Just finished watching the last episode (number 154) of "Elementary" on U TV. I've never seen Jonny Lee Miller before. I know he was in "Trainspotting" but as I have a decided aversion to n****es I couldn't bear to watch that! But I loved his Sherlock Holmes, and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson was superb. I would recommend this series - very clever update to the classic stories.

Would be interested to hear what others thought of it if they have watched it.

I’ve also been watching this. It is a good series. I remember Aiden Quinn when he was in Desperately seeking Susan, the film with Madonna. Such a nice looking guy.
Also on U tv, is ‘Why women kill’ another good series

I can only think it’s a reference to the homosexual references in Train Spotting.
I hope I’m wrong.

I think it’s ‘needles’.

I recently started watching this, really enjoying it. Just started season two, so a lot of episodes to go.

I don't know either.

Not narcotics as there is no 'e' in that.

Ah, yes.
I'd have to turn away too.

I really enjoyed this series and was disappointed when it ended.

It’s a great series - I’ve been watching 1 a night, and several series to go. We have Sky glass though and can’t fast forward the ads angry. I agree about “Women who kill” too - don’t let the title put you off.

An added bonus is that when I have been watching it on my Chromebook, there are no adverts!
