Today marks the long awaited start of principal photography on Sherlock Series Three.To mark the occasion, the title for the opening episode of the new series - the first to go before the cameras - has been announced this morning.
Sherlock S3E1: The Empty Hearse
Written by Mark Gatiss, Directed by Jeremy Lovering
The title was revealed on Twitter by Mark Gatiss. Sherlockology was alerted to the impending announcement of the title for the opening episode by Sue Vertue last night.
Filming on the new series began early this morning in Cardiff.
With the start of filming on the new series, Sherlockology has a couple of promises to repeat for our readers:
- We will never reveal ANY plot spoilers for the new series ahead of the broadcast of the new episodes unless they are officially sanctioned for release by the production team.
- We are not able to publicise any location filming that we may become aware of ahead of time due to issues of confidentiality, and the possibility of impacting the work of the cast and crew. Large numbers of people standing in a crowd have the potential to affect the filming, and we will be trying our best to ensure the crew has a minimum of disruption.
With that, all there is do now is watch, wait and continue to become excited! Good luck to the cast and crew.

Check out the Facebook page of The Royal Society of Chemistry. A 9-foot cut out of Cumberbatch! How much would you pay?http://www.rsc.org/AboutUs/News/Press...
Sherlock fans may want to check out Amy Thomas's blog, Girl Meets Sherlock. Her latest post is : "Sherlock Holmes and the Power of Introversion". girlmeetssherlock.wordpress.com
Just one more thing, I promise. (I'm just so excited about Season 3 filming, I can't help myself.)http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/...
And check out her two novels too....both very good.
I will. I see she's just released a Sherlock Holmes pastiche The Detective the Woman and the Winking Tree: A Novel Of Sherlock Holmes. Looks interesting.
Is this the same lady who wrote Good Night Mr. Holmes?
Tis very good......I interviwed her on my blog a few weeks back: www.storiesfromlymelight.blogspot.com
No, Ebony...that was Carole Nelson Douglas.
Steven Moffat on why Sherlock Holmes and the Doctor can never meet: "We can’t. We simply can’t,” he said while responding to an audience member’s question. “Their characters can’t meet because Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character in the Doctor’s universe. That’s one reason – you’ve seen Matt Smith dress up as Sherlock…he knows Sherlock’s a character. The other reason is I can’t make the Doctor real in Sherlock Holmes’ universe. Because then Sherlock Holmes would have the possibility of knowing time travel exists. He’d be saying, ‘Maybe a TARDIS was used [in this case].’ Seriously! ‘Has Sherlock seen the Daleks?’”
I had fun doing my own Holmes/Dr Who crossover story....was it real or was it a dream?
How did Sherlock fake his death? Alan Davies thinks he knows.http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-0...
With all due respect, that guy hadn't done his research before writing that article. For example, how does he explain the fact that Watson checks his pulse? Obviously the rubber ball trick comes to mind but it wasn't discussed at all in his explanation.
220> You're right, he didn't mention the pulse. The funny thing is, I just watched the episode to which he referred. I think they were able to keep anyone not in on the plot away from the body. Of course Watson,as a doctor would be expected to check for a pulse. Moffat says there's a clue everyone has missed. Do you think he's referring to the ball Sherlock is playing with in the lab? I couldn't agree more.
On a different note, I found this quote recently and love the way Moffat describes the Sherlock/Watson relationship:
“You take this cold, remarkable, difficult, dangerous, borderline psychopath man, and you wonder what might have happened to him had he not met his best friend, a friend that no one would have put him with – this solid, dependable, brave, big-hearted war hero. I think people fall in love, not with Sherlock Holmes or with Dr. Watson, but with their friendship. I think it is the most famous friendship in fiction, without a doubt.” - Steven Moffat
No, everybody uses the ball in their theories. He said it was something he did that was out of character....I agree! You never think of Holmes without Watson and you never think of Watson without Holmes! I love both of them so much :)
On a random tangent.... Last night I had a dream that I became friends with BC and got his autograph for my friend and it was cool because he was very nice but also shy and sweet. It was a nice dream with a plot AND a sub plot! OoooooooooOOOOOooooo ahhhhhHHHHHHH
Just wondering, does anyone here ship Johnlock? I just can't wrap my head around it. I'm all for gay rights and stuff, just can't picture the two of them together.
Ugh. No. That needs to NEVER EVER EVER HAPPEN. I hate it when people say horrible things like that! You can't change something so deep in a character WHEN THEY'RE NOT YOUR CHARACTER! Seriously!

I know!
I know!
I firmly believe Dr.Who is Sherlock Holmes cross-bred with science fiction, so I have decided that if anyone should play Dr.Who, it should be either Benedict Cumberbatch or Jonny Lee Miller, the modern Sherlocks. They would both be awesome. But I agree Holmes and the Doctor cannot meet, that's absurd, it's like two interpretations of the same character meeting. But they occupy different realities, too. In Sherlock's reality, the Doctor could not exist. But it made a good story, David! And a well-written one at that! :))
Not a fan of the Johnlock stuff. The relationship between Sherlock and John is fine as written (by Conan Doyle and Moffat/Gatiss). There's a reason why the Holmes stories still resonate with people and it has nothing to do with sex.
Totally agree. People relate to the idea of Holmes as the one who stands apart and observes and understands with a greater awareness than others.

