The riding crop doesn't do much for me but I am enjoying that picture. It's basically his sex face, isn't it?

Don't forget that BC is attending the LA premiere of The Avengers tonight. The red carpet will be screened online but there are no guarantees that BC will be featured.

Also, the Oliviers are being shown on the BBC red button on Sunday night. BC is up for best actor, but there's no word yet as to whether he will be present or not.

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2012 19:33

Oh oh oh oh oh oh I think my localish cinema is showing the Frankenstein thingy - both versions! I can't think of how to play this. Best friend wouldn't go bjecause she knows of my BC lust and is a bit rolly-eyed at it. I've no problem with going on my own but how to explain it to DH. Hmm

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2012 19:34

bjecause should be because.

Fluffymonster · 11/04/2012 21:09

Oooh...Third Star on BBC2 (or is it BBC2 Wales?) 9pm Sat 21st April??

So...TTEOTE, Hawking, Murder is Easy, Third Star - schedulers realising BC is pulling in the viewing figures then.

And even though I sort of gave up hope a while ago - turns out Frankenstein is coming to a local cinema near me after all. Yippeeeeeee!!! [jumping up and down emoticon].

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2012 21:30

Me too FluffyMonster! Whereabouts in the country are you if you don't mind me asking? Vaguely of course! I'm NW England. Would be funny if it was the same cinema!

[easily amused]

CaveMum · 11/04/2012 21:39

Just saw BC in the advert for Miss Marple on ITV3. I may have made a small "squeeee" noise Blush

I've just been scanning through John Finnemore's blog and found this post about the last episode of Cabin Pressure Series 3 - St Petersburg. If you haven't heard it yet, you may want to give the blog a miss in case of spoilers.

Fluffymonster · 11/04/2012 21:53

Prey - nah, unfortunately, I'm in Wales! Would've been quite funny though!

[easily amused too]

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2012 22:14

The BC lust love is spread all over the country obviously.

(Pologies - am a bit pished)

CaveMum - I now play yellow car every day! The St P ep is also fab. Smile

LetUsPrey · 12/04/2012 07:24

Reading on t'internet that BC wasn't at the Avengers premiere so no new pictures.

CaveMum · 12/04/2012 08:09

I'm in East Anglia so we just need someone in the South and Northern Ireland and we've got the country covered!

Boo to no sign of BC at the Avengers premiere. Do we think the cameras ignored him (Shock) or that he was a no show? I see in Twitter that Cumberbatchweb stayed up to watch the stream and said she'd look for photos in the morning, but she doesn't appear to be up yet!

sloppygirl · 12/04/2012 14:18

Hi All, sorry I have not been in touch, Traumatic week. Eye infection means that I have limited vision in one eye, hopefully temporary, but may last 4 weeks..! Having to limit reading and computer time..! ( Decided to go on here rather than work.), So much to cacth up on..

The Addict - hope you are feeling better. Not sure if anyone suggested it, but I hear that licking a wound /burn is very good. Could you write to BC and suggest it? would make you feel SO much better !! LetUsPrey. I am gonig to Frankenstein twice. Once with a girlfrind and wil have to keep myself in check, and once alone, so that I can enjoy it properly. Think I will, be safe alone in the dark, as cinema will be full of women like me!!

By the way, I live near London, so we have whole country covered. well maybe.

I will have to set recorder for Hawking, Third Star and Marple. Anyone know when the BC episode is on? I don't have SkyPlus.

Sorry about typos. Can't see keyboard that well!!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 12/04/2012 15:18

Oh, that's miserable, sloppy! Get well soon.

I'm going to Frankenstein twice too, but alone both times. Wouldn't dare invite anyone else along ? I couldn't take the scoffing/piss-ripping Grin.

I'm afraid I don't know when the Marple/Benedict episode is on, but if you're able to follow Twitter without compromising your eye I'm sure it'll be well advertised on there!

God, I hope Third Star is on on BBC Two in England and not just in Wales, but I fear the worst ... Fingers crossed though eh?

TheAddict · 12/04/2012 19:09

sloppy Sorry to hear (read??) about the eye infection: hope it clears up soon.

What a brilliant idea you have just had...

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

I fear that my last letter to you must have been lost in the post, as I have not received a reply.

Be that as it may, I am sure that it pains you to hear that, due to an unexpected televised appearance of your good self whilst I was wielding a steam iron, I now have a slight minor major (but not disfiguring) burns to my person.

I have it on the strongest medical authority that the best treatment for such an injury is a good licking.

In order to assuage your guilt over this incident, I am prepared to suggest that, in lieu of monetary damages, I am prepared to settle out of court in return for you providing the licking.

Must go, as I am encountering the greatest difficulty in ironing my bum.

Yours lustfully in hope

TheAddict

PS: Thursday suit you?

LetUsPrey · 12/04/2012 19:21

Poor Sloppy Sad. Take it easy.

I'll post when Murder Is Easy is to be shown if no one else has done it by then.

TheAddict - your letter made me Grin. I wonder if I wrote requesting a massage and other stuff, he'd oblige?

CaveMum · 12/04/2012 19:47

Addict, for that letter please have my very first ROFL and PMSL! Genius.

Grin
LetUsPrey · 12/04/2012 22:44

Called in at my mum's on the way home tonight - for a specific reason not connected with BC.

I walked in and her new copy of the Radio Times was on the table! The cover is phwoarworthy. I had a quick look through and then asked if she'd keep it for me because there's some stuff on the Romans and some maths things. Yeeessssss!

CaveMum · 12/04/2012 23:00

Result!

How have I not seen this picture before?! Now Benedict, justmivecthe paper a little to your right. Now up a bit. That's better Wink

CaveMum · 12/04/2012 23:00

just move

I can't get used to typing on this iPad yet [facepalm]

LetUsPrey · 12/04/2012 23:03

Don't know. I suspect that may not be an entirely genuine picture. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Congrats on the iPad!

TheAddict · 13/04/2012 09:01

TheAddict chokes on her toast, shakes crumbs out of the keyboard and remembers to hit 'Delete Browsing History' before the rest of the family use the computer. Grin

Think the photo is almost certainly photoshopped. Made my day though... Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 13/04/2012 14:24

No, it's real! I can't remember the details now, and, typically for when I need info, can't find anything about it on the web, but I remember reading about it. I may be making this up but I think it was a shoot for a bar or restaurant that has pics of slebs on the walls.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 13/04/2012 16:36

No idea if this link will work but it's an excerpt from a Telegraph article in 2008(?) and apparently it confirms the picture is genuine! I guess I'm just too cynical. Grin
