Martin Freeman was the host last night on Saturday Night Live, where he did a digital short called The Office: Middle Earth that combined his roles in The Hobbit films and The Office television series. In the short, the characters from The Hobbit — including Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Tauriel, Gollum, and Legolas — take up office jobs after their epic adventure that saved Middle-earth.

Freeman was part of the original British Office TV series starring Ricky Gervais, which was the basis for the U.S. Steve Carell version.

The folks at BBC One tweeted an exciting picture this afternoon of a couple of prominent detectives in early 20th century attire. In what could be a teaser for a return of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman‘s Sherlock Holmes and Watson in the popular series Sherlock, the image below will no doubt get fans worked up and excited for the detective’s return.

You can see the image below.

Waiting for a new season of Sherlock is already hard enough as it is, so waiting for two years for new episodes makes it that much harder. But developing these episodes isn’t easy, for Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are essentially working on three movies in the span of a year. And with the actors both in high demand, scheduling to work on a new season has been difficult.

Freeman was conducting a few interviews earlier this week, and spoke about a Sherlock Christmas Special. It wasn’t the new season we were all hoping for, but getting one episode of Sherlock, a Christmas-themed episode no less, would be more than enough to satisfy our fix. But as it turns out, there is more to it than that. It has been confirmed that the Christmas Special will also be followed by season four of the series. Hit the jump for more.

Tonight, the UK will get the second episode of Season 3 of Sherlock, titled “The Sign of Three,” which sees John Watson (Martin Freeman) getting married to his love Mary Morstan (played by Freeman’s real-life love, actress Amanda Abbington). Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) is the best man and we all know how Sherlock behaves in social situations, so the show is hyping that the famous detective will face his greatest challenge — delivering the best man’s toast.

The episode will involve much more than the wedding, but for now, the BBC One has released several images from John and Mary’s wedding, which you can view here below.

Sherlock Season 3 debuted on BBC One in the UK on New Year’s Day, and while those of us in the United States are still waiting for the season to air here, the UK will get the second episode, “The Sign of Three,” on January 5.

BBC One has released the trailer for the second episode and you can watch it here below.
