What about the third one?

What about the third one?

They're keeping the third episode more hush-hush at the moment and haven't yet released the title.

Possibly a spoiler in the title

That explains the clue words "Thatcher" and "Smith" (the latter being Culverton Smith from the Dying Detective, which is consistent with this show's word plays on the original titles). Apparently "The Six Thatchers" appears on Watson's blog (http://www.gamesradar.com/heres-what-those-three-key-words-for-sherlock-season-4-could-mean/) and could be a modern take on "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons", with Maggie Thatcher replacing Napoleon as the formidable world leader of mythical status.

I don't know what "gamesradar.com" is, but John's blog is on an official BBC website. Here's his account of "The Six Thatchers":

Thanks, I enjoyed reading that.

The last episode is listed here as The Final Problem.

The last episode is listed here as The Final Problem.
If that's the case, that's interesting, because it would be the first episode to retain the title of the original short stories word per word.

As I stated in another thread, they already adapted The Final Problem for The Reichenbach Fall.

Maybe it's a spelling mistake on IMDb. Maybe it's meant to be The Finale Problem. As in: it's going to be the last episode of the whole show but the writers don't know how to end the storylines properly, hence there's a problem. 
