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:

- pay close attention to the wink @ 0.42 and his whip action @ 0.51 Grin

And finally some gratuitous , 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 · 20/01/2012 16:40

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

LetUsPrey · 20/01/2012 16:43

This is the . 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 .

LetUsPrey · 20/01/2012 16:44

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

LetUsPrey · 20/01/2012 16:45

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 · 20/01/2012 16:47

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 up?BlushGrin

diddl · 20/01/2012 16:50

Ooh sorry, it´s up!

CaveMum · 20/01/2012 16:51

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

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

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

LetUsPrey · 20/01/2012 16:59

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

LetUsPrey · 20/01/2012 17:02

Good grief .

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

CaveMum · 20/01/2012 17:11

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]

megcleary · 20/01/2012 17:15

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 · 20/01/2012 17:18

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

megcleary · 20/01/2012 17:27

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

CaveMum · 20/01/2012 17:39

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]

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 · 20/01/2012 17:45

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

SaltireOShanter · 20/01/2012 17:48

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

CaveMum · 20/01/2012 18:42

Back home now, so on the laptop. DH will be home shortly so I will end the evening with these:

The aforementioned picture [drools]

Saltire, judging by, and the amount of time she spends touching him, I think someone has beaten you that idea!

And finally, is just so sweet!

Right, that's me signing out for the evening. Hopefully we'll have recruited some more fans by tomorrow!
