I hope you are right, Susi.
Twitter is a confusing place and I certainly couldn't find any confirmation there!

SusiGo · March 7, 2013 8:06 am

According to Sherlockolgy Colm McCarthy and Jeremy Lovering have been confirmed as directors.

Davina · March 7, 2013 8:11 am

Two down and one to go then. I'm really pleased for Colm, he's done some great work.

This is a quote from Benedict regarding an event at CSF on 16 March (The Sinister Scientist). It seems they'll have started shooting by then:

"So, yeah, no, I was thrilled that they did that, and I’d love to visit, if only for that one event. But, sadly, I think I’ll be doing the real thing, as in playing Holmes, at the moment that people are doing that so I might miss it."

Oh so I seem to have had it confirmed for me that Paul McGuigan is not directing any of Season 3. Bad news if it's true. Tho I obviously wish the new guys all the best.

There have been two directors named, so maybe there'll be a 3rd for the 3rd episode.

As long as BC and MF and Lestrade's and Mrs. Hudson's and Mycroft's actors are there, along with the 221B set, I almost don't care who does what.

Martin said filming will start on 17. March (until early June). I wonder where the filming will start? London or Cardiff?

Davina · March 8, 2013 10:41 am

I would think that as they are putting the set up now that the filming may well be starting in Cardiff at the studios.

Mary Me · March 8, 2013 11:30 am

Yeah sounds good. 9 days to go.

I thought only two directors had been confirmed so far but I might be wrong. Would be a pity not to have him, his work was brilliant. But I suppose they're most careful in choosing adequate directors.

I absolutely agree with you: It DOES matter who is directing the whole thing, and PM made a brilliant job last time. Hopefully he is doing at least one of the three parts! And I have to confess that I don´t know the others - I hope they are doing a good job as well.

Sorry to disappoint you but Paul McGuigan has confirmed on Twitter that he will NOT be directing the next series of Sherlock. He is busy directing a film (Frankenstein) instead.

Now, that's a pity. But we still have Toby Haynes.

besleybean · March 9, 2013 8:23 am

So sad about Paul and I bet he's disappointed, too.
But we definitely have Toby? That is good news, he is a star.
The new guys have my full support, too.

Mary Me · March 9, 2013 8:49 am

At least I assume we have. Now that it's been confirmed that Colm McCarthy will direct one episode I'm very confident. Here: http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/24710/colm-mccarthy-to-direct-an-episode-of-sherlock-series-3

So Benedict won't have any break whatsoever after doing The Fifth Estate. Just hop over to the hair stylist's and off he goes.

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 9, 2013 10:28 am

and change parka for a coat poor guy, he is really busy.

SusiGo · March 9, 2013 10:37 am

I read somewhere that he dyed his hair to match the Assange wig. But I've seen no pic of it. He seems to be wearing a cap these days. May the dark curls return.

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 9, 2013 10:39 am

oh no :-) let them return as soon as possible

Mattlocked · March 9, 2013 10:52 am

Blond Sherlock as disguise... Who knows?

SusiGo · March 9, 2013 11:03 am

I like his PE hair as well, I'm not that choosy. But a blonde Sherlock, I don't know …
