BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Benedict Cumberbatch may not know how Sherlock returns

**Posted by Chiblits** July 9, 2013 7:14 am

Hello fellow Sherlockians!

Just a little interview with our lovely Una Stubbs who plays the part of Mrs. Hudson on Sherlock.

http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-07-08/una-stubbs-im-not-sure-benedict-cumberbatch-knows-how-sherlock-comes-back

"The actress who plays Mrs Hudson says the cast are kept in the dark about plot details. I’m not sure Benedict Cumberbatch knows how Sherlock comes back."

I know that the actors are banned from giving out any sort of spoilers or hints for Sherlock Series 3, but come on.....wouldn't the actors know how their character returns? They are making the episodes....

This makes me wonder, maybe they won't explain it until later int he series? Either way it just seems they are trying to make everyone seem oblivious to everything so that no one leaks any plot details ;)

Hm, if this is really the case we can assume that Sherlock is not going to explain to John in detail how he did it. Which makes me also wonder.
They're done filming, aren't they.

I really really hate to say this but we won't figure it out until series 3 has aired. God dammit.

But that's the fun of it. Would you really want to know everything in advance? Btw, nice to see you again, Mary.

Oh I definitely don't want to know anything in advance, but I wonder then.....maybe they won't explain Sherlock's plan (how he pulled of his X_X).

Maybe they won't explain it until Series 4. I do believe they are done filming. The last epsisode of series 3 was being filmed in early June. Maybe it won't be done until late July.

They still have filming to complete for Series 3. They have a break in filming at the moment.

Funny, just the other day I said to a friend "You know what, after years of theorizing and analyzing of how he survived the fall, it's probably gonna be like this when S3 is broadcast:
Sherlock: 'Look, John, let me explain how...'
John: 'I don't even want to know, I don't care how you did it! Never talk about it again!'
and it's business as usual from there

But, if Moftiss value their lives, they'd better give the fans an explanation (preferrably a stunning one...)

Also, I don't quite believe that is going to happen, but it surely is a scary thought^^

But as far as I understood... They have filmed the 1st 2 episodes...how can Benedict not know? He must have done that filming.

I simply think that Una Stubbs is just coquetting with her and especially BCs knowledge. So she avoids further questions ("I ´don´t know nothing, and others, too").
I can imagine that she actually doesn´t know everything. But definitely Cumberbatch and Freeman know....

Don't worry. This is just sarcasm and fooling around on Una's part. OF COURSE BENEDICT KNOWS - THEY'VE FILMED THE SOLUTION.

I'm surprised though about how little spoilers (real spoilers) there are out there on the internet. I mean usually a lot of info gets leaked from movies/tv shows/ etc, but this time around everyone is so hush hush about it....it's nice for a change, keeps me on my thinking toes

But yes, I figured that Benedict and Martin must know (everyone is part of it as well), but are just playing dumb. Yet, it could be true if they haven't finished filming the last episode that they don't know. Maybe we won't find out how Sherlock pulled everything off until the end of the series. Ahhhhh either way it's probably something so obviously clever. Darn.

Believe me, there is no shortage of spoilers.

Yes. But they don't spoil anything.

Confirm my worst fears, in some cases!

SHH.

Everybody else will be completely fine...I'm just weird!
