After the offering the other day I'm now wondering whether to bother with this in the future!
The edge is gone from what I've seen.
Yes the windmill's gone and his wife is a drip but all the characters seemed to be trying to outdo each other in terms of neurosis!
One of the things I liked about this series
before was the clues were often there for the viewer to pit himself against the TV character.
That's gone, apart from the obvious picture upside down scene - well it was to me, as I read "Holmes" immediately and thought 'why's it upside down?' but we knew about the make-up artist anyway didn't we, so it wasn't that hard to guess, or was was it?!
I may just watch the next one to see if it does improve but TV's almost always like this with resurrected successful series not quite up to the original. stevmk2
