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]

May I join?

Am glad to see there are others who enjoyed Series 1 but it wasn't until Series 2 that you got that 'Hellooooooooooo Mr. Cumberbatch!' feeling. Am now rewatching Series 1 thinking 'How did I miss it? How?'

Can someone make me feel less weird, BTW - reassure me that it wasn't just me that melted when he got all protective and downright dangerous over the way Mrs Hudson was treated? Oh, to have a man who'd look after you like that...

But the cheekbones - the coat - the scarf - the eyes - the voice - the gorgeousness of the bromance with Watson.

Sherlock is on BBC4 in a mo BTW.

Ooooh more obsessives friends.

Now THAT will give me some happy dreams!

Now watch out for Sherlock and his coat collar, see if anyone else agrees!

The reference to rhodendendron ponticum has been bugging me. I've looked it up on good ol' Wikipedia but can't see anything significant. It does say that if ingested in high enough quantities it will cause a slow heart rate leading to a heart attack, but I can't see how that would help.

I've just found its all the main men in Sherlock but it is very good. When he falls on the sofa at 22 seconds is very nice.

CaveMum... I told you it's the air rushing through those curly locks that pushes his collar down as he falls!

Mr Cumberbatch and Mr Smith

Note to self, do not take laptop to bed when DP is away with work, bad things happen.

can anyone tell me if they know of any plans to show series 1 as i missed it!

Can't load your video from my phone for some reason kayzr

Look up "Sherlock Toxic" on YouTube for some more knicker-dampening action

CaveMum - I was watching that one round about the same time you posted. I've dug my headphones out so I can watch and listen on my iPod whilst sitting next to DH!

Let me see what else there is.

ellenjames - a colleague had said they were on BBC3 next week but I can't find them.

Kayzr - clip won't load for me either.

And just before sleepy time .

I'm sure I found a video with Go by Delilah on it but think I might be wrong.

Night all.

It won't load on my phone either. it's really nice!!

Did someone mention ?

I'm thinking: ipod, headphones, bed time...

Listen to the way he says 'pleasure', 'honey, 'paradise' and tell me you're not thinking the filthiest thoughts ever.

Is it a shocking indictment of me that my favourite word in that was "savage". [shudders, in a good way]

No scratch that, I'm going with "Pleasure Dome"

Damn you all - I am supposed to be marking and have spent hours Cumberbatch-surfing

Love this interview but damn the man, can't he have any faults?

Talks about being broody again - I'll have your babies, Benedict!

Twitter reports that BC has been cast as the lead in the film "Phoenix", opposite Liv Tyler (lucky cow).

More on the film here. Filming due to start in late Spring, after BC has finished on Star Trek.

I'd need more than a one night stand...

Spotted the thread and just had to mention...DH went to school with BC, both to prep school and after, and says he is/was also a very talented artist (painting, drawing whatnot). And that is about all I can add on this topic! Happy drooling.

He can paint/draw too? It's those hands I tell you. Those long, slender, artistic, expressive hands....

I do like a man who's good with his hands and I imagine (oh how I imagine) Benedict is very good with his hands.

Going to watch the clips now. Back in a mo.

By the way, anyone downloaded The Nightjar app? I've had it for ages. I'm rubbish at the game, I just listen.

And he seems to be a really nice guy too...

Got a phone number Afri???!

Just read the Guardian interview TeamDamon linked to. You know when you read an interview and you imagine the words in that person's voice? Put it this way, if he'd said "fuck" one more time, I might possibly have exploded!

And now I am insanely jealous
