TV review: Sherlock | Television & radio
'Ask me what that is," I say to my girlfriend, nodding at my new purchase, a small tree in a pot on the patio. I've been hoping she'd ask me of her own accord, but it's been a few days and she hasn't, almost certainly on purpose – to hurt my feelings. "Go on then, what is it?" she sighs. "Ah ha," I say, whipping out the magnifying glass I just happen to have about my person. I make a play of examining the evidence, the dark green shiny leaves, the smell that comes off when I crush one in my fingers. "Vicky!" So that didn't work. "Meretricious," says Watson. Moriarty, his arch enemy, turns out to be this Graham Nortonesquecharacter. Of course, it's all been shunted forward 120 years or so, so The B-P Plans concern a new missile-defence system, and the pips are not the sort that may one day turn into an orange tree (my dear Watson), but the kind you get on the speaking clock. My job is to nit-pick, though. So now we enter the Great Hiatus, a terrifying void of Sherlocklessness.

Ten Facts about Sherlock Holmes | Interesting Literature
1. Sherlock Holmes was originally going to be called Sherrinford. The name was altered to Sherlock, possibly because of a cricketer who bore the name. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Holmes (of course), was a fan of cricket and the name ‘Sherlock’ appears to have stuck in his memory. Doyle was also a keen cricketer himself, and between 1899 and 1907 he played ten first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club – quite fitting, since Baker Street is situated in the Marylebone district of London. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
