One of the BBC's Christmas highlights is a new episode of Sherlock. I really enjoyed the previous series, second only to the great Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce who will never be bettered.

Despite this, I don't think I will enjoy it as much as before. Instead of seeing Sherlock, I will see Cumberbatch preaching and sneering at people who don't share his lovey views on the world and how we should be managing it.

I won't see Watson but, Martin Freeman telling us how the Labour Party and, Ed Milliband in particular, were the only choice to take the country forward and rid us of the misguided people who think that socialism isn't the great answer to everything.

I am sure they are perfectly decent people but, they should stick to what they do best, pretending to be someone else. If they want to be politicians, drop the day job and try to earn a living as a politician. I doubt the money would tempt even their social consciences.
