Mikey said on facebook when Jim showed up they were suspicious, as he'd been looking out for the name. I was suspicious of how much he looked like Johnny Knoxville.

I didn't like the cliffhanger. There was too many layers, it had got silly. It was tense ... then it was tense ... I think the soundtrack is too loud .. then it was tense ... yeah, this is dragging now. There was such snappy editing in the rest of the episode, why is this dragging so much?

Aside from that, really enjoyed it. I'm hoping Moffat/Gattiss are permitted two christmas specials.

Despite fingering the bad guy (ooerr)I did really like it right until the big reveal. Jim Moriarty didn't seem to have the gravitas I expected him to. Mycroft for example was wonderful as a Moriaty decoy, then we get an Alan Cumming's from the High Life impression.

It's as though the guy playing Jim thought "yes! Jim Keats from Ashes To Ashes, only not actually scary!"

Further to this, Moriarty still reminds me too much on Johnny Knoxville.
