Sherlock

[inulro]

While I'm thinking about it, this week's Sherlock is the first I've not enjoyed that much.  I'm sure it was of similar quality to the rest of the series, but the only Sherlock Holmes story I really enjoyed as a child and read lots of times was The Hound of the Baskervilles.  I do understand that Gatiss & co. are only loosely basing this series on the original books, but I was really looking forward to something that didn't materialise.

It was a Jon Pertwee-era Doctor Who episode masquerading as a whodunnit. Given that Doctor Who hasn't exactly been brimming over with good stories lately, I'm at a loss to explain why Gatis and Moffat thought that this script deserved to be in Sherlock when it was clearly much better suited to Who - and needed there more.

That hadn't occurred to me, but you are right on this. It would have been better on Who.
