My post Sherlock Survives:
The Theory (about the mysterious ending to a BBC TV drama) has now taken
over top spot in the list of all time most-viewed posts. The visitors have come
not just from the UK
and Ireland, as
you’d expect, but from as far afield as the US,
Australia, Asia
and all corners of Europe including Russia.
But this post isn’t about statistics. It’s about the fact that
a TV programme can unite people all over the world in the quest for an answer
to a question: how did Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character, survive the fall
from the roof of Bart’s Hospital?
TV’s big, isn’t it? Imagine what a tremendous power for good
it could be in the world if only we concentrated on putting it to that use.
But let’s not be too cynical because, just occasionally, we do.
