That's a pretty good set of gifs. Although I don't remember the last one. Is it when it's raining and Mycroft is in from of Speedy's?

Yes.

Guys, I'm getting excited about this. Ben is shooting Dr .Strange now, and from what he said (to the Queen, no less), he will go straight to Sherlock after that. I reckon Dr. Strange will shoot for a few months, isn't that how it usually is? So not long at all until we get some proper series Setlock!!!

I'm so excited as this is my first series Setlock, first time I am waiting for a series. And it's soon!

Yeah if I remember correctly it is March again like the last series or at least spring.

Setlock is so much fun!!! Even though I'd die to actually be there, it's still wonderful to get all the photos and reports.

OMG That's not too far away! *gets all excited and starts running around the room*

It'll be sometime in 2017, then, before Season 4 airs, won't it?

**Posted by SusiGo** November 25, 2015 6:41 pm

No, even earlier. They plan to shoot series 4 in spring of 2016, so we have to wait only a few months for Setlock.

You know, I think I'll be trying my luck and go this year.

I got last time...
I can only manage if the London shoot is April!

A warning to all British forum members: prepare yourselves for a terrible March and April weather-wise. It almost always becomes unnaturally freezing cold when Sherlock is being filmed, especially when they do so in the spring!

I may have mentioned this before: http://callie-ariane.tumblr.com/post/118864209007/

No: they filmed the first series in Winter, though yes, it was a particularly cold one.
Series 2 was filmed in good weather.
It was not that bad weather when I saw them filming last series.

Interesting quote by Steven:

Three again as usual?
Yes, three again and it’ll just be me and Mark [Gatiss] writing them this time. One each and one together.

So in series 1 and 2 Steve Thompson did one episode each, in series 3 only one third of one episode and the special and series will be exclusively Moftiss.

Here is the full interview:

Altho I think S Thompson is a good writer and I enjoy his episodes...
I'm actually quite happy it'll just be the main men this time...
Of course I can also hope it's because S Thompson is flooded with work!

EDIT: I also look forward to hearing announcements about directors.

What beautiful words.

"Yes, I’m writing Sherlock right now."

Was that Steven or Mark?
Steven is always the last with his episodes.

**Posted by Vhanja** November 27, 2015 9:36 pm

I'm happy as I in general find S. Thompson's episodes the weakest ones, plot-wise. (Although of course the roof scene of TRF is one of the greatest scenes in the series).

**Posted by besleybean** November 27, 2015 9:42 pm

I do quite like having a few different writers, but really Mark and Steven are more than capable of handing
the load together.
