Dunno how he did it but it was miles better than Big Brother, TOWIE and the other sh1te that's usually on TV!

But Holmes and Moriarty are two completely different builds! I'm willing to suspend disbelief a bit but I hope it's not as silly as this 'oh it was just a Holmes mask like they do in Mission Impossible sort of thing.'

Obviously it was something cooked up by the lab bird & SH. I doubt it was Moriarty's body in the street, he'd have to be found on the roof, especially with all that blood. I reckon it could have been a body "borrowed" from the hospital morgue, similar build, with something on the face, then the after effects covered up by Mycroft.
I don't see it being SHs body, there is no "safe way to fall" from about 8 stories high. Or it could just be silly.

As already mentioned, this is totally in line with Conan Doyle killing them both off at the reichenbacj falls, but then having to bring them back through popular demand. Will be fascinated to see the explanationwhich, if the rest of the series is anything to go by, will be totally plausible.
The acting throughout has been excellent, but i thought Martin freeman's acting at the end, talking to the gravestone, was superb.

The lab-bird as she keeps being refered to is called Molly, Im going with Bozza's theory, think its a great programme and cannot wait for the new one
Yet he had no scars or anything when we saw him at the fuenral?
And why hasn't he BANGED her yet?

The body that went off the roof was still very much alive. His legs were 'cycling' in mid air.
It is possible that:
- it was sherlock who went of the roof. But he may have 'fallen' into something safe (like a mattress truck).
- a body was placed on the ground complete with bleeding head (could be a replacement or a 'made up' Holmes complete with blood
- sherlock was shocked when Moriarty shot himself so I dont think its his body as that wasnt part of the plan. Although the newspaper headlines didnt mention his death too. Surely it would have covered something about murdering Moriarty then leaping to his death?
- watson was clearly placed to watch sherlock fall and it gave enough time for John to be knocked over by the girl on the bike which a) slowed him down from getting to 'holmes' which allowed a change of body or a made up Holmes to lay on the ground, and b) not fully recognise him / check if he was dead. Molly is most likely the cyclist but would have helped with the pathology of a made up 'body'
- being a hospital, it was easy to get 'nurses' and 'paramedics' to him and take him inside
- I do think Mycroft is involved and will due to his guilt, help him cover it up
In any case, a truly fantastic series.

Holmes jumped to land in the lorry with refuse bags to break his fall, you just see this lorry pulling away as Watson turns the corner to see the scene. That's why he leapt like he did - to get the right distance to land in the lorry. It must've then either been a body double on the ground or Holmes after getting off the truck - hence Watson being hit by the cyclist to delay and confuse him. The lab girl was in on it of course.

Watson wasn't the only witness though, there were lots of other people around

All in on it possibly? Or the positioning of the lorry meant that their view was obscured too? I'm leaning towards a body double cadavar as the shot of the hand where the pulse was taken seemed significant and the hand looked too large and 'manual worker-like' for that of Sherlock.

If it was another, already dead body then it would have been cold, no? Sherlock would still have been warm of course.
Also i was sure the cyclist was a bloke.

One of the realy brilliant series of the last couple of decades. The two of them are very well suited to the parts. Top notch TV for me. Well done BBC.
Cant' wait for the 'Case of the Doggie Freemen'.

Perhaps he had a visit from Annie Wilks
Conan Doyle brought Holmes back but not Moriarty.
It was great stuff last night and I haven't a scooby how it was done - apart from the obvious of Molly being involved somehow. I wonder if Moffat has fully worked out the details yet.
The lorry is full of scaffolding poles.
That's a double ouch.
