Sherlock: The New Year’s Day Special — The Abominable Bride

You know, I have to admit to feeling vaguely grateful.

Vaguely.

I’m grateful to have some time off at the moment.

I’m grateful to have a fourth generation Apple TV: complete with an onboard version of the BBC’s iPlayer catch-up app.

I’m bloody annoyed at Amazon: managing to lose an internal hard drive I’d ordered from them.

That latter … ?   Is something for another post, maybe.   Quite probably in the morning!

At any rate, gratitude?

Yes, I’m grateful to have much I otherwise wouldn’t have.

You see, working on New Year’s Day … ?

Meant I missed the seasonal special of Sherlock.

Called The Abominable Bride.

And frankly?

I’m glad — and grateful — that I caught it.

Vaguely Devilish …

Actually, following on … !

And, oh boy, and don’t I ever do that … !

Following on form the recent post I had up about the Pacino/Reeves film, The Devil’s Advocate, I’ve got to admit that something I forgot to mention when I put that post up, was the fact I had my copy of iTunes quietly playing in the background.

The playlist I choose to have on … ?

Was mostly a lot of 1980s electro-pop.

What tickled me at the time was the first two songs in the list.

Ones that — at the time — seemed rather appropriate, given the film I’d just seen.

In no particular order, they were the 1984 Propaganda song, Dr Mabuse and the 1983 Heaven 17 tune, Temptation.

And what I meant to do at the time … ?

Was put up a link — if nothing else — to the videos on YouTube.

You’ll have to accept my humble apologies.

And attempts to rectify the fault …
