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.

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! :)

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.

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?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
