Did you spot the tease for next weeks episode in the Sherlock series 4 opener?
Porlock (as well as being a village in Somerset whence came S.T.
Langdale Pike was a character inThe Adventure Of The Three Gables.
Perhaps thats a fittingly chilly name for never been very good with [humans] Mycroft?
2.It looks as though the opening credits have been updated for series four.
4.This is what John was typing in his 221Back blog entry:
And were back!
Sorry I havent updated the blog for such a long time but things really have been very busy.
Youll have seen on the news about how Sherlock recovered the Mona Lisa.
Im going to be a dad.
The baby runs all of our lives.
5.Theres a teensy error here, apparently.
InThe Six Thatchers, he makes the same complaint to baby Rosie Watson.
8.The advert on the side of Johns bus is for Strawb Fizz, sweets with explosive flavour.
Thats not a real product as far as know, so must have been custom-made, but why?
Could there be an explosion inSherlocks future?
And murdered in one of them?.
Its never twins, remember.
Could her jokey answer be a clue to Elizabeths back story?
14.There may be a long list of things Sherlock Holmes doesnt know about (former prime ministers?
InThe Six Thatchers, Sherlock quotes by the pricking of my thumbs fromMacbeth.
Not sure if thats relevant, but just being thorough.
16.The continued references to the Black Pearl of the Borgias are a connection toThe Adventure Of The Six Napoleons.
Said pearl was the treasure hidden inside one of six plaster busts of Napoleon in the original story.
Thatcher bust distributors Gelder and Co. were also the distributors of the Napoleon busts in the original story.
Barnicot, Harker and Sandeford, bust owners, are also repeated between the two.
That was an immobile dog!
It just sat there like an ornament!
19.Toby lives with Craig the hacker.
21.According tothis website, theres a real-life hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia called The Sherlock.
22.Mary-in-disguises fellow plane passenger was played by James Holmes.
23.A close-up of one of Marys fake IDs reveals one of her aliases to be Gabrielle Ashdown.
So we had to find another way around doing that.
First introduced by Holmes scholar William S. Baring-Gould, Sherrinford is a hypothetical older brother to Mycroft and Sherlock.
Im not given to outbursts of brotherly compassion.
You know what happened to the other one hinted Mycroft inHis Last Vow.
So we can expect to have the Sherrinford mystery solved byThe Final Problem?
Let us know what else there is to add below!
(Particularly if you have filming locations details.
Sherlock series four continues with The Lying Detective on Sunday the 8th of January at 9pm on BBC One.
