Hmmm… So, which course? These were my initial thoughts. Do I do a long distance course or do I stay close to home and come to the building. By opting for the SSMM (Search and Social Media Marketing) at Media City, I now know, I made the perfect choice.

After the bloody end to series two that saw Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) fall to his death, audiences have been waiting in anticipation for his return.
