It's definitely better than it was for me a couple of days ago ( laptop only ). Maybe it's just feeling it's age and taking longer to warm up

Not the finest, in my opinion. Why does the Christmas season have to have a ghost story? I know it's winter, dark nights, and all that, and Dickens probably had something of a hand in it, but it seems a bit odd to me. I usually watch them, love Gatiss, but I didn't really thrill to this offering.
