  Yes, please do tell, @Sandy. I don't feel like looking up quotes. :)
  This is being shown at Christmas right ... ? Hmmm.

  Well I don't. So if you can put the answer in a spoiler tag, @Sandy, that would be appreciated. :)

  Unless I'm very much mistaken, it is The Blue Carbuncle. Which reminds me that I have to finish my review (almost ready).

  Another great picture, but I still think it will be more like a themed party that they are both attending?

  Ah, and Benedict has just been nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Turing in The Imitation Game. Congratulations, Benedict! =D>

  Pictures taken today outside Gloucester cathedral, spoiler heavy, don't say I didn't warn you :D
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  To be noted that Amanda Abington complained about corsets yesterday on twitter, but said on an interview the special would be victorian but not in the way people think it is. However, she is one cheeky lady (in the best possible way) and might be playing us all for fools. It is true that although the attire suggests victorian era, her wardrobe has an unusual addition /:)

  
  EDIT:

  1. extras were wearing regular victorian female attire (aka long skirts, petticoats, the whole shebang
  2. earlier this week Freeman and Abbington were seen filming with the same clothes as in the last scene of the last episode, with a pregnant Mary. It was either for another episode or there will be set both nowadays and in victorian times.

  Who should mind spoilers ;-)? Thanks for posting, @Sandy!
  
  Nice pics! I like

  her boots :-)!

  But I don´t condone how

  they more and more use that bloody deerstalker. I haven´t found one single reference to it in Doyle´s works. Or was there one? Certainly not in a way that justifies the hype?

  
  
  
  By the way, just saw The Immitation Game. Benedict´s role is not very far from Sherlock, lots of dialogue that will make Sherlock fans laugh. At all, the film is very entertaining many times. Great cast, Britain has such fantastic talent, they even found a 14-year-old clone of Alec Guiness.

  I also like them @boldfinger! Wouldn't mind owning them myself. Regarding your second coment

  the deerstalker is not refered as such in the books but when Holmes travels out of town he is described to wear an ear-flapped traveling cap which is similar in shape to a deerstalker. Paget later picked this up for his illustrations and the rest is history. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable that Holmes is wearing this kind of head gear when out of the city, while in the city he would wear a more fashionable style of hat.

  Molly Hooper is not a character that exists in the canon so what does this mean? Nothing really. Will this be part of a dream sequence of one of the characters? Is is a one-off period piece? No way to tell by now.

  BBC Sherlock's special. Now it's official!: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/16/sherlock-special-victorian-?hootPostID=19b560b99fa76f18467cd43e3e6689f4

  While I wish the special was in some way connected to the three episodes, a Victorian set BBC Sherlock is too brilliant to turn down. I'm guessing that they're adapting Carbuncle then, as Moffat and Gatiss cite it as a big favorite of theirs, and because it's a one-off I could totally see them going for it. That picture of Benedict in the deerstalker and inverness cape has me beyond thrilled.
