@BeeBabs @afrosinchick Hi.. we’re not but I feel like we are. He’s a truly great talent and I’m so enormously proud of him - as I would about my own sons. Thanks for loving the show. Very best wishes.

Get on a running machine and set it at 2.50 mins per km. Put in on ‘20’ setting. Any regular human will last seconds if able to get up to that speed at all. #Kipchoge

Dear gorgeous Una Stubbs. What a sad sad loss. She was and will remain such a beating heart of Sherlock and a billion other things, not least her family. I totally fell in love with her. She is (I’ll never say was) an incomparable human of loveliness.

My father died in his Care Home just over a week ago. He was frail and it was mercifully quick. Primary cause of death 'Respiratory Tract Infection'. He served his country for nearly 40 years in the RAF. Will he be "counted"?
