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

Is it wrong that I really quite like it when he punches someone?

LetUsPrey · 24/01/2012 19:22

I've a thriller video in mind that he can make! Grin

[sighs] the evilness of youtube [shakes fist at sky]

Just goes to show though, that once it's in the wild it takes on a life of its own.

I'm reporting Cavemum for photographs that are just unreasonable.

Cumberbatch and Tennant?

You truly awful person. I think I may have to have a piece of chocolate now.

Would you have any more of that ilk?

CaveMum · 24/01/2012 19:30

I'll ask HQ to take it down. No harm done.

Can anyone link to how I can make a text alert? I have an iphone so I am hoping I can do it.

stellarpunk · 24/01/2012 19:33

Thanks cavemum

CaveMum · 24/01/2012 19:47

Kayzr this is how I did it:

  1. Find the audio clip you want. I got mine off YouTube.
  2. For YouTube audio you'll need to convert it to an audio file using another website. I used www.listentoyoutube.com
  3. Once you've converted it open the file, it should automatically open in iTunes.
  4. Listen to the file and note down the timings of the clip you want (text alerts are better if you keep them to 4 seconds or less. The three I've got all come in at 3 seconds.
  5. Follow the steps on this website

Hey presto!

If you have trouble converting the file to a .m4r file, follow the steps on this thread

TwoIfBySea - have a look at the links in my posts from Saturday 21st at 18:13 and 19:23 (I think). Warning: you're going to need a bigger bar of chocolate.

TwoIfBySea · 24/01/2012 20:32

I may be in favour of cloning if I can have one of these.

God I'm shameless!

CaveMum · 24/01/2012 20:48

I'm on my phone again so can't do YouTube links but search for "Irene + Sherlock bringing sexyback". Very well done and includes Sherlock on his sheet Grin

CaveMum - I do links on my iPod Touch. It's a bit of a faff. On YouTube after you've watched the clip, click share video and then mail link.

Email it to yourself, open your email on you iPhone, press and hold link until it brings up an option to copy, then paste into your post by pressing and holding again until it gives option to paste.

It took longer to go through the instructions than it takes to do a link.

See I ddidn't bother doing any of the stuff cavemum suggested - I just said to DH "this clip, I'd like it as a text alert please" and he did it all for me

I want an iPhone

My mobile is quite nice and has t'internet and stuff but I don't think I can get a sound clip like that on to my 'phone. It's an Orange RioII.

Might try on Saturday morning when DH is out. The more likely option is that I'll be watching another Sherlock episode.

LetUsPrey · 24/01/2012 22:26

On the Sherlock/Irene clip, I can't get past in my head the thought of standing over a more or less powerless Sherlock/BC with a riding crop ....

Oh. My. Word.

Every time I see the ad on tv, I stare longingly at the screen. I mean it has so many useful features and I could watch YouTube clips at work.

SaltireOShanter · 25/01/2012 08:25

I don't have an iphone either, it's a nokia something or other

LetUsPrey · 25/01/2012 08:28

I shall have a go at this then at the weekend. Hopefully by Monday my text alert will say "right, we'll start with the riding crop"!

CaveMum · 25/01/2012 10:04

Blu-Rays have arrived!!!! Yay!
