-cultural garbage bin.

I can only await what trendy mess they will make of this. No doubt Doctor Watson will be a black lesbian but probably in paying lip service to the original books she will be suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome as a result of her service in Britains 4th Afgan War. Holmes, will of course, be a druggie - this time on Ectasy and the Met Police will be incapable of detecting and arresting villians because they spend their time beating up. killing and shooting innocent bystanders.

Needless to say, I shall switch this on but I shall have the vomit bucket at the ready. I anticipate no more than five minutes of this nonsense before the said utensil is used and then the contents thrown over the TV, at which point I'm off down the pub.
