redfiona99A couple of weekends ago, I watched Broken Holmes (http://www.brokenholmes.co.uk/), a Sherlock Holmes parody.
Now, before I comment upon it, I have to admit to a mild conflict of interest, because I know the man playing Holmes and his little sister is a good friend of mine.
Even without that, it would still have my recommendation because it's very funny, and disturbingly accurate. Imagine the most recent Sherlock Holmes but with the subtext being text, and taken to its logical conclusion. It's set after "The Empty House", and years of putting up with each other has started to wear on the 'great detective' and his collegue.
My favourite bit had to be Fido (comment shall remain unexplained for fear of spoilers) but I liked how they did the villaness and Lestrade.
If it happens to be showing anywhere in your vicinity, go along.
