Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Very nice detecting indeed! And I love that the Red-headed League might be included - such a fun story! And the alleged Princess Margaret pictures - I hadn't thought of them before in relation to ASIB!

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
About the grey- I swear I remember an interview somewhere where the hair lady (I forget her name, sorry! is it Claire maybe?) was saying she hid bits of grey in the new wig to show he's aging. I'm about 98% certain there's a quote somewhere but I have no idea where to find it.

A national danger... six compromising pictures of Margaret Thatcher stolen!

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I don't understand how he would need a wig, though. He unwillingly let his hair grow out until the point where he hid it under a hat at ComicCon because he thought it looked dreadful without it being "twisted and twirled" by the makeup-department, and then he immediately cut it short after Setlock was finished. Why would he have gone through all of that if he was just using a wig anyway?

Haha, they forget to wipe out his Dr. Strange grey locks?
Well he has still got his Dr. Strange eyebrows I suppose!

So it´s not just light, apparently....

Exactly. I do not think he wears a wig. Maybe in some scenes of ep. 1, if at all. As you said, no reason for him to grow his hair if they used a wig. And those for example look quite natural to me:

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
Especially in the last one his hair looks a lot better than the wig in TAB...

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I love it. The sound. The dark mood. This looks drastic and really huge. I'm really hoping that the actual episodes will live up to this.

Do you see Mycroft's umbrella right next to the fireplace? That is scary...!

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
No, I hadn't noticed it... very worrying.
The only comforting thing about this teaser is that John and Sherlock are together at Baker Street!

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
The shoe where he keeps his tobacco in TAB is also floating on the water along with his violin... and is that an eyeball in a cup?

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I'm pretty convinced that we won't see any of this on the show (or okay, if we do, it certainly won't be real).
The teaser perfectly sets the mood though.

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I have a feeling this "scene" won't be used in the show, not even as hallucination or mind palace.
I'm thinking it's either the team messing with us: it's just another teaser like the violin with the broken string, to give the upcoming series a sense of ominous foreboding, Or...
The water has some particular significance...

Re: Official BBC releases - Series 4 - The Game is On!
I'm pretty sure it's not real, it seems and feel like a mood teaser.... and a brilliant one at that!
