Stuff like this makes me wanna cry

Well, no they won't come face to face at the Daffodil, I know. If John intends to propose to Mary, I don't think he will get this far in the restaurant, as they get kicked out there before they even eat. So maybe at the Kebab shop, we will see

As for the bonfire, there is a casting description out there on the internet where they were looking for a father (age 35 to 50), who isn't very patient with his daughter when she tries to tell him, that the effigy on the bonfire is alive and telling her that he wants to get off the fire and asks her to help him, and let's face it, this would be quite a perfectly dramatic moment. So, this sounds to me very much like he maybe is conscious (albeit still under the influence of the drugs he had been given when he was abducted) for a short while before the fire is actually lit. It also corresponds with the shocked and screaming girl we got to see in the last trailer the BBC released.

I've read the casting description, but the description from the people who were there at the bonfire (as well as pictures and video) clearly show Sherlock digging someout from underneath the fire, not on top.  People would have been able to tell the difference between an effigy and an unconscious man on top of the fire before they lit it- but if you bury him under the fire, no one knows.  The little probably tells her dad that she sees a man in the fire, but he makes the mistake of thinking she's talking about the effigy instead of John.  That's my guess as to the situation.

Yes, you are right they are digging him out from under the fire. If he had been supposed to remain unconscious it would have been easy to dress him up  and mask him as the effigy I think, but as he is aware of his situation and talking, he can't be out for display that's true. So, he is under the fire and maybe the girl is standing close enough to hear him and thinks it is the effigy that's talking to her, when it really is the man "burried" in the fire. That would bring the two together and solve the mystery.

I am quite positive there will be several more trailers and teasers as we get closer to series 3.

Same here , I can just see myself when I watch this for the first time...*sitting on the edge of my seat, clinging to a pillow, lip trembling, tears threatening to overflow, and much squeaking* ...Damn I wish time machines existed! *pouts*
 

I am so with you on this! I don't think I will be crying though, most likely just yelling at the telly in a slightly mad fashion

I'll probably fit in some mad-woman yelling at the TV too! Maybe a bit of headbanging as well , what can I say? I'm very expressive!

I found this here on YT but I have no idea when they were broadcast. Nice idea about the anagrams.

Oh, those are great! The music is quite hypnotizing and wow... really mean teaser trailers, don't you think? Of course we know now where all of that footage comes from and what it all means, but at the time it was broadcast... Can't wait to see if the next trailer for S3 will be as mean and inscrutable (well, probably... ).

Heck I'd forgotten that trailer, yes, it was good.

This one for TRF wasn't bad, either, although they included footage from other episodes:

That is a good one! So are the others, very clever with the anagrams. 
 

So, has anyone else seen these pictures?  I don't know where they come from, so I'm being on the safe side and putting them here for now.  In any case, they are pretty awesome pics:

The one with Martin could be from S1. I think neither of those pictures is from S3, but lovely shots they are indeed!

I think the Benedict one is elsewhere on the forum!

I'm glad you posted them.  I've never seen them and they are beautiful x
