Have just seen a clip from Marriage where he gives the letter to his daughter, the unspoken emotion. I loved that series, anyone who says he can't act needs to watch this!

Also I've watched that M&S clip quite a lot now, thanks for sharing!

I liked the series Broken that he was in. The prison series Time he was in was good. People who work in prisons said it was realistic which is appalling really.

Mistymornin · 30/07/2023 14:24

A bit of rough - why not!!

I thought he was brilliant in the series where he played a vicar(?)

Christ all bloody mighty. Why have I never seen that.

I once met him at a football match (Shef Utd, but he was there filming a scene for When Saturday Comes). He was everything I wanted him to be (well, everything I could have wanted with my boyfriend there with me!!!). My love for him will never diminish.

No. We don’t say ‘the’ in Yorkshire. Be more ‘downt mine’ in Sheff.

Tbf it probably be Down.pit 😃

Brefugee · 22/07/2023 13:25

yep, it never ceases to amaze me how the accent changes as you move across the city.

Could also be ‘dahnt mine’. There’s a few different accents here. 😆

Brefugee · 22/07/2023 13:24

to be honest it's more like a glottal stop, so "down''mine"

WomanOfSteel · 22/07/2023 13:22

RachelTopliss · 21/07/2023 20:43

Wasn't he about 40 when he filmed that? They also talked about 'down the mine' is that real Yorkshire speak!

It was FA Cup against Man U.. and yes!! The Mexican wave LOL The forced mexican wave for the filming and the being made to cheer for it all!

It was a very long time ago now! Two friends were getting drinks during second half and stopped him while one came and got me knowing my love for him even then :D

Show quote history

I remember the match as I was a season ticket holder but wasn’t sat in my normal seat unfortunately. I ended up somewhere near the back of the kop. I was only 17 and as I’m short I was stood on my seat for most of it. I much prefer the upper tier on the away end.

I'm not sure he does in Cabin Pressure, his is the least distinctive voice out of the four main cast.

Show quote history

Benedict Cumberbatch can do a French accent, after a fashion.

Cabin Pressure and Le Bear Polar

Captain Martin Crieff and First Officer Douglas of MJN Air have an ongoing disagreement throughout the episode, which Douglas uses to his full advantage. Pa...

Plus, he did that nice pisstake (in the yorkshire tea advert) of the typecasting his has been prone to. So that's another trick. Several so far.

Perhaps the weird opening post was written by AI doing subtle marketing for Yorkshire Tea.

I love that advert, me being from Yorkshire like 😁

Ooh I’d forgotten about the balloons! I remember that now. I was on the kop. Was there a Mexican wave going on as well or have I confused that with another match? I seem to remember one going on for ages but my memory is terrible. I also went to another night there especially for the film. They moved us around the stands whilst they filmed some of the scenes, acting like we were following a real match. I have an old school friend that acted in it when he was a kid and a lot of them (including SB) still keep in touch with him.

With all the balloons they couldn't burst in time for the second half because one of the stands had been knocked down at the time??

Still one of the greatest moments of my life :D (I was there as an away supporter ;) )

I am not really a fan and would have agreed op until I saw him in Broken, his performance was sensitive, nuanced, understated, just brilliant actually.

JMSA · 21/07/2023 12:31

Must admit, I don't find him particularly memorable.

MrsScrubbingbrush · 21/07/2023 12:28

DP sat next to him at a black tie dinner. He said they weren't inviting other halves so I couldn't go 😠 it turned out that there were spare seats on his table.

I have yet to forgive DP (even though he got SB to sign a LOTR book for me "with love from Sean Bean"
