Sherlock Series Three, Episode Three - His Last Vow


 
 
A case of stolen letters leads Sherlock Holmes into a long conflict with Charles Augustus Magnussen, the Napoleon of blackmail, and the one man he truly hates. But how do you tackle a foe who knows the personal weakness of every person of importance in the Western world?
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
This episode is very dark and has an awful villain in it which gives me the creeps! There are a few surprises about Mary. Enjoy everyone. :) xx

Sherlock Series Three, Episode Two - The Sign of Three




Sherlock faces his biggest challenge of all – delivering a Best Man’s speech on John’s wedding day! But all isn’t quite as it seems. Mortal danger stalks the reception – and someone might not make it to the happy couple’s first dance. Sherlock must thank the bridesmaids, solve the case and stop a killer!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Episode 2 of Sherlock was great. It is John and Mary's wedding day and Sherlock is the best man. This episode is moving and very, very funny! There is a case in this one and you may feel confused at times, but stick with it because it is very enjoyable. :)

Sherlock Series Three, Episode One - The Empty Hearse


 
 
A couple of years after the shocking effects of The Reichenbach Fall, Dr John Watson has managed to move on with his life. London is under threat of a huge terrorist attack and Sherlock Holmes is about to rise from the grave with all the theatricality that comes so easily to him.



 
 
I enjoyed the first episode of Series 3 of Sherlock. It was brilliant, great, funny and sad!  I laughed a lot.  BC is as handsome as ever!  :)

Doc Martin (TV Series 2004-)




Doc Martin, now shooting its sixth charming series, is popular in more than 30 countries around the world, including Slovenia and Saudi Arabia. Foreign-language adaptations have aired in Germany, France, Spain, The Netherlands, and Greece -- and Russia may be next.


Martin Clunes and Caroline Catz.
Martin Clunes is Martin Ellingham (his surname’s an anagram for the name of creator Dominic Minghella), a London surgeon who develops a phobia to blood and who relocates to the picturesque Cornish village of Port Wenn, becoming the area’s general practitioner. He is gruff, intolerant, and rude to people, but over time he develops a relationship with and has a child with local headmistress Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz).

The community is full of quirky, amusing characters, including a plumber-turned-restaurateur (Ian McNeice), his son (Joe Absolom), Martin’s aunts (Stephanie Cole, followed by Dame Eileen Atkins), local cops, and a series of three dippy receptionists, among others.



This series is lovely, funny and set in a beautiful Cornish village called Port Isaac which I visited in July and fell in love with it. I highly recommend Doc Martin to everyone! :)

Downton Abbey Series Three, Episode Seven



September 1920. Bates is freed from prison, to the resentment of Thomas.

 Upon O'Brien's advice, Thomas makes a midnight visit to Jimmy's room and falls into O'Brien's trap.



Branson plans to baptise baby Sybil a Catholic. While Lord Grantham discourages Edith's desire to become a journalist, Violet supports her granddaughter.


Edith comes to London to meet with a magazine editor, and accepts his offer for a weekly column. Branson's drunkard brother comes to Downton. Matthew continues to confront Lord Grantham about the estate's mismanagement, leading to the resignation of the family's long time agent Jarvis.



Tom is appointed as the new family agent upon Violet's suggestion. Miss Sybil Branson is baptised at a Catholic Church in Ripon with the whole Crawley family in presence.



 
 
 
I love the Matthew and Mary scene. I hope Edith finds happiness soon, happy she is sticking up for herself. Thomas is in hot water! Oh dear! xx 
 


Downton Abbey Series Three, Episode Six





September 1920. Branson decides to name his daughter Sybil and wants to baptise her as a Catholic, both of which Lord Grantham is firmly opposed to. However, Mary and the rest of the family defend Branson's decision.

To repair Cora and Robert's marriage, Violet pressures Dr Clarkson into going back on his assertion that Sybil would have had a slim chance of living if she had undergone a Caesarean section. He tells Cora and Lord Grantham that Sybil would have surely died either way, and Cora forgives Robert.


Anna finds evidence that might prove Bates innocent, but another prisoner threatens his chances of freedom. After Bates threatens the inmate, George Murray is able to get Bates a release date.



Daisy is upset that Alfred is paying a lot of attention to Ivy.



Ethel prepares a luncheon for the Crawley women and gets Mrs Patmore to help. When Lord Grantham finds out about the luncheon, he is outraged that Isobel would let a former prostitute serve lunch to his family. However, Cora and the women ignore his protests.

 


 
 
I love the scenes with Matthew and Robert, Matthew, Mary and baby Sybil and the luncheon scene! xx
