Trivia
Sherlock's parents are played by actor Timothy Carlton and actress Wanda Ventham, Benedict Cumberbatch's real-life parents.

The helicopter that Sherlock and John use to go to Magnussen's house is the same (same registry number) that Mycroft uses when the Police raids the house.

Quotes
Sherlock Holmes: Oh, do your research. I'm not a hero, I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Merry Christmas!

Crazy credits
During the credits, certain letters of people's names are red instead of white - I will indicate via parentheses where the red letter is: "Location Managers . . . Ben Mangha(m)" "Production Accountant . . . Dav(i)d Jones" "Production Manager . . . Claire Hi(l)dred" "Unit Managers . . . Da(v)id Gunkle" "Assistant Grip . . . Ow(e)n Charnley" "Production Buyer . . . Blaanid Madd(r)ell" "Construction Manager . . . Mark Pain(t)er" "Dubbing Mixer . . . H(o)ward Bargroff" "Executive Producer for MASTERPIECE . . . Rebecca Eato(n)" The red letters spell out MILVERTON, a reference to the Sherlock Holmes Adventure "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton," which is a significant source of inspiration for this episode.

Better than previous episode

Well after completing three series i can say that so far the journey was extraordinary . Series 3 may not be the best series probably because of the second episode the three signs but the first and particularly the last one,his last vow were awesome. I fervently wish that the entire team of sherlock comes with a bang this time . And i can say that i am deeply satisfied how the series is running. Talk about favorites,Than my personal favorites were three episodes the Reichenberg falls , a scandal in Bulgaria and his last vow and the best series was undoubtedly series 2.I just hope that they never change the cast especially martin freeman
