And on it goes ...

We may have had already, but I felt like watching and posting it again. SOooooooo adorable.

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

Unfortunately I am going to have to rescind your invitation to Lower Peasmold's Wedding Of The Year 2013.

Whilst I am sure that your presence would add a little much-needed dignity to the otherwise outrageously camp proceedings, I cannot guarantee that my son-in-law elect would be able to keep his hands off you, and I have no desire to see my beloved son jilted at the altar.

I am equally concerned for your own safety.

Normal service will be resumed just as soon as I ascertain what normality actually is.

In the meantime, I enclose a recent photograph of myself wearing a bikini, wellies and a rainhat. You may care to throw darts at it.

Yours in lust

Just a reminder, ladies, that tonight is the night for the divine Mr C in 'Murder is Easy': 5.55 - 8.00 on ITV3.

Counting the minutes till then...

LetUsPrey · 05/05/2012 12:58

I have it set to record. BC on a motorbike. Deserving of a phwoar I think

TheAddict · 05/05/2012 17:20

Phwoah indeed!

Primus is not a fan of Miss Marple. SO and I outvote him 2:1. Miss Marple it is.

LetUsPrey · 06/05/2012 13:26

I am alone. I have ironing. I am watching Marple. This --> Grin is me.

Parade's End news

[apologies for Daily Fail link]

LetUsPrey · 06/05/2012 14:39

Good grief - he's being all clever and deductive. And singing.

CaveMum · 06/05/2012 14:49

I notice that there is a new Jaguar advert being premiered on Channel 4 this evening during Homeland. I presume BC will be voicing it.

LetUsPrey · 06/05/2012 15:00

Hmm supposed to be quite good that Homeland isn't it? Might record it. You know, just to see what all the fuss is about. Wink

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 06/05/2012 15:23

'autumn'. [weeping emoticon]

Bit annoyed that it says 'Bafta winner Rebecca Hall' but not 'Olivier winner BC'. Although that has made me think ? I haven't read any comments from him on winning the Olivier, has anyone else? I'd imagine/hope that he'd be over the moon about it.

[sigh]

BC actually tweeted earlier, via Simon Pegg's Twitter account. The message said something like "This is Benedict. I really hope you all enjoy Sherlock tonight on PBS"

LetUsPrey · 06/05/2012 21:39

How is it that the words "This is Benedict" are just so so [sigh] and a little bit squeee?

Very much enjoyed watching him in Marple earlier today. He was rather wonderful. [sigh again]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 06/05/2012 22:33

Love how Simon Pegg looks like death warmed up but Benedict looks quite chipper. Grin

I will never look at my Sugar Puffs healthy and nutritious breakfast in the same way again. "Mum, why are you smiling at your breakfast?" "No reason, no reason at all (sigh)"

CaveMum · 06/05/2012 23:00

He wouldn't have the energy for breakfast if I'd had my way Wink

[Cavey's been at the Wine]

CaveMum · 06/05/2012 23:04

Have you seen the other BC photo that Simon Pegg has tweeted?

Called "Andy Angel and Sherlock simultaneously realise who the murderer is"

CaveMum · 06/05/2012 23:06

Naturally I meant "Nicholas Angel" Blush

[blames the Wine]

exexpat · 06/05/2012 23:17

Pegg and Cumberbatch were out with Zachary Quinto last night.

For this photo, I can almost overlook the fact that they were watching boxing on TV in a branch of Hooters Shock.

I am sure it was an ironic gesture (two Brits and a gay man doing the all-American bloke thing) and/or research for upcoming roles.

LetUsPrey · 07/05/2012 07:39

Yes, saw the Hooters reference but my eyes sort of slid over it. Blush

Hope he's home soon.

LetUsPrey · 07/05/2012 07:43

Saw the Nick Angel and Sherlock pic last night too, but DH was around so I couldn't mess around with links on the sometime slow laptop.

CaveMum · 07/05/2012 08:25

[feeling surprisingly chirpy this morning]

DH assures me (Hmm) that there is nothing dodgy about Hooters, just serving girls in shorts and t-shirts. To quote "no hooters on display".

CaveMum · 07/05/2012 08:28

I'm presuming that BC was also in this car as tweeted by Zachary Quinto: "Grandma Simon Pegg drives us to SF while Grandma Pine sits shotgun"

CaveMum · 07/05/2012 08:56

[faints]

Have you seen this picture from a fan in California.

I'm trying very hard not to stare at his crotch Blush

LetUsPrey · 07/05/2012 09:16

That picture is on the What Are You Wearing Benedict blog. I was very Envy. I also made no effort whatsoever not to stare at his crotch Grin
