I wish I knew how to rip it and reupload it to YouTube! Surely someone else will do it soon...


Oh, here it is, a non geo blocked upload on Vimeo:

Our fandom works quickly, luckily! Thank you

(I'm actually impressed they used the Heartbeat clip!) 

But a lovely interview! 

Whoa.
Thank you so much! I do love Mark. All the bits and snippets are very exciting.

I've transcribed Mark for a friend of mine but I'm still uncertain of the exact wording in "And a certain thing which came to fruition in this episode which we've been building for an awfully long time as a (up to??? what?) twenty-five year old spoiler, see what you can make of that." - EDIT: got it, thank you Liberty!

Here's the whole thing in case anybody's interested:

Good evening. I hope you enjoyed the Abominable Bride as much as I did or as much as we enjoyed making it.
 But now for series 4 of Sherlock we are returning to contemporary London where we all belong. And I have got four minutes apparently to tell you... absolutely nothing about the new series. What can I tell you in the next three minutes and thirty seconds? Well. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are back in the Baker Street as is Mrs Mary Watson, and there is a new arrival in form of a baby.
 Three minutes to go. So we have a new team in Baker Street, maybe we could have called it The Adventure of the Three Watsons, but we haven't. We've called it The Adventure of the Six Thatchers. There's a clue there if you know your Arthur Conan Doyle. You could go back to the original story and find out precisely as much or as little as you want to.
 Two minutes and thirty seconds to go. And a certain thing which came to fruition in this episode which we've been building for an awfully long time, hundred twenty-five year old spoiler - see what you can make of that.
 Two minutes to go. Well, Sherlock and John and Mary are tested as never before, they are put through an emotional wringer leading into episode two which is based on the Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Dying Detective, now called The Adventure of the Lying Detective - two minutes and fifteen seconds - starring the great Toby Jones as Culverton Smith, one of the scariest baddies we've ever had and probably one of the scariest baddies ever committed to the television screen.
 Episode 2 is an extraordinary emotional punch in the guts. I think it's quite unlike anything we've done before and I'm very very proud of it. Leading to the episode 3, which we don't have a title for yet - yes we do but we're not telling you 'cause it's something of a give away. It's a combination of everything we've been building up for for the past six years of Sherlock. All kinds of clues and red herrings - one minute to go - finally paid off in episode 3, which features lots of extraordinary things I can't tell you anything about, but possibly things will never be the same again. But in the next thirty seconds perhaps I can speculate on how they might alter. Sherlock will come to a shattering climax, like a great piece of music, I hope. Whether there will be another concert to enjoy - who knows. We all certainly'd like to. But perhaps if you come to the cinemas more often and watch it there might be a fifth series, who can say? Fifteen seconds to go, I'm enjoying this. Well, I hope you have a lovely time. I think series 4 of Sherlock is the best one we've done. I'm very proud of it. I think everybody is on top of their form and I think it's going to be quite something. God bless.

And I personally prefer to interpret the "Sherlock will come to a shattering climax" bit not in the sense of literary composition but in the sense of biology and johnlock *ducks and runs*

I thought he said "a hundred and twenty-five year old spoiler".  Thanks for the transcript!  Will catch up when I get back!

You know what happened 125 years ago? The original Reichenbach fall. So I think we are indeed going back very far, to TRF. The spoiler being that Holmes never fell down the waterfall.

But is it something they've been building up to for six years of Sherlock?
I think it's more about Watson's "there's always two of us" - I just hope they move it from Sherlock's MP to reality

I think it will be about Sherlock and John becoming a couple, Sherlock's past, Sherlock's mind, and all other stuff we have been getting so far. And I am not sure that Moriarty will matter very much which would be fine with me. He was a great villain but not the only one and I am really excited for someone new. 

We know that he will appear again but since they have filmed it publicly, I think it will not be a big surprise. More of a flashback maybe or Sherlock's memory or something like that.
