I agree Lyndon. Episode 2 was quite weak (written by someone other than Moffat and Gattis for what it's worth), but 1 and 3 was really really great.

I hope they can all get together to make more, I imagine it's hard for them all to get their schedules to align so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't more for a year or longer.

Absolutely loved the mini-series, can't wait for more. It's pretty much a no brainier on commissioning it based on the reception of the series, just a shame that their are split commitments due to Doctor Who. :(

finally something to hate Doctor Who for! :shifty:

Great episode and a great series so far, looking forward to it coming back which it will no doubt will.

I'd rather they keep it to 3 episodes or 6 at most purely because you don't to milk it to much....so say 6 episodes a year would be good.

I was just using the same time frame as an example, lol.

We need a Doctor Who episode where he meets Sherlock Holmes ;)

Sounds like a Children in need special waiting to happen. :D

The BBC's modern update of Sherlock Holmes will return following the end of its initial three-episode run, its producers have confirmed.

"There will be more," producer Sue Vertue told the BBC's Breakfast programme. "We're having a meeting to talk about how many and when."

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson, Sherlock has been a ratings hit for BBC One.

More than seven million people tuned in to see Sunday's dramatic cliffhanger.

Based on stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the 90-minute specials were written by Mark Gatiss, Stephen Thompson and Steven Moffat.

Moffat - lead writer and executive producer on Doctor Who - said there would "definitely" be more instalments in the future.

"Steven and Mark are very busy - Steven is obviously doing Doctor Who as well - so it's just when we're going to do them," said Vertue.

Moffat, her husband, also confirmed that any future instalments would remain 90 minutes long.

Great show so far. Though living in America, the land of 15-20ep per season/series it is hard getting used to the short seasons of BBC shows.

You just get into them and then they are done until next year. Like Top Gear and Hustle, only 6-7 eps are so short.

I can't wait to see some more of these episodes. They remind me of characters like Patrick Jane from the mentalist, and Sean Spencer from Psych. Though Holmes' powers of observation beat everyone.

Well dramas based on books are normally a short series but long episodes. ?There are tons of dramas like this. ? ?Our series are normally about 5-8 episodes.

Haha, I had a horrible feeling they were just going to end it at that moment, and then they did.

Though it's not like we don't know they wont come out fine, wouldn't be much of a series if the two main characters and the big bad guy dies in the first few minutes of the next series, lol.

Sherlock, Watson, and Moriarty get thrown into the pool by the explosion through ridiculous movie physics, Moriarity will have disappeared by the time Watson can save Sherlock with CPR. Sherlock is consumed with obession to stop him, and does everything he can to capture him. Next episode is written.

I decided just for a random choice to watch through this on my PS3 iPlayer.... I couldn't beleive how awesome it was, but goddamn it being only a 3 part series sucks big time.

I want more :yes: The stories were fun and the characters great, The actor's really pulled the roles off i think :)

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
