Since the writers have complete control, it would be realistic for them to opt to do just about anything.

I meant realistic in the sense that it would fit with what we already know -- but you're right, that's not exactly the way they do things!

I wouldn't honestly care how they dealt with the lack of Mrs H...

even if we just got that one last show, to honour Una.

They could do a kind of final ‘Sherlock’ in the form of His Last Bow. In the Holmes story he’s retired of course and being looked after by a Martha. So maybe a one-off? Sherlock is far too young to retire of course but he could have left London, abandoning detective work, to take up some kind of research or secret work for the government (or Mycroft as it’s known.) One final adventure with John? I don’t know but I’m certainly starting to feel it less and less likely that they’ll do another series. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

So was Holmes, wasn't he?  Though BC (in his late 40's) is still somewhat younger than SH was in "Last Bow," I think.

Well what we think we know.

Maybe Mrs Hudson has also a secret sister? Or daughter, who would inherit the place and become Mrs Hudson 2.0?

We're led to believe it's a secret sister, but it's actually a secret brother. In episode 3 it's revealed he's been cross-dressing the whole time.

Why do I suspect that you're not taking this seriously?
