“I think the steak and kidney pie. What say you, Watson?”
“I say that you go directly from ‘miraculous recovery from melodramatic wasting disease’ to ‘death by grievous gastrointestinal assault.’ For goodness sake, Holmes, start with a consommé!”
“I shan’t. The claret and biscuits had a negligible effect. And you’re wrong.”
“About?”
“It being melodramatic. Melodramatic would’ve been going blind.”

Ooh, interesting. Although I'm with Watson - it was melodramatic.

Oh, very melodramatic, I agree, but the Thing that Some People Are Saying About BBC Sherlock is a common storyline from some of the soap operas (which are shows, I guess like East Enders? but on from like 1-4 in the afternoon) which I used to watch growing up and they were MELODRAMATIC! I mean cheeserifically bad, bad!
