Dear Sir,

Sherlock Holmes threw a dummy of himself off the building and then ran down to lay in the exact position the dummy fell, deflating the dummy and putting it in his pocket. He took some drugs to stop his heart, making the hospital think he was dead. But he regained consciousness before his funeral, replacing his own body in the coffin with the dummy he had thrown off the building. Elementary.

Yours, Benedict Cucumberpatch

Dear Sir,

What was left of the hallucinogenic drugs used to make people think they saw a big dog in the previous week's episode, was put into the water supply making the whole country think they saw Sherlock Holmes jump off a tall building to his death but in fact he didn't.

Yours, Lord Haringey Butchersworth

Dear Sir,

It was Moriarty who jumped from the building, dressed as Sherlock Holmes. Moriarty was played by an actor who put a fake gun in his mouth and pretended to shoot himself dead. When the camera cut away he changed into Sherlock Holmes clothes and jumped off the building to his real death. Sherlock Holmes then ran away completely naked, just like that woman in the first episode in the second series, and met up with Dr Watson who luckily brought a spare deerstalker hat to cover Sherlock's penis. Sherlock then gave Dr Watson drugs to make him forget everything, and staged his own funeral... As the French say Et Voila!

Yours, Gerald Pigsniffer

Dear Sir,

I would like to complain about the nakedness in the last letter. It is quite disgraceful to publish such things in a newspaper that can be read before the watershed. I expect such filth from the BBC, but News International should know better.

Dear Sir,

Two Eds are better than one - congratulations to the two Labour Eds, Miliband and Balls, for choosing to side, at last, with the Conservative Party. Am I the first to christen them Ed Miliballs? Please let me know.

Yours, Margy Thatcher-Streep, Cheam

Dear Sir,

Further to your excellent article on topless pop singers in history on the 3rd of the month. It included an excellent selection of a number of rapscallions this reader had never heard of priorly but would like to investigate more, furtherly, if only one knew how to turn my YouTube on. Anyone?

Yours, Sir Reginald Boloocks, Wittingstall

Dear Sir,

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that English actor Simon Pegg is taking over Hollywood? Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Paul, and now playing the Number 10 cat in Thatcher alongside the inestimable Meryl Streep. He is simply purrfect.

Dear Sir,

I fear that David Cameron is spending much too much time with his friend Jeremy Clarkson following his latest outburst against the poor Tourettes sufferer Ed Balls. It's shameful he should be allowed to get away with comments like that.

Yours, Madam Mary Magdelen-Pygot-Smythe

Dear Sir,

May I complain in advance for the BBC allowing a person with Tourettes on live radio swearing like that. It's an absolute disgrace. Shame on you BBC.

Yours, Milly Maynard, Enfield

Dear Sir,

I would like to complain about Rickie Gervais's comments about Twinks on his Twitter feed last Thursday. Doesn't he realize the money he could lose by offending an entire twenty something demographic like that?

Yours, Harry Twonk, Battersea [link]

Dear Sir,

Imagine my horror when I came down with the seasonal vomiting and diarrhea bug. That's when having paper newspapers comes into its own. There is just no way to get enough towels down on the ground in time is there? No, these iPads look wonderful but their absorbency is nil.

Yours, Dick Dark, Marlybone Station

Dear Sir,

Thank heavens the Duke of Edinburgh has recovered from his pre Christmas heart scare. It is just nice to know that Jeremy Clarkson is standing by to pick up his mantle when he passes on.

Yours, Sir Shki Smith, Indian High Embassy

Dear Sir,

New Year, new me. I intend to start a new diet this year, does anyone have any ideas how I can lose about 3 stones without changing what I eat and doing any new exercise? Perhaps someone has got some miracle slimming pants they would like to sell me?

Dear Sir,

Jeremy Clarkson has been quiet this week, after last week's monumental expostulations. Thank heavens the BBC stopped him appearing on QI, Strictly Come Dancing, Frozen Planet, Antiques Roadshow, Songs Of Praise and CBeebies. Well done the BBC, another disaster averted.

Yours, Sir Michael Frobisheere

Dear Sir,

It's that time of the year again: May I join all my fellow punk readers of The Thun with a cordial chorus of the Pogues / Kirstie MacColl classic Christmas tune where we all sing "You scum bag you maggot you cheap lousy faggot" to those bastards in the European Union.

Dear Sir,

I am a great supporter of Jeremy Clarkson, the BBC's outspoken hunting correspondent. His programme Top Shot is one of my favourites.

Yours, Micke Merrymas

Dear Sir,

I was all set up on my BBC micro computer I bought in 1986 to do some Christmas shopping but to my chagrin I cannot find the Amazon programme thingummy they are all talking about. Has it closed down already? Such a shame if computer retailers are going the same way of the High Street.

Yours, Sir Jimmy Hailmary

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your excellent investigation into the denture scandal of 1956 in which unlicensed dentists pulled out unsuspecting peoples teeth and sold them off at a profit, and replaced them with ill fitting dentures. I will use my £250,000 settlement cheque to get my teeth corrected if only I can find a dentist who will do it for the money.

Dear Sir,

I see that George Osborne is watching The Killing season 1. What an excellent choice. The butler did it, George. Now, as for season two, now showing on the disgraceful BBC 4, my money is still on the sinister looking muscly gardener, Cuthbert.

Yours, Agatha Christie-Poodle

Dear Sir,

Drat this new fangled technology thang. Imagine my embarrassment when I accidentally got LOL and LMFAO mixed up the other day. My 6 year old daughter was shocked with my profanity and told me off. Such is my want.

Yours, Sir Jarvis Michaelangelo-Smith

Dear Sir,

I lament the state to which English Rugby has fallen over the last few months. Perhaps it is time to employ an Italian born manager who can't speak any English at all but looks like Marlon Brando in The Godfather?
