A BBC Trust official has called for more episodes of 'Sherlock'.
Trustee David Liddiment believes the BBC would benefit greatly if it were to air more than three episodes of the hit detective drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC and is tasked with ensuring it provides value for money to licence fee payers.
He told RadioTimes.com: "It is hard for audiences to understand why there is something as good as 'Sherlock' and it is on for only three weeks, why can't we have more of it?"
Mr. Liddiment went on to suggest the "benefits to the BBC would be great" if the show were to "sit in the schedule for 12 weeks".
The former ITV director of programmes co-wrote the latest BBC Trust review, which has relayed viewers' wishes for more quality drama in line with critically acclaimed US shows such as 'Breaking Bad'.
Mr. Liddiment explained: "We have seen extraordinarily ambitious pieces of television come out of America and Scandinavia, in particular shows like 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad' which are on 12 hours a year. They are very, very ambitious and a modern audience, when it likes something, they want more of it.
"We are in a kind of demand society and it's not impossible is what I am saying. And when you get it absolutely spot on, it is a bolster to do more of that."
Ian 'H' Watkins has injured his hand while rehearsing for 'Tumble'.
The Steps singer received a nasty injury as he prepares to show off his gymnastic prowess in BBC One's new primetime show, where celebrities learn various disciplines such as tumbling and double trapeze.
Participants are still in the early stages of filming the show, but their training is already taking its toll.
Yesterday (16.07.14), H shared a photo of his blistered and bleeding hand, which he hurt whilst practising a difficult move on an aerial hoop.
Accompanying the graphic image, he wrote on Twitter: "Ripped my hands apart on a move called a Tombé on the Aeriel Hoop! I taped up & got back on tho! @BBCOne #Tumble (sic)"
Later Ian even joked: "I'm kind of starting to enjoy the pain !! x (sic)"
The singer isn't the only celebrity to hurt themselves during training.
Former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Lucy Mecklenburgh tweeted: "I have counted 16 bruises on my body!! Wow I need to get out more!!! Thanks #Tumble (sic)"
Luckily, the contestants are in safe hands as they practice under the guidance of the British Amateur Gymnastics Association, which has trained Olympic gymnasts Beth Tweddle and Louis Smith.
Louis will appear on 'Tumble' as a judge alongside Olympic gold medallist Nadia Comaneci, Commonwealth gold medallist Craig Heap and choreographer and aerial artist Sebastien Stella.
Beth has her own role on the show and will act as a mentor to the celebrities throughout the series.
Former Oasis manager Alan McGee has written his gravestone epitaph after being left petrified of death by several cancer scares.
The 53-year-old music mogul - the man who discovered Liam and Noel Gallagher's band - has had several growths removed from various parts of his body and in order to stay healthy he is living a completely teetotal life.
Speaking in the 20th anniversary relaunch issue of Loaded magazine - which is out now - former Creation Records boss McGee said: "I've had polyps removed from my arse, I've had a lump taken from my arm, I've had an exploded ulcer that had to get dealt with and I had Sarcoidosis when I was very young - 26.
"If I was going to write my epitaph it would be, 'He came, he lived, he partied, he departed.' I'm living every day like it's my last. That's like something Charlie Sheen would say. But you've got to enjoy your f***ing life. I have made mistakes in my life, but you can't regret or revisit mistakes. Life is too short."
McGee - who was 23 when he founded Creation in 1983 with a £1,000 bank loan - had a colon cancer scare in 2003 which he was eventually given the all-clear from but has had to have follow up treatment.
He said: "Back in 2003 my wife told me that because my mum died of bowel cancer I should go for a colonoscopy.
"I had no warning signs apart from family history. They zapped it with laser treatment and they had to cut out a polyp. If you are over 40, you are supposed to go every five years because if you don't cut them out they turn to cancer.
"Because it was so unpleasant it took me more than five years to go back. By this time we solved it. I got one taken out recently and I am clear."
McGee - who has a new label, 359 Music - now lives a peaceful life in Wales with his wife Kate, 42, and 13-year-old daughter Charlie and insists he loves being a "house dad" and doesn't miss the rock 'n' roll life.
