Sherlock Season 3: We try to answer 10 questions about
the hit BBC show

Following the trailer for Sherlock Season 3, we try to
answer 10 questions we have about the show – from how Sherlock survived to how
Watson will react...
After the latest trailer for Sherlock Season 3 was shown on
BBC at the weekend anticipation is building for the next installment. So, we
have decided to try and collate what we know about the new season and what we
think might happen.
We know Sherlock will survive the fall, otherwise there
could not be a season 3 – finally we get
to find out how. Plus we have two new characters that will feature in Sherlock
season 3 – Mary Motsan and Charles Augustus Magnussen.
After the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode a trailer was
shown for Sherlock Series 3 that showed John Watson seemingly seeing Sherlock
Holmes for the first time and then fans of the famous sleuth receiving tweets
that he was alive, with the signature theme music and messages appearing on
screen, such as #sherlocklives, #SherlockIsNotDead and #SherlockHolmesAlive.
So, as we wait, somewhat impatiently, here is what we know,
and think we know, about Sherlock season 3...
1. How did he survive the fall?
There has been plenty of speculation as to how Sherlock
tricked everyone, including his best friend John Watson, into believing he was
dead. Now at last we will get to find out.
Benedict Cumberbatch did tease in an online interview on
Reddit: "Haven't you seen winged suits on YouTube?? I told you I was into
skydiving. How many more clues do you need people?". Meanwhile, other
online speculation has ranged from Watson been gassed by the toxin from the The
Hounds of Baskerville episode to him landing in a rubbish truck. But what role
did the cyclist play?
OUR VERDICT: We're scratching our heads but reckon the
cyclist and rubbish truck were involved.
2. How will Watson react to Sherlock being alive?
In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Watson faints
and then is overjoyed to see his friend but Sherlock writer Mark Gatiss said,
in an interview with the Radio Times: "I always found it a little unlikely
that Dr Watson's only reaction was to faint... as opposed to possibly a stream
of terrible swear words."
OUR VERDICT: We expect a very fast five stages of grief:
denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The anger stage may
involve Sherlock receiving a punch.
3. Will Irene Adler reappear?
Although Irene Adler only actually appeared in one story
from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (A Scandal in Bohemia), and so far only appeared in
one episode of Sherlock (A Scandal in Belgravia) there is speculation she may
make a return to the show.
Lara Pulver, who portrayed Adler in season two of the show,
told the Radio Times in April that "As far as I know, I’m not going to be
a part of series three". But in September she sparked rumours of her
return in another interview with the magazine when she said: “I don’t think I
said you wouldn’t be seeing me. I said there are other key characters they’re
introducing."
