ACTUAL NEWS!!!  From Mark Gatiss, speaking about the newly discovered lost episodes of Doctor Who:

“The first episode of Sherlock [series three] is explicitly about the London Underground for exactly that reason, because I love ‘The Web Of Fear’. I’m obsessed with the Tube, and I think it all comes from that story, when I was a kid.”

This matches very well with a casting spoiler about a character who loves the trains...so now we have some idea of what to look for in that episode.
 

Ooooh! Sounds interesting!  And which casting spoiler? 
 

"HOWARD (Male, 25 - 45)

Anything between late 20s - late 40’s

Howard works for London Underground and he LOVES his job, its all about the trains, he is a self confessed train geek, what he doesn’t know about the underground system just isn’t worth mentioning. He lives, loves eats sleeps and breathes the tube, this is his life, he is a warm, open and very affable chap.

Could be overweight? but not essential

Very Nice Guest Role: 5 great Scenes / 66 lines"

As I've been a bit out of touch lately, I have a question for the Setlockers, or anyone else in the know. Do we know if Amanda (playing Mary) took part in Episode 3 filming? I think she did - at least I remember she was at North Gower - but I can't remember for sure if she was in character. I'm just wondering how long she actually lasts within the series. Does she make it through all three before she's killed off? Will her fate be part of the cliffhanger we'll have to endure?

She's definitely in episode 3, and looks to be a big part of it, actually.  Whether or not she dies, we don't know.

Well, it certainly inspires a lot of people throughout the fandom. I love it! (eh, not the moustache, but what arises from it! )

You frightened me for an istant Solar: I thought that the moustache got you too

The Underground! Yes, that sounds interesting.

Schmiezi, you've got a very good point there. At this point, they could all just sit in 221B for 90 minutes and read out the phone book. And okay, maybe they could at one point explain in two to three sentences how Sherlock survived. 

No, not Berlin.

I don't think they meet at the Daffodil, myself.  I think something else happens there, John gets kicked out and Sherlock doesn't reveal himself until the kebab shop.  I don't think John will be fully conscious in the bonfire because he was drugged up, but maybe he's moaning or something and it gets the girl's attention.  He's actually UNDERNEATH the wood, because Sherlock has to dig him out of the fire.  Plus people would probably notice a real man burning to death on top of a bonfire ;)

Well, no they won't come face to face at the Daffodil, I know. If John intends to propose to Mary, I don't think he will get this far in the restaurant, as they get kicked out there before they even eat. So maybe at the Kebab shop, we will see

As for the bonfire, there is a casting description out there on the internet where they were looking for a father (age 35 to 50), who isn't very patient with his daughter when she tries to tell him, that the effigy on the bonfire is alive and telling her that he wants to get off the fire and asks her to help him, and let's face it, this would be quite a perfectly dramatic moment. So, this sounds to me very much like he maybe is conscious (albeit still under the influence of the drugs he had been given when he was abducted) for a short while before the fire is actually lit. It also corresponds with the shocked and screaming girl we got to see in the last trailer the BBC released.

I've read the casting description, but the description from the people who were there at the bonfire (as well as pictures and video) clearly show Sherlock digging someout from underneath the fire, not on top.  People would have been able to tell the difference between an effigy and an unconscious man on top of the fire before they lit it- but if you bury him under the fire, no one knows.  The little probably tells her dad that she sees a man in the fire, but he makes the mistake of thinking she's talking about the effigy instead of John.  That's my guess as to the situation.

So the "I'll burn the heart out of you" was a series 3 hint? I just catched up on that bonfire thing and well if John is IN that fire... then maybe Moriarty meant it like... literally, not just metaphorically? The thought had occured, but without Moriarty in series 3, I thought it was impossible. But if he had ordered someone to do it... is there any context to the bonfire thing yet? (sry, as I said just now catching up, I haven't read the whole thread so far...)
I liked the metaphor, burning a heart out of somebody, and well, Sherlock always seemed to care not -only- about John, but... the cookie man, "burned to a crisp", felt not quite right to me... it seemed like a clear hint a person would burn, not a heart... it wasn't explained, like the girl's scream... like there was still context missing - is that it then? the bigger picture of that line?

And, really, I am so excited about the tube hints. That would be fascinating, Sherlock and the Tube, two things I'm obsessed with... ahhh. I. cannot. wait. any. longer. I would beg, if begging would help.   ;)

haha Mycroft is Merlin, yesssss :D

It's amazing how many hints you've found! While I do think there might be coincidences, it's really fun! I wish I had my Grimm Fairy Tales here for re-reading... as child I had a lovely book of them with beautiful pictures... loved it.

Well, but there wasn't much actual fire in the series so far... it was mostly blowing things up. I'm really excited about that bonfire thing now.
