Just watched "Sherlock" 2.1, which aired on BBC1 on New Year's Day. Another brill Steven Moffat script (leagues better than his admittedly good-natured, family-oriented "Doctor Who" Xmas ep), directed by the great Paul McGuigan, and featuring a stunning performance by Lara Pulver of "Spooks" and "True Blood" as Holmes' female nemesis Irene Adler. It was simply outstanding! Alas, it won't air on PBS for months, which is a sorry situation for eager fans of this Bafta- winning program. PBS: Pretty Bad Scheduling.
