I'm open to a PM if you are unsure of your wording of something.
Clueing for looks.

But I'm definitely doing it !
Same struggle over here. :D
But it's too late, the mail is sent without anyone having a second look on it. I bet there are mistakes.
Can I PM you Yitzock? Always good to learn from mistakes. Or how to get a better written style ;)

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
How has it been in the past: when did they release the 'real' trailers for each episode?
Since we are nearly down to a month now...

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Very good question! I too was wondering about the same thing.
Or do they hold it in secret for some reason?

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?

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I'm not the right one to ask... I only became a fan by S3... as far as I remember the actual TAB trailer came early in November, didn't it?
But they do seem very secretive!

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I only became a fangirl when all 3 seasons had come out, myself, so I missed out on all of the previews, both teasers and official trailers.
So will there not be an official trailer for the entire season, then, only for each episode?

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Well, the S4 trailer we got seems to contain material from all three episodes.
This one had only material from TEH:
TSoT:
This is the HLV trailer:

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Oh my. It does look like a funeral and Mary isn't on the pictures...
Mrs Hudson's face is very telling. She stands between Sherlock and Lestrade, right?

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I do not believe it is a funeral. There is a lady dressed in pink in the background, not what anyone would wear for a funeral. And a baptismal font in front. But they love to play with our minds. So it is neither a traditional funeral (clothes) nor a happy christening (look at their faces). Hm ...
Also interesting the board behind Mycroft.

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
It does look like an unhappy Christening. If the baby was ill somehow it wouldn't be a happy one...
and you're right about the board... there might be quite a few clues there if you look closely!

Btw, Mrs Hudson is wearing the same jacket she wore at the wedding. Just with different blouse and accessories.

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Oh she is!
About the 'SH' on the board behind Mycroft... I was thinking Sherlock Holmes... but if it's an official document wouldn't that be Holmes, Sherlock? so, HS?

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
The case has been classified "D Notice" for 100 (years?) by the order of Lady Smallwood. Wonder what this means?
This is what I've found so far:
TL;DR: a D-Notice is a government notice issued to news editors requiring them not to publicise certain information for reasons of national security.

Look at this! The lady behind Mrs Hudson is wearing the same outfit she wore at the wedding:

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
SH could stand for Sherrinford. 1982 in the case no. could be the year. And E. Smallwood could be our Lady's relative.

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Lady Smallwood's first name is Elizabeth, so I'd say it is on her orders.

Then maybe it's just about Sherlock killing CAM.
