I'm open to a PM if you are unsure of your wording of something.

Same struggle over here. :D
But it's too late, the mail is sent without anyone having a second look on it. I bet there are mistakes.

Can I PM you Yitzock? Always good to learn from mistakes. Or how to get a better written style ;)

How has it been in the past: when did they release the 'real' trailers for each episode?
Since we are nearly down to a month now...

Very good question! I too was wondering about the same thing.
Or do they hold it in secret for some reason?

I'm not the right one to ask... I only became a fan by S3... as far as I remember the actual TAB trailer came early in November, didn't it?

But they do seem very secretive!

I only became a fangirl when all 3 seasons had come out, myself, so I missed out on all of the previews, both teasers and official trailers.

So will there not be an official trailer for the entire season, then, only for each episode?

Well, the S4 trailer we got seems to contain material from all three episodes.

This one had only material from TEH:

New official pictures:

Oh my. It does look like a funeral and Mary isn't on the pictures...
Mrs Hudson's face is very telling. She stands between Sherlock and Lestrade, right?

**Posted by SusiGo** November 24, 2016 9:52 am

I do not believe it is a funeral. There is a lady dressed in pink in the background, not what anyone would wear for a funeral. And a baptismal font in front. But they love to play with our minds. So it is neither a traditional funeral (clothes) nor a happy christening (look at their faces). Hm ...

Also interesting the board behind Mycroft.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 24, 2016 9:58 am

It does look like an unhappy Christening. If the baby was ill somehow it wouldn't be a happy one...

and you're right about the board... there might be quite a few clues there if you look closely!

Btw, Mrs Hudson is wearing the same jacket she wore at the wedding. Just with different blouse and accessories.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 24, 2016 10:34 am

Oh she is!

About the 'SH' on the board behind Mycroft... I was thinking Sherlock Holmes... but if it's an official document wouldn't that be Holmes, Sherlock? so, HS?

The case has been classified "D Notice" for 100 (years?) by the order of Lady Smallwood. Wonder what this means?

This is what I've found so far: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jul/31/d-notice-system-state-media-press-freedom

TL;DR: a D-Notice is a government notice issued to news editors requiring them not to publicise certain information for reasons of national security.

Good digging work!

**Posted by SusiGo** November 24, 2016 11:29 am

Look at this! The lady behind Mrs Hudson is wearing the same outfit she wore at the wedding:

SH could stand for Sherrinford. 1982 in the case no. could be the year. And E. Smallwood could be our Lady's relative.

**Posted by ukaunz** November 24, 2016 11:38 am

Lady Smallwood's first name is Elizabeth, so I'd say it is on her orders.

**Posted by ewige** November 24, 2016 11:44 am

Then maybe it's just about Sherlock killing CAM.

Or Moriarty's return
