Sherlock Holmes and the mad world of the Daily Mail

Gordon Kerr's picture

I was leafing through the online comments of the "demise" of Sherlock when I came across this little gem.
It just shows they're alive and out there and they can type!
Shame it wasn't in purple ink!

Honestly, what a pile of drivel. My children were watching. Who in their right minds thinks that the amount of blood shown after the detective's fall is acceptable? Typical left wing "I-love-bodily-fluids" hippies, thinking that everyone shares their depraved opinions. What would Her Royal Higness think, being confronted by a scene like that. She survived TWO WORLD WARS! DO YOU THINK IT IS NECESSARY TO REMIND HER OF THE BLOODSHED? The BBC should be ashamed of this so called "adaptation". An adaptation needs to keep common elements with the original. This worthless waste of space and time shares nothing with the original work's perfectly executed Victorian finesse. Conan Doyle would be spinning in his grave, unless some god awful television writer decided he hadn't actually died and it was all fake.

Surely

that is written in jest? - poking fun at the sort who write in to news papers to complain

That's what I thought

at first but found he's got form. He's popped up on other articles spouting similar weird views. Last one was about Bilderberg consipiricy and the secret world govt. Maybe it's David Icke?

Never mind the secret world government.

What about the secret World War. Surely your monarch isn't old enough to have lived through the First World War?

'Mr. Lionheart of Buckinghamshire',

is the second cousin twice removed of 'Angry of Tunbridge Wells' who is the brother-in-law of 'the Man on the Clapham Omnibus' who married into the family of 'the Man on the Street' who used to go drinking with 'Our Man In Havana.'

I'll get my smoking jacket.

Anyway,

who the feck is 'Her Royal Higness'?

Is she married to a former member of The Higsons? Is she the producer of Have I Got News For You? I think we should be told.
