I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

It's kebab tv, I know it's full of crap and bad for me but I still quite enjoy it. Plus this year they have three 'celebrities' that I actually recognise from outside the programme.

I got a season and a half into Elementary without recognizing the lead actor. Apparently I need to rewatch Hackers and Trainspotting.

I don't watch much TV, but I am a fan of Sherlock. Did anyone watch the new series? I enjoyed it, but in a three episode series, really at least one episode should be on concept. I found myself at the end longing for an episode where they just get an ordinary case and follow it from beginning to end. I worry that directorial style has overtaken basic storytelling a bit, with too much of an episode shown in flashbacks, and sometimes not even that excuse for showing things in a distracting nonlinear fashion. Also, too many abstractions of Sherlock's deduction processes. This stuff is not story! We had five minutes of him deciding which way to fall after being shot in the last one.

Does anyone else think that Jonathan Pryce got his part i Game of Thrones after his convincing performance as the Pope for the last few years?

I prefer to think of it as he got the part because he's English, and they keep killing characters off, so they're cycling through actors quite quickly (for some reason they seem to like English actors in these sort of fantasty series and films).
