New 'Sherlock' Trailer Is, Wonderfully, The Gayest Thing Yet

We can all agree, can we not, that the best thing the BBC’s Sherlock is the lusty, gnarly tension between John Watson (Martin Freeman) and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch). No? We’re not all on the same page here? FINE. They’re just roommates. FINE. Irene Adler is the love of Sherlock’s life. FINE. These are the sartorial efforts of a perfectly straight man.

Here’s the new trailer for Series 3. Unlike the previous trailers which mostly told us about the action on John Watson’s upper lip, this one actually gives some information. Spoiler alert: the cake is a lie. Enjoy!

Series 3 will premiere on PBS on January 19th, 2014. There will, however, be a Christmas mini-sode to tide us over until then. It will air in the UK on Christmas Day and here, well, as soon as we can get our grubby internet fingers on it, I imagine.
