One fan tweeted: “Imagine: Apple Tree Yard stops in the middle of the episode, the screen turns black, the Sherlock theme starts playing and episode 4 begins.”
It seems that Sherlock obsessives tuned into new BBC drama Apple Tree Yard, which is filling the Sunday evening slot that used to be taken by the detective series, in the hope that it might be a secret episode.
And if people want to write whatever they like and have a great time extrapolating that’s absolutely fine.
Not trying to insult anybody or make any kind of issue out of it, there’s nothing there.
