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

Thank you!

Woof!

I found this quote online, from the man himself:

?I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers. But I?m here to tell you I?m quite the opposite in real life. In fact I?m a fucking fantastic lover.?
---Benedict Cumberbatch

I can well believe it Grin!!!

Anyway, I now have three new tone alerts:

"A damn good shag"

"The game, Mrs Hudson, is on"

and "We'll start with the riding crop" Grin

It's very easy acksherly, found all the instructions online.

Just need to transfer them across to my iphone to get them all set.

It seems Martin Freeman is a bit of a smoothy too! A quote from his partner Amanda Abbington on the first time she met him:

"At that minute Martin walked in and I just had a thunderbolt. It dawned on me: "Oh, God it?s him!" We flirted with each other all day and when I went home he texted me, saying "You left and I wasn?t done flirting with you. That?s a bit rude", which I thought was really smooth."

His role in Atonement is uncomfortable to watch but at least he can play a bad boy.
I'd like to see more of him that way, he wouldn't have to play soft and gentle to please me. I'm a big girl, I can take it. I can take all of it Grin

Ample · 22/01/2012 21:53

Good lord! The youtube sex clip of him is erm, well I'm speechless really.

CaveMum · 22/01/2012 22:21

Right, last link before I go to bed.

I know this is a BC thread, but hey, my thread = my rules [sticks out tongue]
I found for Moriarty. It made me Grin

Night all, sweet Cumberbatch-filled dreams!

CaveMum · 22/01/2012 22:31

Back again!

LetUsPrey, is the full version of BC helping cook on the Beeb.

Right, I am going to bed now!

OP posts:
CaveMum · 22/01/2012 22:39

Damn you YouTube!

Right, last one I promise Wink

is BC meeting fans after a screening of Sherlock in December last year. He's just so nice! He takes time to talk to everyone and when people ask for photos he puts his arm round them [sighs] and Envy

Not surprisingly I'd seen the sex scenes clip before - fancy that - but without the weird red grainy effects going on. I had to watch the link all the way through though just to make absolutely sure. Wink

I'll watch the other clips tomorrow.

Ample - completely agree to him playing a bad boy. I know he's going to be a baddie in the new Star Trek film but that's not quite what we're after I don't think!

I shall settle down to sleep with the words "In fact I'm a fucking fantastic lover" floating around in my head! I think I shall need personal one-on-one confirmation and physical proof of that statement from Mr Benedict Cumberbatch. I insist. Grin

Well it's not really a scientific test unless you repeat it several times to see if you get the same results.

Reluctantly, I therefore put myself forward to take part. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make Wink

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 23/01/2012 07:38

We're such martyrs. Sadly, such proof-gathering is likely to take a looooong time so you might have a bit of a wait and he'll be exhausted. Grin

Kayzr · 23/01/2012 07:47

I'll also help to see if he is as good as he says he is.

I woke up at half 3 and couldn't sleep. I ended up watching through all the YouTube videos. Eventually fell asleep watching him about 5ish. Dreams are good Grin

CaveMum · 23/01/2012 10:26

Whoop whoop! I've had my "order dispatched" email from Amazon for my Blu-Ray box set Grin. Though I'm a cheapskate and opted for Free Delivery rather than pay for it to be here next day Blush

You joke about Cumberbatch-filled dreams but I did actually dream about him last night after reading through this thread!! Not sure whether to feel embarrassed or just pleased :)

LetUsPrey · 23/01/2012 12:25

Squeeeee! My blu ray box set of Sherlock has arrived. I got it delivered to work.

CaveMum · 23/01/2012 12:38

[sulks] How come mine's only just been dispatched then??!!

I downloaded all the "Cabin Pressure" episodes last night and lay in bed listening to one. Twas very pleasant indeed.
