"I don’t know how on Earth anyone could interpret Irene Adler as a weak character when she risks everything and is that kind of brave and authentic. I never felt like she needed to be rescued by Sherlock. I think it was more a testament to the effect that she’d had on him that he risked everything to go and save her. I think it says more about his character and the journey he went on from meeting her than it says about her, because actually, she was saying “Goodbye Sherlock Holmes”, she was sitting there ready to die, it was the end of the road for her. I think it says a lot more about what he was willing to risk than her strength or her weakness. In my opinion."

Sherlock star and co-writer Mark Gatiss has revealed Dr Watson may not be pleased to see Sherlock, when he returns from the dead in the new series.

The last cliff-hanger episode of the hit TV show saw Sherlock, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, and nemesis Moriarty plunge to their apparent death from the roof of St Bart’s hospital in London.

Gatiss revealed that, as in Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story The Adventure Of The Empty House, Sherlock will surprise his friend Watson, played by Martin Freeman, when he reveals he faked his death. And Watson won’t be quite as understanding as he was in the original story.

Gatiss said: “There’s certain things about The Adventure Of The Empty House which feel set in stone because that’s how Sherlock comes back, but at the same time we feel free to invent and to introduce new stuff to it.

“I always found it a little unlikely that Dr Watson’s only reaction was to faint for instance - as supposed to possibly a stream of terrible swear words.”

 #just the fact that john thinks he knows him that well already #knows him well enough to defend him #and to want to defend him #some guy he met in a morgue yesterday #and the parallel between this scene and the scene from the fall #that tiny moment of doubt #is completely and utterly gone #to go from that to #i know you #100% #to trust sherlock even when sherlock is telling him not to #because john is so far form an idiot and he knows #he knows the difference between people he can trust and people he can’t #people who are good and people who aren’t #and instantly he knows sherlock is the former #despite the morgue and the body and the warnings and the man himself he knows #john who has no reason to trust anyone trusts sherlock holmes #because mycroft was so fucking right #before john even knew he was right #of all the people #john chose him #and he chose right #even if everybody#absolutely everybody #is telling him he chose wrong

Sherlock: Alice.
Alice: It’s been too long, Sherlock Holmes. Interesting case?
Sherlock: Better. 
Alice: Moriarty.
Sherlock: Yes. To what do I owe this visit?
Alice: Has he been keeping you occupied with another little game, then? I can only hope for your sake that he’s developed some imagination since your last little tryst.
Sherlock: Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Alice.
Alice: Do you want to catch him more than you want to catch me?
Sherlock: At the moment, yes. I’m running out of time.
Alice: Because if I thought you were about to lose interest in me, I’d be inconsolable.
Sherlock: You haven’t bored me yet.
Alice: Are you trying to beguile me?
Sherlock: No, I wouldn’t be so foolish. Why are you here?
Alice: I want to help you.
Sherlock: I find it highly improbable that you would presume that I need your help, much less that you would be here without an ulterior motive. Why are you here?
Alice: You need me. 
Sherlock: No. I’m tolerating you, there’s a difference. What I need is to figure out where Moriarty has made a mistake and catch him out before he levels half of London, and, as I’m sure you’re aware, you’re incredibly distracting.
Alice: Flattery to appease a malignant narcissist. That’s a frivolous tactic. 
Sherlock: Did it work? 
Alice: …Yes. Moriarty is just a naughty child, showing off. You don’t need a mistake, you already know his flaw — his compulsion to dominate, to be in control — and you already know how to exploit that. 
Sherlock: How? 
Alice: Oh, come on. Change the state of play. 
Sherlock: I tried that with you and it failed. 
Alice: Only just. 
Sherlock: …Are you trying to beguile me?
