We Have a Date

No, not that kind of date, but one for Sherlock's eagerly awaited 3rd season. Well, sort of.

Because actually, it's not us who have a date, but our dear fellows on the other side of the big pond, who are going to find out how Sherlock survived his fall on 

January 19 at 10 p.m.

You may want to save it. 

However, maybe not, because in the brave new world of copyright infringements and streaming sites you do not need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that BBC One may want to broadcast season 3 a bit earlier than that, i.e. even if you happen to live on the North pole, you could watch season 3 only a few hours after the lucky guys in the UK.

So, the big question regarding the British air date still remains. One thing for sure, this time PBS Masterpiece won't make the mistake of letting fans wait 4 additional months. Just in case you didn't know, while the  Britons could enjoy season 2 already on January 1 2o12, PBS Masterpiece only broadcast it on May 6. Unsurprisingly, the fact that you could watch "A Scandal In Belgravia" in Russia only one day after the British air date caused a bit of a scandal in its own right.

But back to the British air date. Taking the fact into account that the BBC's 'the two of us against the rest of the world'-trailer is actually entitled 'Original British Drama 2013' there's hope season 3 airs this year.
