Hope this meets with your approval. It was getting a bit full on the other thread so we've extended and now need to decorate the new space.

For the walls.

Just started watching Murder is Easy and couldn't help noticing that as BC rushes into church late and joins in with the hymn that he actually seems to be able to sing as well (gorgeous deep voice).

Dammit is there anything the man can't do? I'm not even put off by the fact that he smokes!

LadyClarice - in the slightly more ginger, longer hair guise, I like this.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 24/02/2012 12:22

fluffy, hubba hubba!

IAmSherlocked, I went to a Cabin Pressure recording at which the three male cast members sang, and can report that to my untrained ear at least Benedict has a wonderfully burnished and melodic baritone singing voice.

Also, Lara Pulver aka Irene Adler Tweeted a while ago that she and Benedict have talked about doing a musical (he wants to do City of Angels and put it on at the National Theatre, apparently).

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like some musicals, but find the genre as a whole a little bit toe-curling ...

Snippet of , from To The Ends Of The Earth.

Fluffymonster · 24/02/2012 12:29

Btw LadyClarice - wow, you've seen him do a recording of Cabin Pressure?? Very, very envious!!!

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 12:42

Some new pictures taken in LA yesterday. Poor love looks a bit tired!

Im sorry, that was my fault. We had a loooooong night Wink

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 24/02/2012 13:54

Ooooh, ta for the pictures! He does look knackered. However, I think thin, pale and slightly ill looks hot on him. Grin

Fluffy, yes! It was a hoot. The whole cast, and the producers, were lovely. Keep an eye on the writer John Finnemore's blog (sorry, in a hurry, no time to search and link) as there's a new series coming this year ? yay!

Saltire · 24/02/2012 14:12

Sorry if this has already been posted but I do like the pic Grin

NunTheWiser · 24/02/2012 14:26

Thanks to all of you for the links! He really is beautiful (in very sexy way).

It's also worth registering with the BBC so that you are notified when tickets are available for the new Cabin Pressure recordings. There is no guarantee that BC will definitely be in the show, but they are hopeful.

Saltire · 24/02/2012 14:39

I might register, since I'm going to be on my own for 6 months!!!!

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 24/02/2012 15:15

Grin already registered. I'm really hoping he stays true to his roots so to speak, and carry on doing radio/theatre etc.

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 15:47

SurferRosa · 24/02/2012 16:27

Saltire · 24/02/2012 16:31

Saltire · 24/02/2012 16:33

and now he's saying "oh my god mum you're 41, you are such an embarassment" as my "damm good shag" text alert went off Grin

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 17:05

Thanks for all the links. Just what I needed after today at work!

Re his ever-increasing talents, do you think he speaks French and/or Spanish and/or Italian? Let's just imagine that for a moment ...

I'm off to check YouTube.

DesperateHousewife21 · 24/02/2012 17:18

Feeling really shitty today so the pics and vids have helped cheer me up!

Just looking at him makes everything alright again Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 24/02/2012 17:24

I quite like to think of him speaking Russian.

Phwwwwwooargghh.

exexpat · 24/02/2012 17:27

LetUsPrey - well, he was singing in Italian in Fluffy's link earlier. And I'm sure that since he went to Harrow he'll have done French, Latin and probably at least one other language. I would rather like to hear him speaking Russian, myself.

exexpat · 24/02/2012 17:28

x-post with LadyClarice!

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 17:39

I missed a link???

How is that even possible? Back in a mo.
