    Another great picture! They both look so settled and happy to be back in their roles as Holmes and Watson. Really pleased that both of thier careers have taken off, it is well deserved!

    I don´t think both shows have too much in common really. Be prepared for the real thing @DaltonCraig007 :> .

    Yes, @DaltonCraig007, it is a hell of a show (seriously changed my life), and is everything a Holmes fan like I could wish for. Please come back and give us your thoughts once you have seen them.

    I quite agree, it's no 'UK version'. It's proper Sherlock Holmes. Elementary is where the full-on crazy happens.

    It also won't take you long to catch up on, maybe just two days. Watch it soon a get ready for Series 3, then endure with us, another two year wait over a fantastic cliffhanger.

    I adore BBC's Sherlock, @DaltonCraig007! Do check it out and be sure to watch it in order, from the beginning. Well worth the effort. One of my favorite tv series EVER, and I am a huge Holmes fan. Let us know your opinion after you watch them.

    I've recently rewatched the episodes in order to remind myself of everything that's gone on so far. Two years is such a long time, it's easy to forget!

    And the episodes are complex and layered. I love that no matter how many times I revisit the series I always find something new or am enlightened on something I never understood before. This is especially true for Belgravia. That's one of the greatest character studies on Holmes (and Irene too) that I have ever laid eyes on. That's the mark of a great show.

    And no spoilers here - you need to savor every nuance, cleverness, wit, and insights as you watch it, @DaltonCraig007. Enjoy!

    I just watched Belgravia again last week. So far, my very favorite.

    I thought I'd share with you the conversation that just took place over twitter between Amanda Abington (Martin Freeman's real life partner, playing an undisclosed but easy to guess character in season 3) and David Arnold (he's one of the composers for the series) following an ADR session for Sherlock. I have no idea what the heck they are talking about but it sounds intriguing:


    amanda abbington ‏@CHIMPSINSOCKS
    Finished my ADR. Little bit speechless... #Sherlock

    DavidGArnold ‏@DavidGArnold
    @CHIMPSINSOCKS im on your bit now....you know ...that bit

    amanda abbington ‏@CHIMPSINSOCKS
    @DavidGArnold oh god. That bit was ridiculous...

    DavidGArnold ‏@DavidGArnold
    @CHIMPSINSOCKS that bit was so sad/funny/exciting/unexpected/satisfying/worrying/hilarious/happy/joyous/miserable/unpredictable/predictable

    amanda abbington ‏@CHIMPSINSOCKS
    @DavidGArnold that's exactly how I felt. In that order...insane.

    DavidGArnold ‏@DavidGArnold
    @CHIMPSINSOCKS i would put it in a different order but i know what you mean.You just cant get enough speculation in life anymore can you

    amanda abbington ‏@CHIMPSINSOCKS
    @DavidGArnold I watched that other bit too. The bit near the end. But not the end. The bit near it...

    DavidGArnold ‏@DavidGArnold
    @CHIMPSINSOCKS its as good as the bit near the beginning....not the actual beginning...the bit near it. The bit in the middle's great also

    amanda abbington ‏@CHIMPSINSOCKS
    @DavidGArnold I LOVE the bit in the middle. It's easily as good as the bit right at the end. Oh god! The bit right at the end!

    Despite working there for several years, on and off, and despising the horrendous bureaucracy, Sherlock is reason enough for me to forgive the BBC's shortcomings. It's stellar British telly.

    Nice that they have their fun. Amazon just told me they still haven´t got a release date for the season3 dvd. *Sigh*

    If it's going to follow the pattern of the last series and come out just over a week after it ends I would guess Monday 27th January @boldfinger.

    So it´s airing in January in the UK?

    The December schedules are too full. We'll know next week what will be airing until the end of the year and depending on whether it's a four or six part series we will be able to suss if it'll be Sherlock after that or not. The 5th January is my bet for the first episode.
  • boldfingerboldfinger

    I can live with that :D . Anyhow, it ought ot be a sure bet it will start airing around New Year or January. That means little boldfinger will be able to see it by the end of January or throughout February. Perhaps I should take a week off then ;-).

