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

[CaveMum]

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

I'll get us started with some personal favourites:

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

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

Can't wait to watch series 1 again, this time with a whole new outlook on BC

DH has taken the DC out so I have about an hour to myself. However, I've got to do stuff like wrap birthday presents for a DS1's going to, load the dishwasher, hoover, have breakfast, get dressed, etc. It's not fair. I need my Benedict fix.

I saw series 2 in tesco for £15, just seeing his pic on the box got me excited!

Eee! Series 1 has arrived! Can't wait for my BC fix, so so so yummy!

Series 2 cheaper on Amazon than that

DH went out to do the shopping so DS2 watched Cars 2 in another room (I could still see and hear him, I'm not completely neglectful) and I settled down to watch The Great Game. Then DH came home so I've about 20-30 minutes left.

That hour or so will just have to keep me going.

TeamDamon - do you mean the scenes with the main menu? I just went straight to the episode this morning. Too impatient!

If you just go to watch The Great Game (Season 1 Ep 3), it is the teaser before the opening credits which made me laugh last night - it was as if Sherlock were channelling the very best of MN as he interviews a criminal

I did look for a link on YouTube so as not to be quite so annoying but couldn't find it, and I am sure we all have our DVDs by now...

Where he keeps correcting him? Loved it.

Love that scene. Unfortunately it means that the bit in Episode 1 of the new series where Sherlock says 'So you sent John and I in' stands out like a sore thumb!

I'm going to have to watch series one again v soon to catch up on what you're all talking about!

Yes - the scene where he keeps correcting him - and by the end the poor bloke violent criminal was correcting himself just at the twitch of an impatient eyebrow from the lovely obviously secret MNetter BC

DesperateHousewife - I bet you can force yourself to do it just for the sake of the thread...

I'm having to watch Disney movies on Disney XD. Completely predictable and slightly yawny. I deserve to watch the last part of ep three for sitting through this stuff.

Not that I've been browsing YouTube. No, no.

teamdamon yeah I'm pretty sure I can make myself. Dh suggested we watch series 1 tonight if only he knew!

You have to use subliminal messaging on the OHs - casually drop a reference to Sherlock into the conversation once or twice a day.

Comments like "I read there are lots of little Sherlock-ian references hidden in the series. Wouldn't it be fun to try and spot them all!" can also work

I've made roughly 4 references to Sherlock/BC today alone. He's going to start suspecting soon.

We watched the trailer for war horse because I said I really wanted to see it. He didn't know BC was in it so asked if it was him and I had to try and hide my dreamy 'yes' response.

I just get this face from DH. Also, I find it difficult to mention the word Sherlock without smiling!

Been listening to the Casanova audiobook - oh my oh my OH MY!

And I've been watching the Have I Got News For You that he did. Mazing.

I need help. Do I watch Sherlock or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tonight? I'm leaning towards Tinker but unsure

That depends. Do you want to see BC looking lush in a suit or .... BC looking lush in a suit?

Hmmm both!! Actually I could have time for both. I watched episode 1 and 2 of series 1 last night. So just 3 to go.

Prey I listened to part if it this morning

Tinker also has Gary Oldman, although I would say he doesn't look quite as hot playing Smiley as he did playing Sirius Black in the Harry Potter films. You've a tough decision there. I think you should go with both.

The only, minor, problem I had with Tinker, Tailor is that I thought it resolved itself too quickly. There is so much set up to the reveal that I just thought it was rushed and happened too quickly, if that makes sense.
