Rarely, if ever, do you actually get to pick up where you left off.

What’s true of life in general also seems to be part of the message of this next round of adventures for Sherlock and Watson.  The BBC just released a “full” trailer for the show’s third season, which drops in the UK a few days before it drops in the States.

There are links to an interactive version of the trailer, too.  I started watching it but decided I didn’t want the biggest mystery since the Smoke Monster to be ruined for me.  I look forward to the explanation of the two-year gap almost as much as I look forward to hearing about how Sherlock survived his final fall.

Sherlock series three premieres on January 14, 2014 on PBS. (And you can catch the show’s leads in the next Hobbit movie, which premieres this weekend.)
