Somewhat onto the nth episode of Sherlock Holmes which has been broken up with the joy fest hat is Wallender and the lovingly creepy Christmas treat that is crooked house that once again proves that Mark Gatiss is a fantastic writer and does a decent scottish accent to boot.
Somehow this year I've more or less got all of our X mass present shopping which leaves more pottering time of course and shows that I am properly turning into my mum, I've also had plenty of time to finish watching Channel 4's (or E4 or More 4 Im not sure what the different is) excellent programme Misfits about a bunch of anti social teens given super powers, which all sounds very pastiche (see Heroes for reference on how to make it rather boring or at least never ending) but actually has been one of the best things on, helped by great acting and lashings of rather inventive swearing all round (not really one to watch with Nana unless your Nana likes swearing and rude stuff, she might, I dont know your nan; anyway the fact that it has a tiny budget that would probably just about buy one explosion in Spooks (or an empty warehouse) or one coffee for Simon Cowell seems to have made the writers even more creative setting the whole thing around a community centre and focusing on dialogue rather than flashy effects.

Its up on 4 on demand as well as itunes and DVD, be warned that the More 4 website does give away some of the plot including Nathan's mystery power so watch the episodes before venturing on there, you have been warned.

Right back to Holmes
