When asked by
The Radio Times how long we would have to wait for the third series of
Sherlock Moffat said:
Until we can make them great. I mean the audience of Sherlock will have to get used to a bit of starvation. That's because we're making movies. Those 6 films we made now could go in the cinema. You can't factory produce that. So when we're good and ready. It won't be that long...but when we're good and ready you'll get the follow-up. We will starve you and make you wait and we will tease you.
Moffat also went on to point out his favorite Holmes story is
The Speckled Band, and if you haven't read it you really need to. He said he couldn't say if it would be in the next series, being the sly master of manipulation he is. When asked about the throw-away line in
Sherlock about the case of the speckled blonde being his homage to
The Speckled Band meaning that he wouldn't do it in the series, he stated:
Surely by now you've must have learned not by now not to try and predict us. We deliberately lie, we deliberately confuse in order to keep you in the dark about our intentions.
