s7Sadly we have come to the end of another superb series of Sherlock with The Reichenbach Fall, the Sherlock series 2 finale having aired last Sunday in the UK. 

The episode received an extraordinary 91 appreciation index rating and ratings of nearly 8 million which is likely to increase once time shift figures are taken into account.

Shortly after the series ended co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss announced on twitter that there would be a third series and that it had been commissioned at the same time as series 2. They kept that quiet! Expect to see Sherlock back some time in 2013.