Ricky Wilson had to be rescued by security after fans tried to rip his shirt off at MTV Crashes Plymouth.
The Kaiser Chiefs entertained fans at the gig on Tuesday (15.07.14) in Devon with their hits 'Ruby' and 'Everyday I Love You Less and Less', but things got out of control and bodyguards were forced to intervene.
However, that didn't appear to deter the 36-year-old musician, who later took several photographs of himself on a fan's phone, before posting them on Twitter.
He accompanied the snap - which he'd created as a four-picture montage - with the cheeky caption: "I stole this guys phone and took pictures... (sic)."
He then posted the picture again and noted that he particularly "loved" the photo of the cheering crowd.
Meanwhile, the hunk did manage to do some sightseeing before the gig - which also included performances from Example, The 1975 and Kiesza - as he was spotted paying a visit to the famous Smeaton's Tower at Eddystone Lighthouse yesterday.
Ricky tweeted a photo of himself at the top of the tower, which he'd accompanied with the caption: "Guess where I am... (Clue: it's terrifying)."
He then followed it up with another picture, but this time of the stunning tower and blue sky in the background, after receiving a number of replies from fans.
He tweeted: "That's right! Top of John Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse."

The 20-year-old singer's lawyer Mark Shapiro and prosecutor David Gilbert have requested another three weeks to work out a plea deal on charges he was drink-drivin...
Michelle Heaton is worried she will want more children after hysterectomy operation.
The former Liberty X singer - who carries a mutated BRCA2 gene which gives her a higher chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer -has admitted that despite knowing the hysterectomy is for the best, she still fears she will want another baby in the future.
Talking to Lorraine Kelly on 'Lorraine', the 34-year-old singer - who already has children Faith, four, and Aaron, two, with husband Hugh Hanley - shared: "It's a very tough decision to get rid of my chance of ever having other children and going through early menopause, it's not as easy as just saying 'I've got two children, let's get rid of it.' You don't know how you're going to feel in five years time."
She also revealed that she's struggled to decide whether to remove just her ovaries or her entire uterus.
Michelle explained: "It's not as straightforward as just choosing one or the other because there might be some complications of finding the ovaries because I've had two C-sections."
However, Michelle did add that she believes a full hysterectomy might be the best option for her, but explained that either way she will be on hormone replacement treatment for the rest of her life.
Although undergoing the operation is a huge decision to make, Michelle thinks it is best as she wants to "be there" for her children, and is bolstered by the support she has had from other women.
She said: "I want to be there for my kids, it's just really hard to elect to do that and I've had so many positive responses on Twitter and so many women going through exactly the same thing,
"Everyone who's been in touch, it's helping me through it and it's hard."
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are trying for a baby.
The 28-year-old model - who will celebrate her one-year anniversary with the 'All Of Me' hitmaker in September - has admitted the couple are ready to start a family.
She told Mario Lopez as she co-hosted 'Extra' at the Universal Studios in Los Angeles yesterday (16.07.14): "We both really want kids... we are not, not trying, I will tell you that.
"As we say it's a fun process... it's definitely going to be a surprise, and a surprise we'd be happy for."
The stunning brunette - who appears as a judge on MTV's new cooking show 'Snack-Off' - also admitted that while she enjoys making healthy home-cooked meals for herself and John, 36, she still finds time to enjoy her favourite fast-food treats.
She explained: "I've dubbed myself the soup master. I love making soup. Something about soup makes me so happy... I'm on this tomato basil soup kick, then this chicken soup is really pretty good.
"I cook three or four times a week, I made John homemade chicken soup late last night 'cause his voice is a little sore."
She added: "I love a good Hot Pocket and I love White Castle and I love Taco Bell."
However, the 'Sports Illustrated' cover girl is currently trying hard to control her cravings and get her "butt" in shape for an upcoming shoot.
She said: "I'm working out like crazy lately, I have a big shoot coming up, so for two weeks a year Chrissy settles down and she's in it right now.
"I'm trying to develop a butt."
Uma Thurman is auctioning a private screening of 'Pulp Fiction'.
