I would cry my eyes out if anything happened to Molly

besleybean · July 3, 2014 5:59 pm

Me too and I think Sherlock would as well.

This Is The Phantom Lady · July 3, 2014 6:04 pm

I mean, I already want to slap Sherlock so hard in the scenes like the one in my sig...

Gosh, you've made me nervous now BB, I can feel Moffat would actually 'enjoy' letting that happen

besleybean · July 3, 2014 6:06 pm

Oh stop it!

Russell · July 3, 2014 7:09 pm

Leave for a day, and the entire thread explodes! Woww, you guys…..
But seriously, that's awesome. We were kind of figuring on all of those, but so awesome to actually know!

So exicted about the news! 1 special and 3 new episodes! More Sherlock! YAY!

Sherlock Holmes · July 4, 2014 8:36 am

I'm the opposite to you guys. I've seriously had enough of light hearted in Series 3. I'll take more dark anytime.

They usually try to have a balance of both and I think they largely achieve this.
Can't wait for the next round.

This. I'd hate too much of one or the other. Balance is important.

And ok, some of us seem to be thinking Mary is too obvious...
Are we still thinking Janine has some dark secrets?

Sherlock Holmes · July 5, 2014 9:12 pm

I would actually really like to see more of Janine. She was an interesting character and her exit was definitely left open so that she COULD return if they wanted her to. I liked the touch with the bees. I actually imagined her and Sherlock making a pretty good couple, with Sherlock just being exactly how he was and not having to hide anything from her, and Janine getting her sexual gratification from one night stands. Like an open relationship xDD But one where they keep bees.

Anyway, this is a complete tangent. Yeah, she could be a bad guy. There's that Janine Moriarty theory floating round, right? Because 1) she's Irish, 2) She has dark hair, 3) Janine/James are relativaley similar, 4) Canonically Moriarty has two brothers but why not make it into a sister for the modern adaptation and twist things on their head a bit, 5) she works for Magnussen, 6) she just seems like the type of person who could have some secret. Oh, and 7) why was she friends with Mary in the first place? Because Magnussen had ordered her to? Or some other reason?

Confirmed by Sue Vertue that the Special will be 90 minutes.

Oops. Ignore that, just seen it in another thread

This makes me deliriously with happiness.

I'd kind of assumed, but nice to have it made official!

SusiGo · July 10, 2014 6:11 pm

And it will be a Christmas special. Martin mentions it in this interview right at the end. And he talks a lot about his theatre work. (As an aside - I know he is known for his taste in clothing but this is just the ugliest outfit I have ever seen on him. )

Oh, so we know one thing which we will all get for Christmas next year

Here's a new interview with Amanda:

She confirms the date of shooting and she already knows what will happen to Mary!

tonnaree · July 10, 2014 7:39 pm

Considering how fast the first half of 2014 just flew past it will be Christmas 2015 before you know it.

SolarSystem · July 10, 2014 8:47 pm

But I somwhow doubt that we will get S4 early in 2016... I could imagine them leaving a broader gap between the Special and S4.

SusiGo · July 10, 2014 8:57 pm

Yes. But will they wait until early 2017? Or go for a summer airing?

besleybean · July 10, 2014 9:14 pm

Definitely 2016.
