Sherlock was brilliant. Why has nobody thought of doing that with text messages before? Inspired. I love how the set at 221B Baker Street looks like a thirties refit of the set from the Granada series.

Only false note for me (and it was a very slight false note, barely a semi-tone) was the too-whimsical Mycroft, who seemed to have stepped out of an episode of The Avengers. But otherwise - yes, more of that, thank you very much. I request that telly be like this more of the time, otherwise I'll have to go back to my West Wing uber-mega-marathon.

Upon which subject: Jed Bartlet is such an arse.

Yes there was a bit of lull about halfway through. What was the Princess Bride scene?

Having to choose between two drinks knowing one of them is poisoned. (http://honesthypocrite.blogspot.com/2006/07/game-theory-and-princess-bride.html)

I was quite pleased when I saw the cabbie was Phil Davis... but I think the problem was that they were quite pleased he was Phil Davis, too, and kept the final scene between him and Sherlock running longer than it should have done.

Ha, I'd forgotten that bit!

I was so sad that it didn't end up with Holmes having spent years building up an immunity to iocaine powder.
