A rather long, but entertaining interview with BC

CaveMum · 07/05/2012 16:17

Darn, that link didn't work!

Trying again

LetUsPrey · 07/05/2012 17:18

Great interview, interesting questions, intelligent answers.

holmessweetholmes · 08/05/2012 09:27

Great interview, CaveMum. I just found this . Not only voted sexiest man in the world, but got more than double the votes of the second on the list! I wonder if he's seen it.

holmessweetholmes · 08/05/2012 14:48

Hellooooo! Where is everyone? Have you all expired due to excessive cumbersurfing?

CaveMum · 08/05/2012 17:49

Ah the power of the Cumberbatch [sighs] though part of me wishes he wasn't quite so listed after. Because obviously I'd have a better chance that way [deludes self] Wink

LetUsPrey · 08/05/2012 18:25

Sorry. PC at work has problems with some of the threads and this is one of them (stupid PC).

CaveMum - I know exactly what you mean about wishing fewer (less? fewer?) people fancied him. I see the comments on the blogs and YouTube and think "but how will he notice me amongst all these"? Grin

CaveMum · 08/05/2012 18:39

Oops, just spotted that my autocorrect changed "lusted" to "listed"!

You all know what I meant!

LetUsPrey · 08/05/2012 18:49

Yeah, spotted that CaveMum Grin. My iPod doesn't correct lusted. Wonder why?

exexpat · 08/05/2012 21:01

Speaking of autocorrect, twitter was full of the Washington Post's TV column apparently autocorrecting BC to Bandersnatch Cummerbund. But apparently it was deliberate - story here. In that case, why didn't they go for his school nickname, Bendydick Cumonmybaps?

Arrghh! Trying again!

Just because

LetUsPrey · 08/05/2012 23:09

Hair, face, biceps, forearms, hands, crotch ... It just gives and gives that picture.

How about this again?

CaveMum · 09/05/2012 07:08

Classic Gingerbatch Grin

Star Trek has wrapped. Simon Pegg tweeted 2 hours ago "Wind, reel and print. The countdown to May 2013 has begun."

LetUsPrey · 09/05/2012 08:19

"The countdown to May 2013 has begun". Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/05/2012 09:04

Am I the only one who doesn't like that blue-shirt-n-braces pic?

I don't think the blue suits him. The hair is too dark and obviously dyed, like Just for Men. The trousers and braces look dorkish. He looks a bit fat. I think he looks like a hayseed from The Waltons or something.

I quite like the braces ones, but definitely prefer the sharp-suited ones, or the black-tie ones . what I'm not so keen on is the gingerbatch ones, particularly with sideburns. Though obviously, I would have him any which way really. As it were Blush

CaveMum · 09/05/2012 17:52

Another interview complete with not one, but two new photos (of naughty smoking-batch, but we'll forgive him)

Here and here

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/05/2012 18:17

Like the interview, but have neither the interviewer nor the subeditor heard of consistent tenses?

OP posts:
holmessweetholmes · 09/05/2012 18:18

Good lord. Those photos are... well...

LetUsPrey · 09/05/2012 18:41

I think I like Gingerbatch the most as far as hair colour is concerned but am not going to say no if his hair's a different colour Smile. Love the blue shirt picture with the braces.

The interview was interesting. The smoking pics, particularly the first one, actually made me stop in my tracks (eating dinner).

holmessweetholmes · 09/05/2012 19:04

Exactly, LetUsPrey - am definitely not a fan of smoking. But...

CaveMum · 09/05/2012 21:05

Watching The Great Game for the umpteenth time. God I lurve the Purple Shirt of Sex!

Okay... special treat...

47 minutes on YouTube. BC, Sue Virtue and Steven Moffat doing the Q&A in NYC for Sherlock. Cancel your plans for tomorrow morning and listen to all the screaming.
