New funny detective series on the BBC. Apparently they're based on books but I've never read them. Only seen the first episode but planning to watch the 2nd on iPlayer soon. I guess I would describe it as a comedy and a lot of the way the cases get worked out seems to happen by luck, although he is kind of clever as well and does some deducing of his own. I reckon there's a lot of Sherlock influence in the writing - quirky and unusual detective with vaguely antisocial behaviours and a more down to earth assistant who has to put up with him and apologise for him. It's definitely worth a look and has some good laugh out loud moments.

I'm basically just trying to find things to distract me till summer 2013.
