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

You will want to lick the screen at TTSS. I just about managed to casually suggest it to DH during a trip to Blockbusters "nothing much here - oh this is supposed to be good isn't it?".

In my fantasy land, BC is entranced by my beauty, wit and intelligence. I am able to hold a normal conversation with him before being ravished. I do not blush, giggle like a fool or throw myself on him like a cheap suit.

CaveMum · 13/02/2012 16:12

It is tempting to lick the screen, and he certainly rocks those 70s suits!
This one in particular Grin

He's not on screen a whole lot, but I did have a chuckle when one of the other spies refers to his character as "chasing the local virgins" when talking about a new secretary. Ah if only!

Oh God yes. (wonders if an excuse can be found for a re-watch).

DesperateHousewife21 · 13/02/2012 17:01

Want to watch it now!

Feck me, he looks good in a suit.

In one of the clips last night on the BAFTAs of TTSS I'm sure it showed punching someone. A lot. It's wrong that I thought phwoar when he was doing that isn't it? I really don't like violence but ... phwoar.

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 13/02/2012 18:27

He was beating up Tom Hardy, it was probably the best bit of film that was a bit disappointing tbh....I would, however, give them both a dressing down for fighting, then lick them patch them up Grin

Sorry I don't post much...you guys are much better at finding you tube clips for me!!

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 13/02/2012 18:30

for those of you who like a man in uniform

and I love this

DesperateHousewife21 · 13/02/2012 18:30

Violence is not wrong when it's BC spanking me doing it.

Oh God, so glad someone else said it before I did.

One of Sherlock's sexiest moments for me is when he's going all alpha-male on the guy who attacked Mrs Hudson.

Sometimes violence can be very sexy.

The Pilot's uniform is almost identical to DH's RAF Uniform Wink

BTW, I highly recommend you listen to Cabin Pressure. BC being the obvious attraction, but it is very funny anyway.

Thanks to LadyClarice for pointing me to it Grin

IAmSherlocked · 13/02/2012 18:56

OK, ladies: I am about to test your love for BC to the utmost with Wink

It will make you laugh though Grin

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 13/02/2012 19:02

Did my first link not work? I've tried it again it it's not working for me...it was BC in his pilot's uniform Grin
I love cabin pressure, dh and I were listening to it last night as there was nothing in tv...it's v funny :)

DesperateHousewife21 · 13/02/2012 19:14

Starter for 10! He's still sexy playing a geek!

That pilot uniform though.... Wink

LetUsPrey · 13/02/2012 19:15

Loving the new pictures!

Dashing out now but will link to something when I get back.

Yep, still hot in the Starter for Ten clip. Actually, I've not seen Atonement but I understand he's a very creepy (understatement) character. I've seen the clip where he's telling the girl to bite the chocolate and I still thought fuck me. Wrong, so very wrong.

DesperateHousewife21 · 13/02/2012 19:21

Yes he's a real nasty character in that but it's nice to see he can do nasty and be taken seriously. Some good looking actors try to play a baddy and are crap at it because they still want to come across as sexy iyswim.

Love the pic of BC in the blue TTSS 70's suit - meeeowww.

Other half has started calling him The Big C. Hmmm. I may have to tone down the continuous youtube searches, reading of interviews, watching of Sherlock dvd, and drooling over photos when he's around. Blush

exexpat · 13/02/2012 20:40

DS (13) asked me yesterday about a certain theme he has noticed in our computer's recent youtube viewing history... Blush

Admit it, you were thinking it too!

CaveMum · 13/02/2012 21:35

We'll be needing a new thread in the next few days or so. Any volunteers to start it?

I thought perhaps we could include a reference to a role/film/tv show etc in the title. That way there's lots of options and plenty of opportunities for future threads!
