Oh God.
It's just that it can't be escaped. There's no denying that Sherlock Holmes has had a lot of cultural impact over the past year, what with the release of the Hollywood Movie and the BBC's Sherlock. But after the release of the sequel and the second series of Sherlock the popularity for this canon has flourished. If you flick through the freeview channels there are now even repeats of the previous series such as 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' and book sales have seen an almost 50% resurgence since the beginning of the films/series.
Isn't it amazing the effect that a few well written episodes will have on our consumer behaviour. Not to mention my friends and my own behaviour. Because I can't help but escape the discussion of how he supposedly faked his own death. The internet is just teeming with theories as to how it was done. I have had many conversations about it with my own mother and people I work with and to be honest I just don't think I can wait a year.
But I really love the effort that Moffat and Gatiss have put into creating the Sherlockverse.

and crucially Richard Brook - Red Herring or real?
So if anyone would just like to work it out for me, that would be greatly appreciated.
