So, Sherlock Holmes is alive and well, working in the 21st century, helping out the police with their enquires, equipped with mobile phones, computers and Google Maps. No, wait, come back: it’s better than that – much better. Traditionally, when there’s been this sort of twist on the Most Famous Detective In The World™, it’s … >
Wanted: new man to replace the previous, uh, Tennant. GSOH, travellers welcome. Good sense of timing essential. Room may be bigger on the inside. Series 5, so far, has seemed a lot quieter and more cosy than the rest of nu-Who that has preceded it. While there’s been Something Very Important hinted at on the … >

So, what’s your theory? Is it all an experiment? Are Sam Tyler and Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) figments of Shaz’s imagination? Is there, indeed, Life On Mars?
‘Amy’s Choice’, at first glance, is one of those episodes where the plot is running on the spot. But it’s certainly not running on empty.
