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.

That's fab seashells

I have to say that watching this he has a very good seat and lots of movement through his hips Wink

That is just, frankly, pornographic Grin

LetUsPrey · 22/03/2012 21:14

Did someone mention pornographic?

I ... I ... he ...

[looks at slightly catatonic Prey]

Did you like that then? [whistles nonchalantly]

[looks at clip again]

[definitely not looking at BC's face]

[faints]

LetUsPrey · 22/03/2012 21:46

His face was in the clip? I'm on my iPod and, to be honest, I couldn't fit everything on the screen. A choice had to be made.

Wow. Just wow. Is this setting a precedent for the new thread? rubs thighs fetches fire extinguisher in anticipation.

CaveMum · 22/03/2012 22:35

Oh I think we'll keep it tasteful like Surfer, but let's be honest: there have already been plenty of gratuitous arse pictures, so I hardly think a new precedent Wink

LetUsPrey · 22/03/2012 23:07

I've watched that clip on the laptop and can verify that yes, his face is there.

And I watched it a lot. Just to check you understand for the benefit of all in the BCAS. A lot.

On the War Horse theme, . I had to have the volume very low. It's all very interesting but around 2:28 or so is very very interesting. Wink

Love love love it! Grin

You can see why they thought Matt Smith could have been Sherlock, had they not already cast BC. For those that don't know, it was off the back of his audition for Watson that they invited Matt Smith to audition for the Dr.

See the best bit about my Cumberbatch-Tennant-Smith "thoughts" is that they are all actually mates Wink

sloppygirl · 23/03/2012 10:52

OMG LetUsPrey! Amazing scene. Really need a cold shower now!! Horses and BC. ( Going to faint...) Such a powerful and sensitive seat.. Should not be allowed!!

Loved the 'Behind the Scenes' SeaShells. I thought the bit of him carrying a young child was just adorable. Does anyone know where it comes from? He just looks so natural and at home with the child. My heart is melting...!!( The sexy bits were great too!).

My Sherlock DVD arrived yeterday. So that's the weekend sorted....

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 23/03/2012 10:54

Back to talking about his face, if I may ... Grin:

Is the bottom left out-take from the Observer shoot not just outrageously beautiful?

LetUsPrey · 23/03/2012 13:10

I didn't realise there was a "next page" at the bottom of those links!

The shots of BC carrying that child are just gorgeous! As you said sloppygirl, he looked very natural. Not all people do I'm looking at you younger sister of mine. Smile

And the out-take photos from the Observer shoot - have to say I'm not keen on the ones where he's wearing that jacket (don't like the jacket TBH), but the others and particularly the one LadyClarice pointed out are just simply marvellous.

He seems to have a very natural rhythm when he's riding, doesn't he? Grin

SurferRosa · 23/03/2012 17:18

Good to hear your DVD has arrived at last sloppygirl.

Lovely images of him carrying young child. Hope he gets his wish of becoming a father soon.

I like that Observer photo of him lying back waiting for me

sloppygirl · 24/03/2012 18:17

Been really frantic all day, and just getting a few mintues 'down time' with my BC catch up.

So pleased you thought the pictures with the young child were lovley,Surfer and LetUs Prey. I do so hope he becomes a dad soon, but that he finds the right lady too. ( Obviously, I am very much available should he feel the urge..).

About to settle down with Sherlock, Surfer. Bliss !!!

Just had to have another peak at the horse riding scenes before closing down... he seems to be a man who enjoys the feeling of power between his legs! ( horses, motor bike). I had better go now before it all gets too much....

LetUsPrey · 24/03/2012 23:58

And he seems more than able to control that power too doesn't he? Nudge nudge wink wink.

Been out treasure hunting and quizzing today/tonight. I came up with the team name Brainy Is The New Sexy! Didn't win though. There was also a name the cuddly toy thing with names pre-printed on a sheet. I chose Ben and Martin. Didn't win that either but it made me giggle.

I might try to squeeze in some Sherlock tomorrow - ooh matron. Grin

Laterz.

Everyone is out, the ironing board is up, and A Study In Pink awaits.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 25/03/2012 19:14

I ended up watching A Study In Pink with the commentary. Really enjoyed it, lots of fascinating bits and pieces. Then I started watching the episode itself but stopped it just after "What do people usually say?" "Piss off".

Might casually suggest to DH we watch an episode tonight. I'll even let him choose which one! Grin

OP posts:
CaveMum · 25/03/2012 20:34

How very gracious of you Prey Wink

I quite like watching with the commentaries, though I put the subtitles on so that I can still follow the episode. DH finds commentaries odd and distracting, which I can sort of understand, but the Sherlock ones are so interesting!

exexpat · 25/03/2012 20:36

Iwatched the first episode of The Last Enemy last night - it seems to be the one with all the rather steamy out-takes in one of the youtube videos.

Anyone else seen it? There are a few things about the plot that grate a bit, but it seems generally good so far. I hadn't realised that he is playing yet another hyper-intelligent mathematical type in it, which he does do much more convincingly than most actors.

And tomorrow is the release date for the DVDs of Fortysomething. I'm a bit of a Hugh Laurie fan too, so that was a definite buy for me.

LetUsPrey · 25/03/2012 23:04

My graciousness went untested as didn't get chance to suggest watching Sherlock.

BC as a geeky mathematician.

OP posts:
LadyClariceCannockMonty · 26/03/2012 10:00

I've only seen The Last Enemy in small YouTube segments, but I enjoyed it. It gets a bit over-complicated and silly, but is definitely decent-quality drama. Benedict is surprisingly sexy in it ? his character's personality, dress sense etc are not obvious phwoargh material, but there's something very very hot about him.

It's probably all the kissing/sex scenes. Smile

holmessweetholmes · 26/03/2012 10:05

Seashells - thanks for that 'behind the scenes' link - it's amaaazing, there are squillions of pics on there. I couldn't open it on my phone, so I've only just looked at it for a whole hour. Heaven...

LetUsPrey · 26/03/2012 13:25

Having seen so many photos, etc of BC as himself or in other things, it was a bit surprising to watch Sherlock yesterday and not really see him. Difficult to explain. I could obviously still tell it was him, but a very different him, which of course I realise is a main point of acting, but .... aarrggghhhh can't express it.

I still would though. Grin

OP posts:
CaveMum · 26/03/2012 14:03

Prey I'm waiting with bated breath if we get to see him (probably on The Hobbit DVD extras) in his motion-capture suit.
Skin tight Lycra is very unforgiving, but I'm still sure that I most definitely would!
