Don't worry. They do that every time. There is alway speculation about Benedict and Martin getting too famous for the show. This is nothing new really. 

Well, I'd love to see the grand Mofftiss finale before I turn gray (or possibly die O.o) so I'd settle for 5 seasons.

With Moffat leaving Doctor Who he might have more time on his hands. But of course there are Benedict and Martin... so I agree, three years between each season, but maybe with a Special thrown in after two years?

He's not saying it's likely to be the last one, only that it's a possibility (which isn't news!).  He seems to be expecting to do S5 and would be surprised if it didn't go ahead. 

I think this quote is a little more interesting (although probably not a surprise either!):

There are stories that we are making use of in different ways. We’re using stories that people don’t know so much. Now we are getting into equally good, but far less well known, Conan Doyle stories.

So less well known stories.  They've done the very well-known ones, but I suppose it maybe rules out those boat scenes being a version of The Sign of the Four?  Or maybe they are still taking elements from the most famous stories, just not using them as the basis for whole episodes? 

Goodness me.  So much to elaborate on in that quote! 

Yes, it's lovely!  And very light in tone - makes me think of a Famous Five adventure or something like that.   I wonder if the first episode is going to be be lighter than the others?  Ep2 looks kind of dark from what we've seen, and I'm expecting Ep3 to be dark regardless of what we've seen!   Perhaps a lighter first episode would set us up for the trauma that will inevitably come.

I just found the quotes about series 4 and 5:

“Rather excitingly, Mark and I, for no particular reason, we just got out of the rain and sat at the top of the [Sherlock] production bus… and we just started plotting out what we could do in the future,” Moffat said during a screening of the series 3 finale titled “His Last Vow.”

“And we plotted out the whole of series four and five.”

I want as many series ad possible... of course as long as they keep their standards

DON'T PANIC!

This comes up every time!   They've all said that they want to keep making Sherlock as long as they can and S5 is already plotted out.

I know, I know...still that article had me freaking out. But you're right, there's nothing new under the sun.

And I would definitely wait 5 years for a series. Of course.

Thank you for being there
