Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
What's the basic plot of "Three Students" Susi?

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Oh, there's this one:
The Adventure of Black Peter.
I have never known my friend to be in better form, both mental and physical, than in the year '95.
Summary here, and also The Three Students summary here. I think I'd better do my homework!
Did any of the filming locations look Oxbridgey?

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
According to Leslie Klinger (who wrote/edited the New Annotated Sherlock Holmes), there are five stories set in 1895. 4 are generally agreed on by a majority of Holmes chroniclers:
The Three Students
The Solitary Cyclist
Black Peter
The Bruce-Partington Plans
And one on which there is no consensus:
Wisteria Lodge
The most interesting one to me in this context is the Bruce-Partington Plans, because that was part of the mix in TGG. Hmmmmmmm....
ETA: Wisteria Lodge could have something to do with the photos of that woman in bridal gown we saw from Setlock--and The Solitary Cyclist might have something to do with Amanda being seen in cycling clothes. Curiouser and curiouser.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
something crossed my mind and I just checked.
In "the adventure of the red circle", there's girl with whom two men are in love and her name is "Emilia Lucca".
I think the bride name in the special is Emila too, with an italian last name : Ricoletti

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
and Peter Ricoletti is a criminal who was Interpol's most wanted criminal from 1982 until 2010 that Sherlock helped to capture in the Reichenbach Fall....
Could victorian Emilia Ricoletti be his grand-mother?

Another confirmation by Mark that the special is set in 1895:

Peeking into "The Special" thread... 71 pages, sheesh! I'm up to page 10... So far no real spoilers but no "smut and cupcakes" either, tonnaree!
