"It's hardly surprising, the lead actors' careers taking off the way they have. I thought they might miss out a whole year. Anyway, I can catch up on Dr. Who."
"I can't imagine you're behind, with the complete set of DVDs _and_ the Christmas specials."
"Not really in the mood, autumn last year. Greg said I wasn't missing much."
Sherlock reflected that he owed Lestrade yet another pint. "Let me know if you do, I might sit in."

I could watch BitTorrent of Dr. Who badly dubbed in Russian or properly in Basque, very good for improving my fluency. If anyone were paying attention, it didn't endanger my cover identity. Our television is pirated in most of the major languages in the world. There are several advantages to being British."
