So you made it up Caz. That's what you're saying. You don't secretly work for Sky's marketing department?!

I rather like the concept of having a verb as a friend.

I don't know where it came from but I've been saying it for a while. I probably did make it up. You should know who I work for by now

For those of us even further out of the loop, it was on ITV2 last night. Watched it and well maybe I'm getting old now.

I'm up to the first advert break and I'm liking it so far. Intelligent and amusing and because it's set in the current day with a female Watson babysitting him because he's a coke head it's a new twist on the old tale.

Doyle's Holmes was also a cocaine user. Except in the modern day, he would definitely have had to go into rehab.

Holmes was a drugs user From Wiki  |  |  |  | Quote: Use of drugs
Holmes occasionally uses addictive drugs, especially when lacking stimulating cases. He believes the use of cocaine stimulates his brain when it is not in use. He is a habitual user of cocaine, which he injects in a seven-per-cent solution using a special syringe that he keeps in a leather case. Holmes is also an occasional user of morphine but expressed strong disapproval on visiting an opium den. These drugs were legal in late 19th-century England. Both Watson and Holmes are serial tobacco users, including cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Holmes is an expert at identifying tobacco-ash residues, having penned a monograph on the subject.
Dr. Watson strongly disapproves of his friend's cocaine habit, describing it as the detective's "only vice" and expressing concern over its possible effect on Holmes's mental health and superior intellect.[19][20] In later stories, Watson claims to have "weaned" Holmes off drugs. Even so, according to his doctor friend, Holmes remains an addict whose habit is "not dead, but merely sleeping".[21] |  |  |  |  |
