"Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat has revealed that a fourth series is yet to be confirmed. Speaking at last night&amp;#039;s (May 12) BAFTA Television Awards, Moffat revealed that while he is keen to make another run of the detective drama, star Benedict Cumberbatch was premature in announcing the show&amp;#039;s recommission back in March.  &amp;quot;We were all in a state of shock,&amp;quot; the writer laughed. &amp;quot;I think BBC Drama were quite surprised.&amp;quot; He then added: &amp;quot;But it&amp;#039;s a huge hit - if everyone wants to do it, there&amp;#039;ll be a fourth one\u2026 assuming anyone survives!&amp;quot; Moffat also teased details of Sherlock&amp;#039;s third series premiere &amp;#039;The Empty Hearse&amp;#039;, but refused to confirm if classic Conan Doyle villain Sebastian Moran would feature in the episode. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t always stick to the stories - I think you should watch!&amp;quot; he said. &amp;gt; Martin Freeman on fourth series of Sherlock: &amp;#039;I really love the show&amp;#039; Watch a clip from Sherlock&amp;#039;s series two finale below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