    Moriarty may be no more but his replacement is “terrifying”, says Sherlock writer Steven Moffat.

    Lars Mikkelsen will play Benedict Cumberbatch's new adversary Charles Augustus Magnussen in series three of the BBC detective drama – a character based at least loosely on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “king of the blackmailers” Charles Augustus Milverton.

    In the original short story, Milverton makes his living by extorting money from his victims using the threat of scandalous revelations, and is described by Sherlock Holmes as more distasteful than any of the many murderers who have crossed his path during his career.

    And while Moffat would not reveal to what degree Mikkelsen’s character will echo Milverton, he did at least confirm of the Killing star, “Lars is terrifying.”

    “It’s almost finished, it’s almost out of the cutting room,” Moffat told RadioTimes last month, of the final episode of the new series. But he remained as tight-lipped as ever when it came to plot details...

    “We’ve drawn from that story [of Charles Augustus Milverton] but, as ever with our show, what we drew and how we do it and how we find equivalences, [you’ll have to wait and see].

    “Sometimes, as you know, we flip things and make them the other way round. We do all those things.

    "I’m not giving away what we’ve done with him but I think we’ve done something good," teased Moffat – before adding, in typically enigmatic style, “You’ll know the angle we’ve taken on it within seconds of it beginning…”

    Very interesting find @Samuel001, thanks a lot for sharing it. My curiosity about S3 increases by the day.

    At last! :D Is the return next month? Not long until we are able to work it out, now.

    EDIT: It looks like the 15th, 22nd and 29th December!

    More news here:

    “Sherlock and John Watson are back at last! And they're just where we want them – on the streets of London having mad, thrilling adventures," says co-creator Mark Gatiss.

    "It's been a long time since Sherlock Holmes jumped off that roof – it's time to reveal the truth about what happened between him and the pavement," adds Steven Moffat.

    http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-11-05/sherlock-series-3-first-official-image-of-benedict-cumberbatch-and-martin-freeman

    “The question on everyone's lips will finally be answered when Sherlock returns with three brand-new action-packed adventures,” says the BBC’s first official word on Sherlock for a long time…

    “How did he do it? And how will John take the news that his best friend faked his own death?” Both questions Sherlock fans have been asking themselves ever since the detective jumped from the roof of St Bart’s hospital in series two finale The Reichenbach Fall.

    “What will Sherlock think when he finds out John has fallen in love with Mary Morstan?” Now that’s one we’ve only just begun to consider.

    John’s new love interest Mary Morstan, played by his real-life partner Amanda Abbington, is described as “sensible, quick-witted and not at all taken in by Sherlock's posturing”, meaning she's sure to shake up the relationship between Sherlock and John – and perhaps give us a crime-solving trio, for series three...

    http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-11-05/sherlock-series-3-john-has-fallen-in-love

    With the schedules now confirmed for a few weeks ahead, Sunday 15th December is free, so you can bet without a doubt the episodes will on then and on the 22nd and 29th or maybe the three first January Sundays, one of those two.

    Sorry to double post but it has just been confirmed that the first episode will have a public world premiere at the British Film Institute the 15th of December, followed by a Q&A with cast and crew. There is no airing date yet, but with series two they did a similar advance preview of the first episode almost a month before it aired on TV.

    http://www.sherlockology.com/news/2013/11/5/sherlock-s3e1-bfi-premiere-51113

    EDIT: First synopsis
    Two years after the devastating events of 'The Reichenbach Fall', John appears to have got on with his life. New horizons and romance beckon. But, with London under threat of a devastating terrorist attack, Sherlock is about to take John at his word, staging his resurrection with all the theatricality that comes so naturally to him. If Sherlock thinks everything will be just as he left it, though, he's in for a very big surprise...
