What if "Sherrinford" is the name of Holmes family residence - the way "Skyfall" was the name of Bond family residence in the movie Skyfall?

I'm thinking of the island. :D

Yes, family names can be estate names too.  I've been wondering about that too (and also whether it's the island castle!).   Whatever it is, it's active and people are there, "put me through to Sherrinford".

I'm going to bite the bullet and post my TLD predictions, now there are only hours to go! 

I have had a feeling that TST is Sherlock/Mary, TLD is Sherlock/John and TFP is Sherlock/Mycroft, and I'm sticking to that for now, despite us recently being told that Culverton is targeting Mycroft.  Most of these are because of clues from setlock/interviews/photos (actually I have forgotten a lot of setlock!  I should review it before the episode.  Or maybe wait for it to be a surprise).

TST really happened.  Rosie is John and Mary's, Mary really died, etc.
TLD will feature bus stop woman as Culverton's daughter (as she seems to be the same actress), but must be in disguise. John has been targeted by her/Culverton for some reasons - this is not an accident.
Culverton is a Jimmy Saville type of character - much-loved, avuncular, public figure, with a similar dark secret.
Culverton will play mind games with Sherlock.
TLD will focus on John and Sherlock's relationship.  But no Johnlock!
Culverton is a businessman on a Dragon's Den/Britain's Got Talent TV show, called Business Killer.  
Mind palace/drug scenes agogo
Toby Jones will be brilliant!
Possibly, those missing five minutes are going to be about them doing something clever with TV (something they will show us after the episode appears to be finished).  I'm still going with something along these lines for the "making TV history" thing.

Mycroft - I think his focus will be in TFP, but I think he deliberately mislead Sherlock with the Black Pearl, and we're building up to him as antagonist.  Possibly he is the one playing a very long game.  But that's probably for my TFP predictions, if I'm still thinking along those lines after TLD!

 

Well, I was wrong about Culverton's TV show, and about those five minutes at the end (although I'm still holding out hope for TFP!).  Right about the disguise, but I thought Lady in Red really was Culverton's daughter. 
 

She was disguised as his daughter, so you were half right!

Oh, I've just realised that Culverton didn't target Mycroft at all!  So I'm glad I stuck to my original guess! 
 

Yeah, wasn't it said in one of the previews that Mycroft was going to be involved with the case, odd way of putting it as he wasn't directly connected, he was just watching over (sometimes literally haha) Sherlock. I'm glad he wasn't targeted.
 

But not in that episode, that we know of, so either the preview had advance information, or they got it wrong. 

I don't think Culverton is going to feature in TFP (although, as ever, I could be wrong!).

Yes, it seems they're done with him.  He's confessed to his crime (crimes?), so I don't think there's anything left for him to do (unless he escapes from prison and has something to do with Moriarty or something else that is coming up later).

That would make sense.

Based on the Kermit tweet and an old one of Arwel's (I think he said smth about a bathtub?) I predict that we are going to see a Holmes in a bathroom. Remember, Mark sort of promised a shower scene for Mycroft?
*taps foot impatiently*

I suspect you could be right.
