As long as their friendship comes out of the testing stronger than before, that's the important thing.  Because I would really hate to see their great friendship destroyed for whatever reason!
 

Which means that John will have to become less of a jerk, for that to happen!

I'm sure they will come out stronger friends; but most great friendships are forged through hardships... 


I saw on Tumblr that the Russian TV station have chosen to name TFP: "Family Business" and TLD 'The Dying Detective'. 

Apparently the russians often name the episodes themselves after the content rather than directly translating the title

(Like the Danes did with calling TRF 'Sherlock Holmes Death' )

Phantom, do you have the link to the tumbl post?
I can't confirm the titles browsing the TV schedule of the respective channel (it's only available till Jan, 1 at the moment).

Sherlock has started tweeting. Remember Joe Lidster saying that he would not continue the blog but had something new in store for 2017? Someone has set up Twitter accounts for Sherlock, John, and Culverton Smith so I think we can expect tweets instead of blog entries.

And ooh. I knew there was a reason I made a twitter account some time ago, despite not using Twitter. xD

Thank you. The girl seems Russian alright but she doesn't state her sources. We'll see.

Also, how do I know which Sherlock is "our" Sherlock? There are so many of them on Twitter! O.o
*feeling totally lost*

I got the impression it was done by a fan?

Possibly. But it is a fact that the above article mentions Sherlock being on Twitter all the time and Joe Lidster definitely announced something new connected with the show. Therefore a Twitter account for Sherlock seems quite plausible. 

Alright guys.
I've been looking into that "Family Business" title and I can't really confirm this information at all. While plausible (since the last word is Sherrinford), it hasn't been mentioned anywhere else in Russian media, message boards etc. The person who tweeted it referred to the TV channel's representative defending the different title, saying that the translators basically knew better what the last es was about. I haven't found any mention of such an interview anywhere.
We'll know for sure in a fortnight when the official translation will be published in the TV schedule.

EDIT:
this pic is the only sourse I found. It looks legit but it doesn't mean it's really from the TV station. It's weird that they didn't translate the show's title and the "season" while they are so quick about translating everything else. Still, no mentioning of any interviews with the channel's reps.
