Tonight's Sherlock

Tonight's Sherlock was brilliant, Mrs NotaSheep and I sat and watched the whole episode with scarcely a word spoken. Riveting entertainment indeed. Benedict Cumberbatch was excellent and the whole episode felt classy and intelligent.

However there was one error that did take the gloss off slightly. Sherlock Holmes deduces that the flight must be a 747 as it has a seat K on it, as no other plane does. This is wrong; I know for a fact that the Boeing 777 has a 3-4-3 configuration and as it misses the seat I, that means a seat K next to the window on the right side of the plane. The Airbus A340-600 as flown by Lufthansa has a 2-4-2 configuration but that far right seat is also a K.

Picky? Maybe but how can I believe in the infallibility of Sherlock Holmes when he makes such an elementary mistake?
