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

Is it too early in the evening to say that that position he's in, with his head back like that and leaning back on the sofa, lends itself to the imagining of myself facing him, astride him?

Also, I have The Nightjar app on my iPod. I've had it for ages and I still can't complete it. Oooh, here's an idea. I obviously need BC to visit and show me what to do. He can help me with The Nightjar app too. Ba-doom-tish. Grin

Just wonered if I have missed something..listened to Cabin Pressure tonight. Radio 4.BC is not playing Martin. I thought it was a repeat, but does anyone know if it is the new series, and he is not in it..obviously because he has not been in UK..
Sorry if I have misse a post about this, but can someone let me know if we will hear BC as Martin in a new series?

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 07:13

sloppy don't panic! It is not the new series! BC was ill (caught flu while filming Sherlock IIRC) so missed the recording of Newcastle. He returned for the remaining episodes.

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 07:14

Oops, posted too soon. New series is still being written and John Finnemore's has hinted that BC will be in it, but it's all schedule dependent, which to me means autumn at the earliest.

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 08:12

You can hear his voice is a bit croaky in the surrounding episodes. Listened to Limerick again on the way home yesterday and Ipswich the day before that. Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/05/2012 09:07

Acksherly , the flu thing was pneumonia and was ages ago, during the filming of the first series of Sherlock.

BC missed that episode of Cabin Pressure because he lost his voice. It was while he was in Frankenstein at the National Theatre and he was obviously trying to do too much. He had to miss a couple of performances of Frankenstein because of it too.

Since it's nearly Jubilee weekend, I thought this was rather funny: Sherlock at the palace.

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 19:29

I am totally photoshopping myself into the middle of this picture

sloppygirl · 30/05/2012 19:50

Thanks CaveMum and LadyClarice...so glad he may still be in it..may get to see him....( faints away..) Will listen next week...

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 20:11

Time to post again, I feel Grin

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 21:09

F**k me

Twice

Wink
LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 21:16

And f**k (if we're being polite and sober) me thrice.

I nearly dropped my iPod. I am very much looking forward to seeing that picture on a bigger screen Grin

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 21:18

FFS and sober although that probably means its time for a drink Grin

TheAddict · 30/05/2012 21:30

Only thrice??

F* me, Benedict.

Now.

Please?

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 21:46

Seen it before, but those shorts [faints]

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 21:54

Without clicking on the link CaveMum is the stone coloured pair? It is isn't it? Grin

I'm off for a good old click.

And the thrice was merely for poetic purposes. There isn't a number high enough. Grin

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 21:55

Is it the stone coloured pair? FGS

CaveMum · 30/05/2012 21:57

Ditto for the "twice" Prey, and yes it is the stone coloured shorts.

Does he realise how, er, tight they look?! Not that I'm complaining!

LetUsPrey · 30/05/2012 22:20

It's not just those shorts though is it? I've noticed - accidentally of course, just with a glance, not deliberately staring or anything - his physique quite often.

And his feet do seem on the large side Wink

CaveMum · 31/05/2012 19:39

Sweet story here

sloppygirl · 31/05/2012 20:02

Just wondered, ( on the posts about his dress sense ) if anyone saw THESE !
www.benedictcumberbatch.co.uk/benedict-cumberbatch-at-the-5/
He OBVIOUSLY needs me to dress.( and undress..) him. I was at the Rock Gala that night, but I can not believe I was in the same room as him..with 3500 others ! Only found out he was there afterwards..

I have voted CaveMum. Thanks for posting link.

sloppygirl · 31/05/2012 20:08

Have posted link again, but I don't think it is working..Just google BC at princes trust rock gala and you will see what I mean.. ( WARNING. It is not pretty..)

LetUsPrey · 31/05/2012 20:18

Awwwww!

If Simon Pegg is to be believed, BC is not playing Khan in the ST film. If.

LetUsPrey · 31/05/2012 20:26

I think that's The Hat that WAYWB hates so much. We need an antidote. Back in a bit.

LetUsPrey · 31/05/2012 20:30

Better yes?
