Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I hope so. Or we get a special without the boys. Just joking. Although there is the thing with the hair - Benedict's short, Martin's dyed …

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
It's all a bit of a mystery at the moment...
Still, I'm looking forward to it.
People on Twitter have mentioned Setlock, but I don't know if anybody's going or if we'll get any notification of public filming...presuming there will be some.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I am a bit uninformed... Is there any reliable source saying that shooting will start soon?

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Yep, we know the date, but don't know if it's location or studio.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Didn't they say at some point that they won't be shooting too much on public locations because it'd always attract too many people?

They're clever people. They probably found a way to deal with the setlock situation.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
They've been incredibly nice to the fans but I can imagine that having a spontaneous audience of over 500 people might interfere with the shooting.

Having been there and part of it...
They manage it very well and the crew are so nice to the fans.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
Have you been there? I envie you. 
I'm a bit torn about setlock: on the one hand I would love to see them film and meet some of the fans, on the other hand I think it's not very nice for the people who are trying to make a tv series.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
I had for years seen other people talk about it and never thought I would have the chance to go...
Then I got the chance and I was completely torn,.
It was for S3 and Sue had tweeted, basically asking people not to go.
But I knew loads of people were going.
Bearing in mind at that stage I had missed Benedict in theatre(twice) and never knew I would get the chane to see him again...
So I just thought: feck, I'm going.
I knew I would behave and I did.
I never approached the actors or even attenpted to speak to them in any way.

If I had the chance, I probably wouldn't be able to resist either.

Re: The special - the game is on (spoilers)
But how do people know when they will be shooting where? To show up?

But he hasn't appeared in any of her(many ) Twitter New Year pix...so that may explain why,.
Martin is away and she was baby sitting,
There's this one:
Can I just say, apart from that, people probably don't need to worry about hair? I've read a lot of comments (also on tumblr etc) that people are concerned that Ben lacks the Sherlock curls and Martin's hair is dyed at the moment. The wigs which are being used nowadays for film and TV are mindblowingly realistic, and so far, the hair and makeup on Sherlock has always been great (I think they even got awards for it). If they are going to appear in their usual, modern incarnations, they'll very likely look the same as always. I say if.
@Vhanja: As soon as anyone sees anything, it usually is all over twitter.
