At the Bafta Craft awards - Sherlock won 3! - Steven Moffat said this about S3: link.

Sherlock’s executive producer Steven Moffat has promised fans that the climax to the glossy detective drama’s third series will leave them “just as frustrated as ever they were.”

Speaking at the Bafta Craft awards held last weekend, the writer admitted that he and co-writer Mark Gatiss had already penned an ingenious conclusion to the eagerly-awaited third season of the show.

He said: “We’ve had our meeting, we’ve decided what we’re doing and how we’re going to approach it, and I think we’ve got a climax to the next series that will have people just as frustrated as they ever were.”

Aaaaaargh! *tears at hair* What are these two doing to us?! And you can literally see/hear them giggle and rub their hands with glee. It'll be a torture!

I also loved what he said about Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman:

“Benedict is this sort of beautiful, exotic creature. He’s never going to play an ordinary man, ‘cause he couldn’t. That’s not what he’s like, but he will tell the stories of great men.

“Whereas I think Martin Freeman does the exact opposite: he makes ordinary people fascinating. He finds the poetry in just being ordinary, and that’s an extraordinary, exquisite gift. He can tell the story of our lives and make it fascinating.”

Lovely. And I agree, Benedict's Sherlock is so... full of energy, almost frenetic, whereas Martin's John is so absolutely down to earth!
