Yes, 1st question was someone asking if Snowths were coming in Series 4. He said no just as you mentioned. But then it gets tricky.
Next question asks if Uncle Deadly will be in Series 4 or Series 5. He responds by saying Series 4 will be announced very soon. In context to previous question, I took that as a sort of confirmation since he didn't say Uncle Deadly was not coming (as he did with the Snowths). Instead of denying Unvle Deadly was coming, he said Series 4 is coming real soon.
Shaky I know, but I'm hopeful.
