‘Mr Selfridge’ Series 2 Episode 2 review

Talk of Britain being on the brink of war causes unrest within the Selfridges staff, with fears that they will all lose their jobs if Mr Selfridge escapes back to America to avoid the European conflict. This, and demonstrations by Trade Union representatives, leads Harry to create an ‘Empire Exhibition’ to explain to both the customers and the staff that the store is staying put. This is topped off with a staff party held at Delphine’s to boost morale, but with it comes all sorts of conflict and drama.

‘Inside No. 9’ Episode 1: ‘Sardines’ review

Likely to be smuggled your way under a blaze of pretty much no publicity whatsoever, this dark delight from Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith is BBC Two’s new modern version of anthology tales such as Tales Of The Unexpected and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But to sell it as merely some kind of unimaginative remake would be to sell it short.

‘The Musketeers’ Episode 1: ‘Friends and Enemies’ review

Adrian Hodges’ adaptation of Alexander Dumas’ novel occupies the post-Sherlock Sunday evening slot on BBC One and it looks the part. Prague doubles for a lived-in Seventeenth Century Paris, and the fight scenes are stylish and kinetic. A strong and charismatic cast delivers, though ultimately the end product is solid rather than exceptional.

‘Sherlock’: ‘His Last Vow’ review

Those of a certain age may remember the 90s show Breaking the Magician’s Code, wherein a chap in a mask and gaudy suit debunked a series of magic tricks, including falling from a great height, being shot, and getting rid of an elephant from a room…

Anything sound familiar, Holmes fans? For the audience it was a dual draw: fun to see the illusions performed, and equal fun to see how they were accomplished.

‘Sherlock’: ‘The Sign Of Three’ review

‘I think, sir,’ a boatman from Cornwall famously once remarked to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, ‘when Holmes fell over that cliff, he may not have killed himself, but all the same he was never quite the same man afterwards.’
