That image screams of Moffat/Gatiss trolling. Didn't they do the same thing with the deerstalker in series 2 only to use it as a throwaway gag?
I would love them to do a period piece, I just find it unlikely. But hey, official confirmation of more Sherlock is always good news.
I think they'll be going to a party and as is tradition with Sherlock it'll be a few minutes then onto a new location/time.

Yep, this makes sense.
Now film Series 4 as well, before Doctor Strange screws everything up.
I think I'm gonna have an erection right now
Isn't Doctor Strange still just a rumor?

Irrational fear on my part that he's gonna sign for Strange and they're gonna have to delay S4. See the bullshit IBT link I posted a little further up the page.
They start filming in January.

I'd ruddy love a direct adaption of a Holmes story with Benny and Marty.
We're probably being trolled by what they'll look like at some society fancy dress ball, but I'll continue to dream.

Alright cool, Spring would be nice for an air date.

Seems many of the main cast were on hand for the read-through of the special (save for Loo Brealey as she's currently in Australia, though Una Stubbs read her part). Amanda Abbington via twitter also confirmed that aside from herself, Rupert Graves was also there (as he has just come back from filming in Ireland).
So, we have the main cast, in addition to Mary, being a part of the special. Sweet.
Oh and here are Amanda's tweets, just in case:

On another note, I received my copy of the Sherlock: Chronicles book but had to send it back due to book damage. They're sending me a replacement (I sent back my original copy) but Asendia (the shipping service) sucks balls...

She also tweeted this:
Which could be significant, or not significant at all. Let the speculation run rampant!
Yep.
Obviously the director is also acting slightly trollish:
But he seemingly did confirm that he is only directing the special. Seemingly.
After years of following Mark Gatiss et al. I'm wary about taking anything for granted until I can confirm it myself.

If anything, both she and Mark troll twitter rather well I think. Loo and Lara have their fun on twitter as well while Rupert is actually a straight shooter for the most part on his own twitter.
Gatiss is the worst. The worst.
I'm honestly a bit surprised that the only thing we've gotten from his is mild wit with regards to the photoshop blunder.

He's a showrunner and a writer for the show, not like he'll really ever reveal much anyways.

Hmmm...I wonder if Andrew Scott's casting in SPECTRE, the new James Bond film (which is now a must-see for me) is tell on his involvement or lack thereof in Season 4.
Almost, there is this series 3 prequel on the BBC youtube channel. But other than that you're all set.

Finally, my book's arrived... It's a long story, but it boils down to the incompetence of Asendia as one of Amazon UK's shippers...
I tried to watch Sherlock sometime ago but it didn't really grab me at my first try. Now that I rewatched the full first season paying full attention to the whole plot I fell in love hard.
* "The Great Game" was really cruel, that's my only complaint about the series.

We've got Layton x Ace Attorney, and we're getting Ace Attorney x Sherlock. Almost!

Filming for the Christmas special starts on Tuesday.
We don't know when Series 4 proper starts filming, but between Benedict's run in Hamlet and Doctor Strange, I'd be very surprised if it were done before the end of the year.

I was convinced he scheduled Hamlet when he did so he could film series 4 either right before or right after the run.

Hamlet starts its run in July, and there'll be weeks and weeks of rehearsals beforehand. It'll be impossible to film the special and the series before then. With Dr Strange coming out November next year, he probably won't have the chance to have an uninterrupted filming schedule inbetween the two jobs.
The only hope is that the series films either side of his Hamlet commitments.

Christmas "Did You Miss Me Special?" 2015
Series 4 January 2017
That's my thinking anyways.

Perused tumblr and twitter for setlock pics today, strangely getting excited though it'll be a while before stuff is actually filming for S4 lol.

I'd be outright surprised if this wasn't the case.
I suspect if they really pushed they could have series 4 ready for next Summer, but the show has done so astonishingly well in January that they'll just stick it on the shelf.

This was one of the reasons why I didn't want BC to be Dr. Strange, as it delays Sherlock filming. But eh... it is what it is really.

As much as I love Sherlock... the world isn't right until Benedict Cumberbatch is a household name. Marvel will get him part of the way there. Given I now have little doubt they can take any of their properties and turn it into a hit. He'll be playing Strange for a long time methinks.

Well my other reasoning was that I had other people in mind for Strange (I'd have loved Alexander Siddig as Strange funny enough, as well as a few others) but I have no doubts that he'll be involved with Marvel for a while.

I remain convinced that the Victorian stuff is just a distraction, and we're going to get some answers to the Moriarty cliffhanger come Christmas.
I'm thinking it's rather the other way, sticking to the victorian stuff is a way to avoid dealing with the Moriarty stuff before a new proper season.

ding, ding, ding.
Though, IF this is a one-off non-canon thing, hopefully we get some Moriarty/Andrew Scott action since it doesn't have to adhere to what's currently going on in the series.

It shouldn't take a season though, especially if they're trolling and he's a fake as I expect.

Costumes look great so far for the special, love that they really are doing a Victorian-themed episode.
Thank you tumblr for aggregating all the setlock photos once again.

Just to put the final nail in the coffin for Series 4:
Benedict Cumberbatch on the Spirituality of Doctor Strange, the Beauty of Alan Turing and the Bile of Richard III

Filming has moved to Bath, starting in February. Seems they're going all out for this special, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Looking forward to the next bit of Setlock.
