Here's something I don't get. Andrew Scott was spotted at the set at Bart's, on the rooftop with Benedict. There's a little video somewhere of them between takes, he looks apprehensive at the height. So if Moriarty is definitely dead and this is flashback stuff to explain how Sherlock survived, then why was he there? Couldn't they just use archive footage, or is there new stuff to explain what happened?

Also, there's a video on youtube of him and Mark Gatiss (as Mycroft) exiting the archway at the hospital and shaking hands before going their separate ways. Is this also flashback stuff? 

I think so too. Sue Vertue said that at the end of series two they knew how to resolve the fall mystery, as it had to be planned out, but didn't have the money to shoot it back then. I firmly believe (and hope) that Moriarty is dead. As much as I love him and now Andrew Scott as the actor behind Moriarty, it really would have been such a waste of a scene if they had both faked their suicides at each other..

Yes, all flashback.

 
Flashback - and maybe a bit fan-teasing on set. The handshake. I could imagine.

I can't imagine that the scene with Moriarty wearing Sherlock's coat shaking hands with Mycroft is real.

Of course she is, which is why we all love her.

Exactly! 
 

Molly is a BAMF. It's subtle but definately there x

This stuff about the bonfire...when I first heard about it I thought it would be Moriarty, but he's confirmed dead so now I don't know...

Mark Gatiss' tweet this morning:

"Early start to do ADR in Splott with my little brother."

It's so cute that he calls Ben little brother all the time.

Splott is a district in the south of the city of Cardiff.
And you know what?

The name is from Old English splott "speck, blot, patch (of land)," which is also the source of place names in the Vale of Glamorgan, Gower, and Pembrokeshire. Fanciful suggestions for the origin of the name have included a truncation of "God's Plot", as the land belonged to the Bishop of Llandaff in medieval times, and a derivation of plat, meaning a grassy area of land.
