this link is a 404 not found but if somebody knows what anon is talking about go to town

Nothing in the source code, but this is certainly weird…

The url to view series 1 is http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/programmes/sherlock-series-1/. if you change up the end of the url to “-series-one,” you’ll get this image

the same thing will happen if you switch up the end of the url for series 2 (http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/programmes/sherlock-series-2/) to “-series-two”

The working url for series 3 is http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/programmes/sherlock-series-three/, and when you try to switch up the end of it to “-series-3,” you get the “page not found” error again.

HOWEVER…?? The url for series 4 is http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/programmes/sherlock-series-four/ and will give you the typical details:

yet if you switch up THIS url to end in “-series-4” (the variant suggested by the latest update at http://thelostspecial.com/bbc-hartswood-sherlock-series-4/)  you don’t get the error page, but an “unfinished” page for series 4, what lol

an “unfinished” page for series 4

Can you believe it? wow this keeps getting weirder and weirder and i love it!

Maybe they started making the page for season 4, but a different person had to finish the website. The second person didn’t know about the first, unfinished page, and so made an entirely new one with the strange URL.

I’ve done minor website design myself, and in my experience its possible to lose track of what pages you have, especially if you have a ton of them. Add to that an entirely new person trying to play catch up and learn how to manage the site that they previously knew nothing about–I’d say it makes sense.
