And I thought it was just me.  Thanks!

Sorry, Carol, but that link doesn't work, try this one.

 

 

Sherlockology has posted their spoiler-free (unless you've been living in a cave) review of Episode 2, "The Sign of Three."  Far too many quotable bits to post here, so just read it!

 

 

 

Oops -- I see what I did.  Thanks, Earendil (and Pamela)!

Cool!

 

They obviously don't want any questions about the cliffhanger!

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I just checked out the link that shoot999 posted above, and the Q&A won't be televised (as I first thought), but rather online:
 

Join us on Sunday 12 January at bbc.co.uk/sherlock or follow @BBCOne on Twitter from 10pm!

 
If you'd like to submit a question, use shoot999's link.

Change to correct member name. (Sorry about that!)

[Karie]

Cool! 

 

I want to submit a question, but I can't think of anything good that they might actually answer. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

That is the quandary, isn't it!

Sherlockology has posted their spoiler-free review of "His Last Vow," ending with this intriguing note:

 

 

 

... this is an experience that should be Experienced, unsullied with prior knowledge or spoilers of what is coming. Though there is one thing we will say, to ensure your viewing of this barnstorming finale to the third series of Sherlock is complete.

 

When the end credits start, do not turn off your television or change the channel. Watch to the very close.

And that is the only Clue we will give you.

 

[Mandyilana]

Well that's intriguing.

Couple of Last Vow clips and pics added to the Sherlock interactive trailer.

[Karie]

Someone linked it in the HLV spoiler thread, but it just keeps taking me to that TEH interactive trailer we got before the season premier. What am I doing wrong?? 

[Caya]

You're not doing anything wrong, Karie, it is indeed the same trailer. When you click on those bullet points, you're still taken to the same bonus content, but there's simply more of it unlocked now.

I'm hesitant to follow this live, lest some of the answers give away what happens in "His Last Vow."      However, I assume that the Q&A will remain accessible online for the foreseeable future.  So -- once the "live" part is concluded, could someone who's followed all of it please come here and let us spoiler-shy folks know whether or not it's safe?  Thanks!

The BBC website has posted a spoiler-free interview with Lars Mikkelsen, who plays Charles Augustus Magnussen.

Hey there, Carol; I've been quietly lurking whilst waiting for season three

Radio Times has announced that Sherlock is the most watched BBC Drama in the UK since the current ratings measurement system started in 2001, with an average of nearly 12 million viewers per episode of series 3.  This should prolong the life of the show, hopefully for decades .
