Book Rating
The second of AJ MacKenzie three 100 Years War novels following the exploits of the Herald Simon Merrivale, which - this time - moves the setting from France across to the Scottish border.

I'm also finding this a little bit hard to rate: whilst the *story* was interesting, as was the history, I found the prose itself to be a little bit too dry; never really grabbing me and sucking me in the way a, say, Bernard Cornwell might.

I'll still read the next in the series, though.

TV Season Rating
The third season of CBS's modern-day American-set reinterpretation of Sherlock Holmes, with this season - IMO - very much one of two halves: during the first season we have the whole Sherlock and Kitty plot arc (whilst he is initially estranged from Watson), while the back half is more akin to the first two series in set-up.

I must admit, also, that - while initially I found her to be quite annoying - the Kitty character did actually grow on me over the course of the season.

Who you gonna call? Ghost breakers!!
Classic 1980s supernatural comedy horror, that originally was going to be called Ghost breakers if they couldn't get the rights to the name, and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver.

A bit dated by today's standards, and I recently found out that it was also rushed to meet a deadline (which might explain the sometimes ropey effects), but it does have a bangin' theme tune alongside an interesting take on the 'going into business' scthick.

Good but not explosive
From the same team as Line of Duty and the Bodyguard series comes this shot series following an Explosive Officer on the Police force. It's interesting and feels realistic in terms of the police side of things dealing with a series of explosive devices are found in London. Good production values but the main plot is quite simple compared to the intricate plots of Line of Duty. It's very short at 6 episodes as well.
