    Loved the new podcast, just what I needed on a dark cycle into work this morning. Totally agree with you on the Doctor episode, the special was definitely the better of the two stories but the Christmas one had some lovely moments. Also having the pleasure of sharing Sherlock with my own 14yr daughter this year after I managed to persuade her to try the first two series before Christmas and we are both loving the new series, although some more meat to the cases in the first two episodes wouldn't have gone amiss.

    I have also added "The Name of the Wind" to my kindle list on your recommendation but it will have to wait till after I read "Dream London". Having just finished the Stephen Leather "jack Nightingale" series I need something new to get into.

    Looking forward to the next podcast, Ta very muchly!

This is the very brief blog I wrote about it :   Ten Years Of The 10 th Kingdom   Recently I re-watched the entire 7 hour extravaganza that is The 10 th Kingdom.   Shockingly – to me anyway this programme is coming up to being 10 years old, how did that happen?   This programme – for those that haven’t seen it, is a wonderful story set in the 9 Kingdoms of fairytale. Snow White, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood were real people who lived in this alternate world. A young woman and her father accidently get sucked into this magical place through a magic mirror and go on an amazing adventure trying to find their way back home, and end up finding so much more.   How does it hold up after ten years? Pretty blimmin well actually, the ef...
