New and recent Sherlock fans DO NOT watch the clips if you haven't seen all of series 1&2.
Series 3 of one of the BBC's best British dramas hits our screens on January 1st 2014. For those who don't know, the new episodes are named The Empty Hearse, The Sign of Three and His Last Vow. I know; that last title is worrying. It hasn't been said for sure if this will be the last series but due to the increasingly busy schedules of Benedict Cumberbacth and Martin Freeman it looks like Sherlock may be suiting up to take his last stand after all. If you haven't already seen the official series 3 trailer you can watch it here;
Watson got a moustache and Anderson got a beard! This may be hard to get used to. This is exciting stuff, so to commemorate this momentous event I've got some of the best clips and quites from series 1&2;
Quotes:
John Watson: [upon first seeing Baker Street] Well this is a prime spot. Must be expensive.
Sherlock Holmes: Mrs Hudson, the landlady, is giving me a special deal. She owes me a favour. A few years back her husband got himself sentenced to death in Florida. I was able to help out.
John Watson: You stopped her husband from being executed?
Sherlock Holmes: Oh, no. I ensured it.
Sherlock Holmes: You're an army doctor.
John Watson: Yes.
Sherlock Holmes: Any good?
John Watson: Very good.
Sherlock Holmes: Seen a lot of injuries, then? Violent deaths?
John Watson: Well, yes.
Sherlock Holmes: Bit of trouble too, I bet.
John Watson: Of course, yes. Enough for a lifetime. Far too much.
Sherlock Holmes: Want to see some more?
John Watson: Oh, God, yes!
Sherlock Holmes: The game, Mrs Hudson, is on!
[Getting out of the taxi and on the way to the crime scene.]Sherlock Holmes: Did I get anything wrong?
John Watson: Harry and me don't get on, never have. Clara and Harry split up three months ago and they're getting a divorce. And Harry is a drinker.
Sherlock Holmes: Spot on, then. I didn't expect to be right about everything.
John Watson: Harry's short for Harriet.
Sherlock Holmes: Harry's your sister.
John Watson: What exactly am I supposed to be doing here?
Sherlock Holmes: Sister!
John Watson: No, seriously, what am I doing here?
Sherlock Holmes: There's always something.
[Sherlock has a small squabble with Anderson upon arriving at the new crime scene]Sherlock Holmes: Ah, Anderson. Here we are again.
Anderson: It's a crime scene. I don't want it contaminated! Are we clear on that?
Sherlock Holmes: Quite clear. And is your wife away for long?
Anderson: Oh don't pretend you worked that out! Somebody told you that!
Sherlock Holmes: Your deodorant told me that.
Anderson: My deodorant.
Sherlock Holmes: It's for men.
Anderson: Well of course it's for men! I'm wearing it!
Sherlock Holmes: So's Sergeant Donovan. [sniffs] Ooh... I think it just vaporised. May I go in?
Anderson: Now look, whatever you're implying-
Sherlock Holmes: I'm not implying anything. I'm sure Sally came round for a nice little chat, and just happened to stay over. And I assume she scrubbed your floors, going by the state of her knees.
[Sally looks visibly embarrassed]
Sherlock Holmes: Girlfriend? No, not really my area.
John Watson: Oh right then. [pause] Do you have a boyfriend? Which is fine, by the way —
Sherlock Holmes: I know it’s fine.
John Watson: So you’ve got a boyfriend?
Sherlock Holmes: No.
John Watson: Right, okay. You’re unattached, just like me. Fine. Good.
Sherlock Holmes: (After an awkward pause) John, um... I think you should know that I consider myself married to my work and while I am flattered by your interest I’m —
John Watson: No —
Sherlock Holmes: — really not looking for anyone —
John Watson: No. I’m not asking — no. I was just saying. It’s all fine.
Sherlock Holmes: Good. Thank you.
Sherlock Holmes: [about the murder victim] Her coat is slightly damp; she's been in heavy rain in the last few hours. No rain anywhere in London in that time. Under her coat collar is damp too; she's turned it up against the wind. She's got an umbrella in her left-hand pocket, but it's dry and unused: not just wind, strong wind, too strong to use her umbrella. We know from her suitcase that she was intending to stay overnight, so she must have come a decent distance, but she can't have traveled more than two or three hours because her coat still hasn't dried. So, where has there been heavy rain and strong wind within the radius of that travel time? Cardiff.Dr John Watson: That's fantastic!Sherlock Holmes: Do you know you do that out loud?Dr John Watson: Sorry. I'll shut up.Sherlock Holmes: No, it's... fine.
Sherlock Holmes: We've got a serial killer on our hands. Love those, there's always something to look forward to.
[Sherlock finds Lestrade carrying out a fake drugs bust]Sherlock Holmes: You can't just break into my flat!
DI Lestrade: And you can't withhold evidence! And I didn't break in to your flat.
Sherlock Holmes: Well what do you call this then?
DI Lestrade: It's a drugs bust!
Dr. John Watson: Seriously. This guy, a junkie? Have you met him?
Sherlock Holmes: John.
Dr. John Watson: I'm pretty sure you could search this flat all day and you wouldn't find anything that you could call recreational.
Sherlock Holmes: John, you might want to shut up now.
Dr. John Watson: Yeah, but come on... no...
Sherlock Holmes: What?
Dr. John Watson: ...You?
Sherlock Holmes: Shut up. [To Lestrade] I'm not your sniffer dog.
DI Lestrade: No, Anderson's my sniffer dog.
Sherlock Holmes: What A-[spots Anderson] Anderson? What are you doing here on a drugs bust?!
Anderson: Oh I volunteered.
DI Lestrade: They all did. They're not strictly speaking on the drug squad, but they're very keen.
[Sgt Sally Donovan comes out of the kitchen with a small clear plastic bag with 3 or 4 eyes in it]Sgt. Sally Donovan: Are these human eyes?
Sherlock Holmes: Put those back!
Sgt. Sally Donovan: They were in the microwave!
Sherlock Holmes: It's an experiment!
