I'm not sure why people care so much about Holmes, one way or the other. Apart from those close to him, obviously. He didn't hold public office, he didn't work for a cause. He happened to do a job which made him well-known. He seems neither more nor less good or interesting or valuable than most people.
People die all the time, usually before they've done all they wanted to do, and well before their friends and family are ready to let them go.
I've lost dear people who I grieve over, privately.
I didn't know Holmes, and I don't feel his life or death is anything to do with me, and his family's grief is none of my business. -
Things happening in Chch! Woot!! Thank you.

A fine analysis, Caleb, thanks for that. And Bart, too. I'm glad I'm not the only one uncomfortable about Holmes.

my mum and other people who don’t watch TV until midnight (which, as she reminded me yesterday, includes everyone in her retirement village)
I had a moment of wondering why your Mum and her friends wait until midnight before putting the TV on, Russell...
Hearty congratulations to you and all at Media3 on the new timeslot!

On looking closer I discovered this chap who I did not know then but I do know now. Weird eh?
It's just like that scene in Blow-Up!
And doesn't he look suave in that hat. :-)
