Well I never! I put on Guy Ritchie's new Young Sherlock and they're talking about holomorphic functions and branches of log and solving the (solvable) quintic 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5 = 0.

It's actually a pretty stupid show but I won't hold that against it. It's witty at times and overall I think it might just be a winner.

BTW The original Young Sherlock Holmes movie was major a milestone in computer graphics - but that's another story.
