Re: Secret message in the credits
Haha, this certainly is odd and also sort of cool. The only question here is why did they do this? Just to please themselves with the reference?

I guess so. Sort of an Easter Egg for the fans, perhaps.

Re: Secret message in the credits
It's one of the many reasons why I love people like Gatiss and Moffat.
(Needed a bit to grasp what you meant by "Easter Egg", sorry
)

Re: Secret message in the credits
Can someone tell me what the secret message is? That video was too low res for me to make out the letters when they were red on black

That is not unique to Sherlock. They do that for all Masterpiece Mystery! programs. I noticed in other programs, before Sherlock even premiered.

MASTERPIECE | PBS (Masterpiece Theatre) The red letters that you see during the MASTERPIECE Mystery! end credits are sly references to the program that immediately preceded it. It's all in good fun, and we just want to keep you on your toes!November 2, 2010 at 8:07am · 10
