They who are so fond of Handling the Leaves will long for the fruit at last

Humans! They lived in a world where the grass continued to be green and the sun rose every day and flowers regularly turned into fruit, and what impressed them? Weeping statues. And wine made out of water! A mere quantum-mechanistic tunnel effect, that'd happen anyway if you were prepared to wait zillions of years. As if the turning of sunlight into wine, by means of vines and grapes and time and enzymes, wasn't a thousand times more impressive and happened all the time...

It has long been a dream of mine to make a compilation of the hysterical stylings of Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes. History relates that the BBC actually received letters of complaint regarding this Laugh-with-a-capital-L, and such outbursts of amusement were tragically kept to a minimum after the first series.

The first short interview clip is from ep. 202 of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere podcast. The following, in airdate order, are from BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes (1989-98) dramatised mainly by Bert Coules, with the exception of the final clip from the last episode of the extracanonical Further Adventures, which aired in 2010.

I can’t believe this was Disney Star Wars. This was absolutely brutal. I would’ve been happy with a solid fight, but we got what’s probably the second best fight in Star Wars history, numerous deaths and that plot twist at the end what the fuck.

RIP Jeckie and Yord. Both very surprising wtf, Dafne Kean was great in her role and she deserved more screen time!!! Yord’s death was so unceremonious and quick my jaw was on the floor. He came back to help and it cost him his life..

This is what people want from Star Wars. Literally all we been asking for and we finally got it. Stakes, twists, cool ass fights with the force, the hand to hand combat like this was just peak. Ahsoka had bits of this but not to this level.

I hope they keep it up with this series because there’s a lot of cool lore things they can expand on. Knights of Ren with Qimir having Kylo’s theme playing at the end, force healing as a Sith? What Sol is hiding? I NEED THE NEXT EP

This is the New World's everlasting loss.
