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

Not seen Tinker. It should be on Sky soon. I'm looking forward to watching the Sherlock episodes with the commentaries on them.

DesperateHousewife21 · 28/01/2012 19:09

I haven't seen Tinker, Tailor yet. Might have to get it out on blockbuster.

I love that he's in so much atm so we can get out lovely BC fixes all the time!

LetUsPrey I was just thinking that!! I watched bedtime story on cbeebies and I would love him to do that.

DesperateHousewife21 · 28/01/2012 19:42

He can read ME a story anytime he likes, I'm a much better listener than ds!

Series one ep one just starting, even seeing him on screen gives me the jitters! So beautiful.

LetUsPrey · 28/01/2012 19:45

DH has spotted that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is on tonight. Can we record to watch after the DC are in bed?

So, there's no BC for me tonight (except in my head!). I have to watch Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow instead. Will this torture never end? Grin

DesperateHousewife21 · 28/01/2012 19:53

Oooh that wink

CaveMum · 28/01/2012 20:06

DH has just said "There's nothing good on tv tonight. Shall we watch another Sherlock?"

My reply: "Ok dear, if that's what you want to watch."

Brainwashed DH - check Grin

Haha nice!

I forgot how funny some of the lines are in this. God I love his lips and when he smiles.
He's laughing with Watson so gorgeous.

warmandwooly · 28/01/2012 21:04

Just saying..The Daily Mail have a token collect offer at the month for the fidt Series of Sherlock.....to drool over remind you of the genius that is Sherlock

Kayzr · 28/01/2012 21:07

Hmmm is it bad that watching BC punch people is good?

CaveMum · 28/01/2012 21:09

I read on Twitter that it's actually cheaper to by the Series 1 DVD from Amazon (£5) than go with the Daily Mail offer Grin

Plus it's very hypocritical (surprise, surprise) of the Daily Fail to attempt to cash in on the Sherlock Phenomenon considering how much fuss they made about Lara Pulver getting nekkid Wink

Lecture over! Grin

Kayzr · 28/01/2012 21:10

It's only £4.99 and with free delivery on Amazon cheaper than Daily Fail and means not buying that newspaper!!

LetUsPrey · 28/01/2012 21:27

kayzr I'm with you on liking it when he punches someone. Which is wrong I suppose but it's so fecking sexy.

perplexedpirate · 28/01/2012 21:34

I'm watching season 1, episode 3.
Is it weird that all the grammar correction made me reeeeallllyy like him.
In a special way. Wink

perplexedpirate · 28/01/2012 21:36

Actually, if mark Gatiss ever fancied a change I totally would.
A Holmes brother sandwich...

Kayzr · 28/01/2012 21:42
Grin

Most pictures I've seen of Mark Gatiss show him happy and smiling. Not at all Mycroft like.

DesperateHousewife21 · 28/01/2012 21:50

I've added tinker, tailor to the blockbuster list. Dh is bound to see a recurring theme soon!

LetUsPrey · 28/01/2012 22:38

We're about 30 minutes into Pirates and TBH it's a bit crap. Only another 1hr 40 or so to go. Think I might go to bed before it finishes.

To think, I could be watching Sherlock.

DesperateHousewife21 · 29/01/2012 10:59

Are we all off dreaming of BC? Can't wait to watch the rest of the series

LetUsPrey · 29/01/2012 13:40

Went through the links on the thread last night to get my fix.

Spent a very enjoyable time on the Sherlockology website this morning. Vair well put together and really interesting.

DH is going out soon with the DC to his mum's which is when I usually do my ironing. I shall be ironing whilst watching Sherlock.

I'm currently watching the tennis. They've been playing for nearly five hours. Such stamina and staying power.

exexpat · 29/01/2012 15:33

For a pretty comprehensive Benedict fix, you just have to find the Romangirl88 channel on Youtube, also searchable as 'Benedict Cumberbatch Crumpet'. 324 videos last time I looked. Her twitter feed is full of him too. Hope you've got a few days to spare...

CaveMum · 29/01/2012 15:38

The Sherlockology website and Cumberbatchweb are both very good. There are hundreds of photos on then, you could get lost for hours Grin

LetUsPrey · 29/01/2012 15:50

Loved all the bits on Sherlockology about wardrobe and props, etc.

Finished The Great Game, now watching A Scandal In Belgravia. Did start watching the one with the commentary but I was getting a bit fed up as there wasn't enough commentary for me about the actual scenes as they were happening.

LetUsPrey · 29/01/2012 15:53

Just got to the Christmas party where he's analysing Molly and her present. Crrrriiiinnnnggggge.
