Re: What is the Special about? (Spoilers)
Resisting the temptation to look at those spoilers, here. I never thought the day'd come when I'd say that, but...I'll just not come here (on this thread, not the forum!!) until I've seen it.
Time needs to go faster. Way faster.

Okay, found the edgy brackets on my mobile at least. Let me try:
Sherlock loves his Jawn.

I am trying to resist opening those spoilers... but I hope I can wait... I'm curious as hell!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Red/green C.? My first association was green carnation but this is probably rubbish.

Re: What is the Special about? (Spoilers)
One canonical story is called "The Adventure of the Red Circle"... but I somehow doubt this is a reference to this.

Re: What is the Special about? (Spoilers)
I can't bring myself to look at that spoiler link, so thank you for continuing with the spoiler tags 
The Red C. and the Green C? Maybe a reference to the Blue C(arbuncle)?

10 day out and TAB is now showing up on my television guide. It gave me great pleasure to set my DVR!

Re: What is the Special about? (Spoilers)
I dreamt I saw TAB lats night. And I got to have lunch and meet up with Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue.
I think my subconscious is getting impatient.

Re: What is the Special about? (Spoilers)
I was kind of 'huh?' at your re-casting comment at first, until I got to the right bit and just burst out laughing. Thanks.
