Yes! And once it's over, there will be three new episodes like great big juicy bones from which to suck every bit of marrow here on the Forum. (And more scenes and phrases to put under the Johnlock microscope). 

Then, alas, we wait again.....

Soldiers on a beach:

Soldiers? They seem more like private security to me.

A recap containing some additional information:

The black outfits with hats and guns reminds me a little of Mary in Magnussen's office.  Former colleagues?  For some reason, I'd imagined her working alone. And the shirts and ties don't quite fit with that either, I don't think.

Do we have confirmation that Ben was filming yesterday?

Interesting though! Is the helicopter part of the scene or used for filming? 

Oh, that's difficult to see!  I saw an M first, but now you've mentioned an R, that's all I can see.  I think you're right.  The bottom looked like a V or W, but it's somehow not as clear as the R, so I think you are also right that it's not a letter.  I can't see what it is (can't even see a handshake now you've mentioned it!).  Maybe it's the beach theme to these shots, but all I can see a the moment is a little sandcastle (pile of sand) with two flags sticking out of it. 

This article in the local paper has a couple more pictures: http://www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/news/14583098.Crowds_gather_in_Tenby_to_catch_glimpse_of_Sherlock_stars_as_filming_on_new_BBC_series_begins/

I don't know why, but I'm kind of excited about a tidal island!  Wonderful for a suspense story or an evil mastermind's hideout.   Although if none of the cast have been spotted, it's maybe not playing as big a part as I'd hoped.   A flashback, perhaps?  Mind palace? (the answer to everything odd now!) Or the scenes at the fort filmed indoors?

I can too now that you mention it!  And I see the bottom bit as two things crossed, although what things, I can't tell you!
