Series 3 is just around the corner, and the BBC has released an official image from the show.
The image features an apparently downcast John Watson (Martin Freeman) sat in a diner looking contemplatively at his mug of coffee, whilst Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch, we love you) stares at him from outside the window.
As poor Watson looks so miserable, it could be that he is still in mourning for his friend. Therefore this picture could show the moment that the supposedly dead consultant detective reappears to his friend, though it's more likely to be a red herring.
Heaven knows the writers of Sherlock enjoy messing with us!
The final episode of series 2 premiered on 15th January 2012, and series 3 is assumed to return in the UK in early January 2014, a full two YEARS after Sherlock supposedly killed himself by jumping off a building before appearing alive and well again, leading fans to grow increasingly more frustrated to know how on earth he did it. HOW DID HE DOOOO IT?
Other clues we have picked up that can be expected from season three are that the titles of the episodes are The Empty Hearse, The Sign of Three, and His Last Vow, and that Lars Mikkelsen will appear as the new villain Charles Augustus Magnussen.
We also know that in one episode Sherlock disguises himself as a homeless person (part of his homeless network perhaps? Hmm.)
We are still awaiting answers from The Reichenback Fall though, and we’d better get them. Soon.
