It maybe the most hotly anticipated television return of the year, but Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch didn't look as though the pressure was getting to him.

The 37-year-old was spotted having his make-up done before enjoying a cuppa with the crew at a London pizza restaurant last week.

The Star Trek actor and co-star Martin Freeman were in the capital filming scenes for the third series of the hit BBC1 show.

One thing we do know about episode one is that it will be loosely based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story The Adventure of the Empty House – in which Holmes reveals he faked his own death. The end of series two was one of the most thrilling cliffhangers in modern television. In the final episode, entitled The Reichenbach Fall, viewers saw Sherlock watch his own funeral from a distance after appearing to leap from a tower block.

Martin looks deep in thought as the cast prepare to film a scene for series three of the show
