Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have begun shooting the second run of Sherlock.

The titles for the next three episodes of the BBC One drama have also been confirmed by co-creator Steven Moffat as 'A Scandal In Belgravia', 'The Hound of Baskervilles' and 'The Reichenbach Fall'. Fellow writer Mark Gatiss previously revealed these details at the Kapow convention in London.

Filming has started on location in Cardiff and London for the fourth, fifth and sixth instalments in the Arthur Conan Doyle reboot.

Moffat penned the twisted love story ('Scandal'), Gatiss wrote the classic horror ('Baskervilles'), while Stephen Thompson is writing the finale ('Fall').

Ben Stephenson, Controller of BBC Drama Commissioning, said: "The hotly-anticipated return of BBC One's hit series Sherlock begins filming this week with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on fine form."

Paul McGuigan (Monroe) returns to direct the series alongside Toby Haynes (Being Human), while Sue Vertue (Coupling) and Elaine Cameron (Jekyll) will be on producer duties.

Ooooh, looking forward to see how they do 'The Hound of Baskervilles'.

They're only shooting now? I though Martin Freeman was off doing The Hobbit movies now, and considering he's playing Bilbo I would have figured he would be pretty busy.

Anyways glad to see they are doing a 2nd series.

this is the problem film it now or not film it at all...I believe he was allowed to take time out to film this.

Great episode, good to finally have it back. Series one was brilliant.

Damn missed it, doesn't look like its shown again either on BBC HD (the next episode is on the 8th which looks like episode 2 :()

Not on BBC HD, but it is on BBC Three on Saturday at 7pm, or on iPlayer (HD link). Hopefully that helps! :)

Sounds interesting, let's see how it goes :).

I was really looking forward to this because the first season was so good. Unfortunately I thought it was a huge let down.

This episode suffered from all the problems that make Dr Who unwatchable. The storyline was largely incoherent, the plot had massive holes in it, simple work-arounds were found for insurmountable problems and manic busyiness is the only device used to drive the story on. I don't know how Steven Moffat ever got his job at the BBC but I often wish my license fee wasn't wasted on him.

Here's a tip Steven - artificial excitement is no substitute for an intelligent, engaging plot and strong character development. Unfortunately you're writing lacks all of the above.

[RadishTM Veteran]

An absolute blinding episode, kept me on the edge throughout with Sherlock/Irene outwitting each other constantly and Lara Pulver acted much better in this than in "Spooks" (Y)

Really looking forward to watching the modern version of "The Hounds of Baskerville" now :yes:

At what point did you find the storyline incoherent? Most people here seem to have followed it quite easily?
