This is from tumblr - the name of the blogger or poster wasn't on my screen so I can't quote them directly - didn't want anyone to see this though and think I was pinching it!

"You don?t decide to like Benedict Cumberbatch, it just happens. And one day you wake up to a cardboard cut out of him lying next to you and wonder how you got here"

IsSamNormansDad · 14/06/2012 00:14

Damn good shag text alert? Pray (prey?) tell me where I can get this pleeease?
Still loving all your links
Hope you all have lovely BC dreams

CaveMum · 14/06/2012 07:14

SamNorman, it is not available anywhere, you need to make it yourself. It's actually quite easy, you just need a YouTube video clip and instructions on how to make a text alert for your phone. Then google "convert YouTube video to audio" and follow instructions!

Prey, that quote is very, very true. I think it hit me half way through The Great Game back in 2010. Swiftly followed by "have I been blind?! Where have you been all my life?!"

When A Study in Pink was first on, I thought they've done an amazing job with this update of Sherlock - the writing, the acting, everything is perfect. Now I watch it and think how did I not see it? Smile

Here's the link to BC/Duck Sauce:

From WAYWB.

Love the picture, love the blogger's comments Grin

LetUsPrey · 14/06/2012 20:23

Interview here from TV Line. Big re the Sherlock questions and answers at the end! Grin

TheAddict · 14/06/2012 20:54

Well, after an appalling couple of days at work, two of the Addictlets returning to the nest until they find real work/somewhere to live, and a total absence of Youngest And Most Revolting Son, these links have cheered me up...

Nice interview with BC in yesterday's Mirror in which he seems totally bemused at his effect on the female of the species.

Pop round to Chez Addict, Benedict, and I'll not only explain why you are the Thinking Woman's Crumpet, but also demonstrate the effect you have on female hormones. Alternatively, as Weird Work Experience Idiot Colleague has now been sacked, we would be free from interruption if you'd prefer the stationery cupboard.

Or preferably both.

CaveMum · 14/06/2012 21:17

Hello Addict, haven't seen you for a bit. Has Minimus found a new victim girlfriend? Wink

So, who's going to start the new thread? We'll be needing one in the next few days.

Usual rules apply:
Must contain "Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society"
Must contain a reference to a tv programme/film/play/radio show BC has been in
Absolutely no mention of Cumberbitches

Anyone up for the challenge?!

LetUsPrey · 14/06/2012 21:21

I've got my next thread title prepared, but it's not my turn again yet because this is only the third thread! Anyone else - knock yourself out!

CaveMum · 14/06/2012 22:12

For those of you that are not following Cumberbatchweb, they have organised a charity fundraiser in honour of BC's birthday next month.
Fans are asked to make a donation to the Teenage Cancer Trust via this link, rather than spending money on cards, etc to be sent to BC's agent.

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 07:27

It's Men's Fashion Week and Spencer Hart have been dropping hints that a certain "well known friend of ours" will be modelling their new suits. Could it be? Can we dare to hope?! Show starts at 5pm and Spencer Hart will be tweeting backstage pictures.

Sqqquuueeee!

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 08:14

BTW, if you want to follow Spencer Hart on Twitter they are, originally enough, @Spencerhart.

They've promised extra backstage pics if #shshow trends at 5pm - the fact that they sent that message to Cumberbatchweb seems to be proof that BC is involved?

If anyone is in that there London, the show is at the Old Selfridges Hotel Wink

LetUsPrey · 15/06/2012 08:31

BC modelling Spencer Hart suits? He's going to look quite alright isn't he? Grin

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 09:10

Much as I adore casual-batch, the boy was born to wear a suit!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/06/2012 10:03

I'm sorry Prey but I think that beige picture is foul ... What were they thinking?

Lovely interview though. I'm puzzling over the 'I?m very still and content' comment. Far be it from me to try to tell someone they're wrong about themselves Grin, but often in interviews he comes across as having some of the elasticity and expressiveness that he attributes to Sherlock.

CaveMum, is Spencer Hart's Men's Fashion Week thing today?

OP posts:
CaveMum · 15/06/2012 12:01

The show is today at 5pm Clarice

[looks at watch]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/06/2012 12:02

Thanks!

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 14:06

GQ magazine have confirmed that BC will indeed be "walking" for Spencer Hart later today.

As an added bonus, GQ will be streaming the show live on their website!

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 14:41

Sorry all, false alarm. GQ will not be streaming the show [boo]

They will be putting up pictures on their website though.

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 15:11

Right, much searching has turned up this link, which is a live stream of all the collections at Men's Fashion Weekend.

Spencer Hart is scheduled for about 5pm.

What's the betting the Cumberbatch fans crash the link!

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 17:06

Ever feel like you are running round in circles?!

There will be no live stream, but GQ are filming the Spencer Hart show and will put the video up on their website later tonight. Hopefully Twitter will be awash with photos in the meantime Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/06/2012 17:06

Thanks! Haven't spotted him yet ...
