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

Kayzr · 01/02/2012 19:18

EYES

Right I will stop taking up the thread and learn to post all my links in one post.

SherlocksShockBlanket · 01/02/2012 19:22

Oh good lord the eyes!! I am supposed to be doing some ironing tonight but I think I'll give it a miss and indulge in some BC letching instead!

MissWooWoo · 01/02/2012 19:25

LetUsPrey · 01/02/2012 19:34

Hello SherlocksShockBlanket. That was one of my favourite parts from A Study In Pink when says "I'm in shock. Look I've got a blanket" and waves a corner of the blanket!

Oh my god! I'm watching The Great Game with commentary and Mark Gattis has just said that the swimming pool they used is in Bedminster in Bristol. I feckin learnt to swim at that pool!

How did I not notice that before???? I hated those changing rooms, so much risk of flashing your arse at the whole pool!

Ooo cavemum that's exciting!

CaveMum · 01/02/2012 20:50

Now, when I meet BC I have something in common to chat about!

That pool is 10 mins walk from my parents house. Grr, why was I not visiting them when filming was going on??!!

Oooh CaveMum that's like practically meeting him!

There's an interview he did that another poster referred to ages ago where he talks about the places he likes to go in London. He also talks about what music he likes and everything he mentions is stuff I really like and have had on my iPod for ages. We're soooo well-matched. Similar height and build, same taste in music, and I'm sure there's loads of other stuff. Tis fate I tell you, fate.

CaveMum · 01/02/2012 21:15

Ooo, point me in the direction of that interview Prey!

I wonder if he's the sort to frequent (I think it's called) Gordon's bar near Embankment. DH's uncle lives in London and his wife knows all these amazing trendy places to eat/drink. Gordon's is a bar in an old wine cellar next to the Thames. They only serve wine and part of the seating area has no electricity so you sit at candlelit tables. It used to be one if those places that only locals know about, but then it appeared in a few guide books and now whenever we visit DH's uncle and go there it is rammed!

Here you go CaveMum.

I shall have to engineer a visit to see my little sister because I miss her now that she lives in that there London but it'll wait until BC is back in the country.

CaveMum · 01/02/2012 21:50

Ta Prey. I'm not familiar with Londinium, so none of those places sound familiar to me. The general hint I get is hang around in Hampstead!
