Oh  those are so great!!  I  love the looks on their faces.  Is that Meryl Streep  as their mummy?

I love the Christmas jumpers, they're just as ugly as John's in SiB. 

so--  what WERE the christmas dinners really like, then?  Both brothers one-upping each other?  "my horse is bigger than your horse"  etc?

In "The Great Game" when sherlock gets the envelope containing the pink mobile phone (sent to him by Moriarty) he talks about female handwriting. He says something like, "she has used this ink"..Who was "She" here? Which woman helped Moriarty to write on that envelope? Or was Sherlock wrong, and it was Moriarty's  handwriting only?

This is something that the writers don't make very clear, I think. I assumed it was Mrs Wenceslas, the owner of the art gallery, because Sherlock says something like "Bohemian stationary, an assassin from Prague and YOU, Mrs Wenceslas" and that all the case was very czech-related. But there's no confirmation of this, I believe.

Let's see if anyone else can enlighten us a bit

It's probably a bit far-fetched, but for some reason I always thought Irene Adler was the person who wrote on the envelope.

The first victim sounds about right. And he got her to do it in Bohemian stationary ect just to throw Sherlock off thebscent slightly, because obviously the envelope and handwriting was completely irrelevant to the case in the end.

Thanks everyone for replying to my query.
Yeah, I too now think that it was the first female victim who wrote on that envelope or it could be any other girl who Moriarty coaxed to.... I don't think Moriarty would engage Irene Adler for such an unimportant task...He can make anyone a hostage anytime he wants .. why would he need Irene's services for that..
That museum gallery woman also (I suppose, honestly) confessed to the police that she had never personally met Moriarty and that she was connected only with the painting crime and had got nothing to do with all other things that Moriarty was upto in that episode...

@All
I have another query. Last night I learnt that Benedict's ex-girlfriend featured in the 'Blind Banker' episode of first series, as the secretary of Van Coon. Was wondering who did that "hair pin" eventually go to? Why was she jumping with joy.. Would she retain that hair pin? Won't it eventually belong to the Chinese government as it was a smuggled item?

I've always imagined there to be a lot of walking into walls, muttering ' The Woman' and general drunk-like behaviour.

Who does Sherlock's and John's washing and ironing? For that matter who did Jim Moriarty's? Eek! You wouldn't want to be accidentally making his white shirts go mushy grey or pink would you! He might have you shot...or made into shoes.

Uh oh, I had thought of a similar question - what a coincidence.

How does Sherlock get his clothes?
Imho he's way too elegant for someone who doesn't care.

Thinking of Irene, will he just text his own measures to a store for a package of 12 of each?
Or maybe there is a tailor who still owes him a favor?
