Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: those eyes, those cheekbones, THAT voice!

Seeing as the Sherlock discussions are dying down I thoguth I'd start a new thread for all the BC fans out there - judging by the number of MNers with him on their "List", he surely deserves his own thread.

So here it is: a place to share videos, pictures, articles and whatever else you want. The only thing I'll say is that I'd appreciate it if no one posted a link to the video(s) of BC dancing at a wedding. Apparently it was stolen from his ex girlfriend and is the cause of much upset. So lets be respectful. Otherwise, anything goes grin

I'll get us started with some personal favourites:

For Your Entertainment

Sherlock trailer - pay close attention to the wink @ 0.42 and his whip action @ 0.51 grin

A very sweet interview

And finally some gratuitous modelling shots, with my personal favourite the black and white shot featured at 2.53 [drools]

Share/comment away grin

CaveMum - you read my mind. I even checked Sleb Twaddle last night to see if anyone had started a Benedict appreciation thread. Going to check your links and then I might be back with a few of my own before DH gets home.

If you like BC I can recommend a Radio 4 sitcom called Cabin Pressure (catch it on iplayer)... Very funny!

FirstOfficerDouglasRichardson Fri 20-Jan-12 16:40:59

Aaah but it's radio so you won't be able to admire the cheekbones.

This is the one set to ET by Katy Perry. Can't hear this song now without thinking of the clips grin.

The finger wiggle at about 13 seconds usually prompts a bit of a whimper. I have a bit of a thing for nice hands and - of my word - he does have beautiful beautiful hands.

And then there's this.

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 16:44:42

What the feck is up with my typing? oh my word not of my word.

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 16:45:50

On the subject of radio plays, the Radio 4 Saturday play Tom and Viv might still be on iPlayer. He plays Tom. Helped me to get through the ironing last Sunday!

CaveMum Fri 20-Jan-12 16:47:23

Prey - filthy great minds think alike wink

Forgot to say that in the first video watch out for the ovary damaging "damn good shag" moment [faints]
Saltire, who I'm sure will be along shortly, got her DH to turn it into a text alert for her phone envy envy

Can I just lower the tone by putting this up?blushgrin

diddl Fri 20-Jan-12 16:50:01

Ooh sorry, it´s up!

CaveMum Fri 20-Jan-12 16:51:44

I must also mention the interview with BC I read (can't remember in what), where he talks about wanting his greatest achievement in life to be his [future] children and that his biggest regret is that he's not a father already [melts]

HE. IS. THE. PERFECT. MAN. grin

I appreciate him muchly smile

"HE. IS. THE. PERFECT. MAN."

Amen to that-although I think he ought to stop fucking foxesgrin

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 16:59:42

Surely we've been mainlining enough Benedict clips off YouTube and searching Google images for us all to be pregnant? grin

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 17:02:04

Good grief he cooks too.

NB: merely chopping onions qualifies as cooking in my book.

CaveMum Fri 20-Jan-12 17:11:10

But the BEST thing about him? He's single (apologies for Daily Fail link) grin

[conveniently forgets she is married and trying to get up the duff]

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 17:15:14

At the risk of looking like a complete and utter stalker, prepare to sigh.

And something for the walls.

And this

And finally (for now) I do love a man who knows how to wear a suit.

megcleary Fri 20-Jan-12 17:15:44

Can I join purleeeesee I love him oodles and have explained to DH that Benedict is the only one on the list now and the list is laminated.

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 17:18:18

Come on in megcleary. The more the merrier I think. Speaking for myself, it makes me feel slightly less of a stalker who really should know better!

There's only two on my list. It's laminated.

Check out my hoverer thingy on my name. It's been there for quite a while. grin

Not sure if this already up apologies if it is my contribution to the joy.

CaveMum Fri 20-Jan-12 17:39:31

Can't post links from my phone (have now left work) but if you Google "Cumberbatch Tennant picture" you will find an image that pretty much sums up my ideal night wink.

Best thing of all, Messrs Cumberbatch, Tennant and (Matt) Smith are all friends, so I just need to meet one of them and I'll have access to them all [evil laugh] [deluded]

LetUsPrey Fri 20-Jan-12 17:39:40

CaveMum - I completely missed the second part of your title! Definitely agree with the eyes, the cheekbones and - oh my word - the voice. I'll throw a vote in for his hands.

I'd better go now. DH will be home soon and the DC are so desperate they're in the kitchen foraging for food.

SaltireOShanter Fri 20-Jan-12 17:45:02

Cavemum woo hoo, I'm here I made it! grin.

SaltireOShanter Fri 20-Jan-12 17:48:05

"ooh yes benedcit just remmove a few more bits of clothing" grin
