if yous knows us, yous already darns wells knows hows much we suffer from Anglophilia. you would be wise to catch the sickness too, cause the ye Olde Countrye is churning out some mighty stunning material these days, which you can anglo-file under ‘A’ for AWWWWWWWWWWWESOME. one such filmed entertainment that has so captured our hearts and thighs is the 3 part modern-day Sherlock Holmes mini-series called…
SHERLOCK!!!
it’s, as the English say, ‘brilliant’!!! 5reals, yo!!! 6reals, yo!!!! it makes Guy Ritchie’s Holmes look like a broken Holmes!!!! and it stars 2-time Fenella Woolgar Bestest Names Award winner Benedict Cumberbatch as the super sleuth IN MODERN TIMESSSSS!!!!! and not only does he own Holmes in the name game, but he owns the role too. he relishes in it so dangs much that he may have to start his own relish company!!!!!!!!!! CUMBERBITCHES!!! and to make matters even bester, his Watson is played by the wisecrackin Martin Freeman, aka Tim from The Office, aka Bilbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the beyond thighnamic duo haves so many clues that it’s no mystery how fanastic this mini-series be!!! and it’s all so elementary my dear Emma Watson, and there’s no face like Holmes + a million other Holmes clichés and puns!! and the good news for you is that if you missed it on BBC this past summer or on PBS for the past 3 weeks, shiz is being released on DVD like NOW and STUFF!!!
but wait, there’s mohr from their shores!
pissed at how lame Running Wilde is as a pseudo-answer to the Arrested Development blues?? yeah, we three, but be pissed no further lads, and turn your attentions to IFC’s abroad broad comedy…
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret!!!!!!!
David Cross crosses every London Bridge and glorifies every refarted British stereotype as an American fish well out of the chippy water. it’s, as the English say, ‘brilliant’!!! 9reals. it’s the perfect combo of British dry wit and American slapstickery. it’s also the funniest show we’ve seen in 2010. and remember, we think NOTHING is funny, so that statement hactually means something! + Neil from The Inbetweeners (the 2nd funniest show of 2010) is on it AND the theme song is by Johnny Marr. and luckily for you, IFC renewed it for a 2nd season AND be re-airing all 6 eps starting this Friday. make it happen future Anglophiliacs!!!
