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]

Share/comment away

Thank you all for the links. I don't do celebrity crushes, but... oh my goodness. And I'm right with those of you who said you didn't get it until the second series. Were we blind, or what?

LetUsPrey I am really glad that someone else imagines him saying "fuck".

He's a posh boy - he'll be utter filth

[drifts off into a day dream]

Aw, exexpat - just read your link! Why does he have to be so perfect? - this is not helping the obsession admiration to die down to more manageable proportions!

This article is good on the chemistry between BC and MF - which is one of my favourite things about the show.

Er - at the risk of no-one on this thread ever being able to do any work again, has everyone found this channel on YouTube which is entirely devoted to BC...

kayzr

TeamDamon - I'm sure that will pass many happy hours of an evening. YouTube is blocked at my work which, on balance, is probably A Good Thing.

Thanks TeamDemon, that's my evening sorted once DH has got on the road to head back to work for the week.

I also intend to spend some time teaching myself (via t'interweb) how to make my own text alerts for my iPhone a la Saltire, though I don't think I'm brave enough to have "a damn good shag" going off everyone I get a text

I did think about asking how to get "damn good shag" as a text alert but it would take some explaining, eg just been to my mum's and got two texts whilst I was there! I can do without the grief.

However, if I could choose something as a text alert from Sherlock, it would probably be "Right, we'll start with the riding crop".

Text alerts - okay he writes it as a text message and doesn't say it, but how about "Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient come anyway."

givemushypeasachance - that will keep me giggling all night. DH already asked what I was smiling at when I was reading kayzr's recent post and typing my reply so I'll have to have an answer ready!

Did someone mention the riding crop? I'm about to lose another hour of my life browsing this website now...

Happy to have found this thread!
BC is delicious. I love Sherlock and he was such a bad boy in Atonement, albeit briefly.

I will not buy one. I will not buy one. I will not buy one.

Ew, don't mention Atonement...

In his defence, on the commentary, Joe Wright said how uncomfortable BC was playing that role, to the extent that the actress playing Lola was more supportive of him having to portray the abuser than he needed to be of her playing the victim. Wright also pointed out how utterly unlike BC the character was - saying that BC is very gentle and a gentleman.

Sigh....

I've just ordered Season 2 from Amazon!

He he, as a horsey girl I've already got plenty of riding crops, of varying sizes
I can confirm BC has a very good whip action [fans self]

"Gentle and a gentleman" but probably an animal in the sack

I am leaning towards using "The game, Mrs Hudson, is on!" as my text alert, but may create a few just do I can vary it a bit

You know the "For Your Entertainment" clip with the "damn good shag" in it? Well, I think I may have crossed the line into SadLand

I've downloaded the track from that clip . To be honest it's quite good with some interesting lyrics, especially if you put them together with BC.

Another text alert "What do you need?" "You".

I love the T-Shirts. I wonder if they do a maternity one???

I would love either "What do you need?" "You" or "damn good shag" as a text alert!!

How does one create a text alert?

LetUsPrey - I think the line I crossed into disturbing obsessive is equally faaaaaaar beyond the horizon now. I realised this when I read an interview which said whereabouts he lived and the kinds of places he liked going in London and found myself idly wondering what the chances were of bumping into him in said places...

Would buying thisbe wrong?

I was slightly amused by the knickers and thongs that say "I am Sherlocked"

Ermmmmm!!!!! I don't know if I should link to it or not but I was just trailing through Youtube as you do and came across a video. Of errmmm BC in a sex sort of scene!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS FANTASTIC!!!!
