The Daily Teaser …

Blimey!

I’ve got to confess, I’m writing up today’s Teaser with ITV3 on, in the background; they’ve been showing various episodes of the Jeremy Brett version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

I’ve got to admit, I’ve always felt — like many other people — that his berserk performance as Holmes was definitive. And it’s easy, watching the show, to see why!

Anyway, let’s move on, shall we? Shall we?
