Oh man, that’s what I needed - another time-waster. And here I am supposed to be getting the pre-holiday cleaning done. Which is my way of saying thanks for the link, **rocking chair**. I’ll be passing that along to some other people. ---

The BBC announced the air date of the 1st ep of series 3 (1st January) by, err, driving a hearse around London.

A reference to the title of the first episode, _The Empty Hearse_. I love how all the titles are twists on the titles of the original Conan Doyle stories. ---

30, count 'em, 30 photos of S3 have been released.

Cool photos! What’s this? A “[mini episode](http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/03/sherlock-mini-episode-many-happy-returns-to-air-on-christmas-day-4212469/)” of _Sherlock_ to air on Christmas day? What’s the BBC red button service? ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > What’s the BBC red button service? It’s a digital thing that can carry additional/supplementary programming (amongst other things like text based news). It’s often used at events like Wimbledon so that you can watch other matches than the ones that the main broadcast channels are carrying. You literally access it by pressing the red button on your remote. The Sherlock mini-episode will definitely be on the website/Youtube channel etc too. ---

In case anyone else hasn’t been keeping up as well, the three dates in the UK are: Wednesday, 1 January Sunday, 5 January Sunday, 12 January If you haven’t a nefarious way to deceive the iPlayer, I’m sure the first will be available somewhere on the internet before 2 January … ---

I have to wait until I get my dvd’s, dammit. My husband’s schedule won’t allow him to see the airing of the first and third episodes and I promised I would not watch them until he could. On the upside I am scoring some serious spouse points (good for future rewards). On the downside I suppose this means I have to stay off the internet until sometime in February. ---
