the kitchen is a kitchen

with a toaster

and some pots and pants

and food in the cabinets

notice the lack of beakers and syringes and microscopes and bottles of chemicals

Kristina: … honestly, my first question is, what made you decide to start interacting with the fans and the fandom in general?
Amanda: Because you’re all so lovely to Martin. And you’re all really nice. You all seem very intelligent, funny, and talented girls. Seeing some of the artwork and some of the stuff that was being written. It’s so good. Martin’s very very very very private—freakishly private, which is a good thing. I love that he is. But I just wanted to say thank you on his behalf and say hi and I fully support what you’re doing. It’s fine! And I’m not one of those girlfriends or wives who goes, “Those bitches!” I’m not like that at all, and I just wanted to say, you’re doing a fabulous job, because you are. I think it’s lovely how much you love Martin, and I love it. I genuinely love it. …
Kristina: …You said that Martin found Tumblr first. Did that come before or after you started playing on the Facebook group?
Amanda: After.Everything came afterward. So we looked at Tumblr first and just used to giggle a lot. “Look I’m a kitten, why am I a kitten?” It went from there, really. I thought it was really fun.
Kristina: What’s your favorite thing or the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen?
Amanda: There’s one picture. Oh I’m laughing now. [Martin with the BAFTA, next to a picture of a hedgehog. Amanda has it saved on her phone and shows it.] But we love all the artwork. Some of the paintings are just amazing. And the knitted stuff! I got sent a knitted otter and a hedgehog. I love it. They’re upstairs. I won’t let the children play with them.
Kristina: These are mine!
Ardy: This is not a toy.
Amanda: No, these are Mummy’s.

Following weeks (or is it months?) of speculation, Sherlockology can reveal that filming on the eagerly anticipated third series of Sherlock will commence on Monday March 18 2013.

Martin Freeman and other sources have been counting down to the beginning of production over the past weeks in various interviews and events, and so we approached Hartswood Films producer Sue Vertue with a likely date for the start of filming, which she confirmed for us.

Sue also kindly confirmed a second piece of information relating to the scheduling of filming on the new series. Long planned scheduling around the availability of both Benedict and Martin means that principal photography on Sherlock Series Three will be done in two sections, with two episodes being filmed from March 18. A break will occur in the early summer, and then the third and final episode will be shot a few weeks later.

Sue commented: "We could never have fitted all three films into one long go because of everyone's availability. It's being flexible like this which allows us to keep making them."

So, the wait for news of the start of filming is over, and as production shifts into top gear we'll be bringing you all the news - spoiler free! - on Sherlock Series Three as it develops.
