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.

still my fav pic ever

SurferRosa · 15/02/2012 09:56

Love the new thread. I've just had a very nice time going through the links, although none of my own sorry.

IAmSherlocked · 15/02/2012 10:26

Have we re-posted yet?

Love the slo-mo and of course the violence gets me hot Blush

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/02/2012 10:59

Thanks for the new thread!

Just marking my place ? nothing to add really. Oh, except, for anyone in London, the V&A are showing a recording of Benedict in Hedda Gabler some years ago, in which he starred with the fantastic Eve Best. Info on the V&A website is v sketchy but there's a PDF on the web. I don't know how or if you can do a link to a PDF, so just google 'Hedda Gabler V&A' and you'll see one called 'Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the National Video Archive'.

Hello all. De-lurking to post . Lovely.

holmessweetholmes · 15/02/2012 11:54

It's a very short clip, but the cane and the slightly shy smile definitely do it for me. Thanks for the new thread btw. I had been trying to resist the temptation to post, but as dh looked at me slightly accusingly yesterday and said I was a cumberbitch, I see no point in remaining in denial!

IAmSherlocked · 15/02/2012 12:14

Oh my God -

I love it when he laughs.

LetUsPrey · 15/02/2012 12:26

A good point well made DesperateHousewife. To be fair, I was assuming The Sex would be with your DP/DH (sorry can't keep track of who's got what!).

If it was BC, then true, it would most be a case of The Sex first, then ... The Sex, then More Sex, etc.

The YouTube clips give me something to look forward to after work. Other than seeing my lovely family of course. Grin

Not sure what "it would most be a case of ..." means. Think it was supposed to be "it would be a case of ..."

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/02/2012 12:31

It was with dh, not BC unfortunately Grin only joking! kind of

LetUsPrey · 15/02/2012 12:55

I have absolutely no idea what you mean DesperateHousewife. None at all.

OP posts:
IAmSherlocked · 15/02/2012 14:56

I have never thought of BC in that way at an inappropriate moment. Oh no.

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/02/2012 15:08

So that's a yes then Grin Wink

megcleary · 15/02/2012 15:52

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/02/2012 17:18

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/02/2012 17:30

That vid is so good! It's made me love him more and woooooo!! Sherlock back in our lives in the Autumn!

Oh that voice!

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/02/2012 17:30

Ahem...sexual

Fluffymonster · 15/02/2012 18:01

Helloooo! Sorry been away, other half took over pc last night and this is the first chance I've had to drop into this new thread and get my Cumberbatch fix. Good job, on the title Prey!

Corrr...looking at the drawings link Leonie. What an amazing talent, wish I could rustle up something like that in "2-3 hours". Brilliant.

So Benedict came top in that radio times Valentine poll in the end - 12,141 votes with over 40% of all the votes - seems lots of people would like to have him for dinner!

Anyway - my new-thread contribution.

Benedict in a Suit - Esquire Photoshoot

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/02/2012 18:04

Sorry Fluffy, but I've always thought that photoshoot was really odd and unflattering. The trousers are too short and the jacket is hanging weirdly and looks too big for him. His hair is appalling (and I LIKE him with messy hair, but there are limits). The stance is awkward. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=benedict+cumberbatch+in+a+suit&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=KeP&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=966&bih=1150&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnso&tbnid=boSWM82pUu5m8M:&imgrefurl=geeksyndicate.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/could-sherlock-and-smaug-be-the-star-trek-2-villain/&docid=pl1euCcCkG5OiM&imgurl=geeksyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/benedict_cumberbatch_59500a.jpg&w=580&h=350&ei=mfM7T8OGIYuf8gOhpJXuCg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=821&sig=100905212096207828663&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=217&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&tx=187&ty=64" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here's how to wear and shoot a suit.

Fluffymonster · 15/02/2012 18:10

OK - Just had a quick browse through some more of the links (esp. Holmesweetholmes, IamSherlocked, and SeaShells) and OMG this thread totally rocks already!

Thank you, thank you!!!

LadyClarice - must admit I posted that in a hurry as didn't want to rock up and not contribute lol. So it was the first one I saw just now - I think he still looks lovely, but yes the suit doesn't fit him as well as it might.

Had I known the calibre of posts I'd have tried harder - I hang my head in shame! Grin