Sherlock nominated for Televisual Bulldog Awards 201315 Mar 2013
Voting opens for the ninth year of the annual Televisual Bulldog Awards and we are delighted to announce that Sherlock has been nominated in the following awards categories – Drama Series and Music.
Competing against Sherlock in the Drama Series category will be Call The Midwife, Downton Abbey, The Hour, Last Tango in Halifax and Line of Duty. For the Music category, Sherlock will be competing with Downton Abbey,From the Sea to the Land Beyond, The Last Weekend, The Snowman and the Snowdog and We’ll Take Manhattan.
The Televisual Bulldog Awards celebrate the best of British TV and the winners are decided by an industry-wide vote which will be announced online from Friday 3rd May. The ceremony will be held at The Hospital Club in Convent Garden in May.
The speculation is that Amanda Abbington will be Watson's wife, but is it possible she could play Harry, his sister. After Sherlock "dies" John wouldn't be able to afford the flat on his own and maybe he'd have to go to his sister for help.Any thoughts?
That's a good idea, and the mystery where Watson meets is wife is a good one!
Of course, Sherlock could return to find John already married. In the original story, Holmes was absent for three years. That's a long time for Watson to be alone, and definitely long enough to grow a mustache!http://25.media.tumblr.com/81cbacfd83...
Noooooooo! I don't want him to have a mustache! But the worst part is I know I'll warm up to the idea and love the mustache by the end of the season
I wonder if they'll disguise him as old man with some rare books?
That would the best! Although I think they released that Watson wouldn't faint
I loved how in the Rathbone films Watson never recognises Holmes when he is in disguise yet Mrs. Hudson walks in and says "hello Mr Holmes" like it's totally obvious it's him at a mere glance! So funny!
But we can't have Martin Freeman looking that thick I guess! :)

Adrian> I assume you mean Sherlock not Watson. Moffat said that Sherlock wouldn't be disguising himself with false noses and such (as in the original stories) but rather would be hiding in plain sight. I can't help thinking that Sherlock will end up driving John all over London, in the guise of a cabbie. In the words of Jeff: "See no one ever thinks about the cabbie. It's like you're invisible. Just the back of an 'ead."
That way Sherlock could keep tabs on John, and later impress him by "deducing" what he's been up to.
Why would be mean Sherlock not Watson? That would awesome! It harkens back to their first case!
Yes That's right.
I do think it's a pity not to use Sherlock's disguise skills. But I guess it could look cheesy if done badly.
When I sat down to write a Sherlock Holmes novella of my own, I tried hard to incorporate as many of his traits as possible. I touched on the fainting and the dramatic entrance but the disguise thing was tricky. In the end I went for putting on a mask that a baddie had worn and impersonating the baddie, so it was a nod to the master of disguise idea without getting too into it.
Maybe that's Moffat's meaning, he alludes to it without doing it in the traditional manner.

I just figured out how to post images. One of my new favorite photos of Benedict.image:
I thought this was cute:From 'The Great Game' Commentary
Mark Gatiss: (On the idea of Carl Powers' shoes) Then the thing about a name tag: I remember there was a kid at school we used to take the mickey out of because he had it for far too long. He had it on his towels... he was too old for it.
Benedict Cumberbatch: Can I make a confession? I still have some socks and towels from school that have my name on them. It's embarassing. I actually once did an interview with somebody who said "your nametag's sticking out". This is when I was twenty-six. I had a shirt that had my name on it; it was a white school shirt that I still owned. Oh, my pathetic life.
Mark Gatiss: Why do you still have pants and socks from school? I'm saying pants and socks..
Benedict Cumberbatch: (singsong) Not pants! I didn't say pants... socks!
Mark Gatiss: I'm imagining it, though.
Martin Freeman: Yeah, we're all imagining it.
Martin Freeman (on Benedict): He’s sweet and generous in an almost childlike way. He’s very easy to screw over. I could take advantage of him playing cards. Actually, I must take advantage of him playing cards. But as an actor, he’s one of the very few people I’ve worked with whose taste I don’t question. Even subconsciously I’m not going, ‘Well, I wouldn’t have done it like that.’ He commits.Benedict Cumberbatch(on Martin): He’s always doing kung fu on me. We’ll be standing around, and I won’t be paying any attention to him, and then he suddenly goes, ‘HYYYMMNNNN’ and his hand is right next to my windpipe.
What a great description of your fellow actor XD
Whoever made that has wayyy too much time on their hands and wayyy too much talent
Wish I had the patience to do something like that.
So I just watched all 3 seasons in Netflix (tanks to surgery). I totally get it now. Officially addicted. WOW! So I really need t know who he did that in the end. And what happens next???? Sheesh!
