Agreed... and I can think of "Billy bits" that I didn't love, but I
don't see what was wrong with Andy Crowe... I think the stuff with
Chrissy in "How to Make a Killing Pt1" was great, but the stuff in
"Money, Love and Birdseed" was a little weak. I get the impression that
Steven Moffat just ran out of things to do with him (with the exception
of the "cameos" - which I enjoyed).
