Some information on T6T:

A statement said: “Sherlock waits to see where Moriarty will make his posthumous move. One mysterious case in particular baffles Scotland Yard – but Sherlock is more interested in a seemingly trivial detail. Why is someone destroying images of the late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher? Is there a madman on the loose? Or is there a much darker purpose at work? Something with its roots deep in Mary Watson’s past…”

Wow, that's more than anything we've got thus far on the new season!

The teasing glimpse of the plot has now been released by the BBC, along with a new image of the show which will raise more questions than it answers.

The photograph, starring Sherlock and Watson, sees water rising around their ankles and a series of strange items floating around them.

They include a music score entitled “Miss Me?”, a copy of Shakespeare’s Henry V, a teacup, a sequinned Persian-style shoe, a yellow face drawn on the mirror, and a violin.

A model RNLI lifeboat is also perched on the shelf, indicating something of a water theme.

Obviously the yellow face is reflected in the mirror. But a music score entitled “Miss Me?”, a copy of Shakespeare’s Henry V, and a model lifeboat? I can't see that much detail on my screen! Can anyone else verify these clues?

I found this which highlights all the details

I still can't see the lifeboat though.

Oh, now I can.

Oh yes, it's got to be Redbeard!  At first I thought the slipper was just where he keeps his tobacco/cigarettes, but it could also refer to Mary's travels and the filming abroad. The possible reference to The Musgrave Ritual is interesting! 

The Radio Times does tend to spoil episodes (I don't know about Sherlock, but I remember they've done a synopsis of each episode for Doctor Who), which I don't have a problem with (it's possible not to look!), but just warning if people want a complete suprise.  I agree that it's a lot of information, although some of it is just confirming what we expected, or was hinted at.  Interesting that they really are doing The Six Napoleons (as it had already been done in John's blog as The Six Thatchers - I do wonder if they'll refer to that previous similar case?).   Also good to know that it's going to reveal more of Mary's past!  I think we'd worked that out, but I'm glad to hear it!

Ahem. No mention of baby or family in this offical episode description. Wonder why. 

Agreed. Food for the media, making silly jokes about uncle Sherlock, sociopathic baby sitter. Nothing more. 

I know what you mean.

Uh, terribly gruesome pic. Almost too scary for my taste.
When I compare promotional pictures for TAB which were gothic but funny, this one is positively BLEAK. And bizarrely lifeless too...
Almost as if they wanted to scare off people instead of attracting more viewers...
