I like how two of those photographs have captions that talk about Karen, but completely ignore poor Arthur. It's so ... Rory!

He's got two different color suspenders in that last shot.
Are those things reversible?

Especially the second one "Karen is surrounded by male crew members." That's clearly Arthur Darvill next to her.
On a tangential note, Bleeding Cool has a report on the shooting schedule for the next season of Sherlock -- early 2013, after season seven of Doctor Who is finished filming.
I'm not sure if it's deliberate on the part of the writer, but it basically corroborates the unstated subtext to Danny Cohen's comments from June, that Moffat is incapable of running two shows at once.

Are you surprised? Running a show is hard work. I'd rather have him concentrating on one at a time.
Also keep in mind that he has to work around his stars other commitments.
Yeah people will conviniently forget that Cumberbatch/Freeman have other jobs
I agree though, I'd rather he did one at a time rather than went down the Whedon route of juggling 2 or 3 shows at once. One of them always suffers.
I'd be very happy to see Myles as the next companion, but I wouldn't want her to be Reinette.

Pretty impressive set.
If it'll make you feel any better, it was announced on Thursday that season 3 of Sherlock will not film until 2013:

That's bound to piss off a few people considering a) season 2 ended on a cliffhanger and b) by the time Sherlock 3 airs that US remake might have been given an opportunity to dominate public interest. Or crash and burn which always has the potential to turn people off the "original" (or "original" as something based on Sherlock Holmes can be, anyway!).
But it makes sense considering Benedict Cumberbatch is busy filming Star Trek and Martin Freeman is doing The Hobbit. Plus production of Doctor Who is expected to last into the new year.
That news item contains a tidbit I never knew - Benedict Cumberbatch is the son of Wanda Ventham, a three-time Doctor Who guest star (Image of the Fendahl, Time and the Rani, and one other in the 60s) who is best remembered as Colonel Lake in Gerry Anderson's UFO series.

The "Cumberbatch and Freeman are busy" excuse doesn't wash. Filming on The Hobbit will wrap by the end of June. Star Trek should wrap by September -- and even then there's no reason for Cumberbatch to still be filming by that point. (Eric Bana's filming was early in Star Trek's shooting schedule. Same with Ricardo Montalban on Star Trek II.)
The point is, as far as we know, the actors would be free to start on Sherlock in 2012. So if Sherlock isn't filming in 2012, it's not because of their schedules. It's because of Moffat's.
You don't KNOW that! You're just assuming that. It could be lack of studio that they require, it could be BBC budgeting, it could be Cumberbatch and/or Freeman are signed up for other movies/projects you are not aware of (privy to). You just don't know. Maybe Moffat's planning a crossover that needs to have DW finish first. It could be anything.
It is an assumption, yes, yet it's not an unwarranted assumption. Moffat has demonstrated quite convincingly in the past two years that he's unable to have two series in production simultaneously, and people high up at the BBC, like Danny Cohen, have said so. It is thus not unreasonable to conclude that Moffat continues to be unable to run two series simultaneously, especially when Sherlock 3's filming schedule just so happens to come after Who 7. But my real point in replying to Alex was to point out that Cumberbatch and Freeman aren't the cause of Sherlock's late filming. Fandom should really stop blaming them for a problem that lays elsewhere.
Y'know, I'm willing to cut the man some slack, mainly because I've yet to see a case where someones been able to successfully run two unrelated tv shows at once.
He'll also need time to actually write scripts, and at the same time hes got a family at home. I'm perfectly happy with him NOT rushing to get the episodes done or burning himself out to meet some deadline.
And going back to the actors, keep in mind that they're also likely to be needed for promotional tours. Especially Freeman.
