The Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: Never Mind Parade's End, When Will It Begin???

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

And on it goes ...

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

Where the jeff is everyone?

All tooooo mys-e-elf, I've got BC, all tooo mys-e-elf, at last.

Term started - I am now back at work being a Professional and Responsible English Teacher and not at all spending time wondering how I can build BC reading Ode to a Nightingale into a lesson plan

or wondering why the fuckety fuck I didn't choose Frankenstein as the L6 set text this year so I could legitimately stick BC's picture up all round my classroom

Don't forget - Hawkng tonight on BBC4! Set your tv-box-thingy

Poo. Meant to check whether the listing had sorted itself out. Can't do it now as I am already in bed (bit poorly) and DH is downstairs. Fingers crossed. Might be on iPlayer later I suppose.

I'd have thought it will be on iplayer.

On other matters, and I in no way mean to trivialise what happened, but did anyone else see the piece on the news about the plane making an emergency landing at Gatwick due to smoke in the cabin instantly think "Douglas"?!

I am an awful human being

CaveMum

You have no idea how relieved I was to hear that it wasn't just me: I actually called out 'Captain, can you smell smoke?'

We're both going to hell

Missed that on the news but I would have definitely been thinking "Douglas".

Listened to Ottery St Mary/Weasels King Henry again yesterday.

Hawking recorded! Hurrah! And the Marple thingy is on Sundays but the BC isn't this coming Sunday. I shall keep an eye out for it though.

Are you feeling better today Prey?

Blast... OH must have finally realised my obsession with BC; he said he'd set the recorder for 'Hawking' but it hasn't recorded...

Mutter mutter...

Getting there thanks CaveMum. Could do with Doctor Benedict.

Maybe he just forgot to set it TheAddict?

Morning!

Old photoshoot, but I for one hadn't seen all of the photos before.

Numbers three and six are particularly gorgeous.

I shall have to wait until I get home to see them. My work pc does not like that link.

(I'm actually feeling more bettererer but shhh don't tell Doctor BC)

Hi all!

Saw part of Hawking last night before I had to go to bed - loved it! Can't wait to see the rest!

Am so pleased to see that all the "usual suspects" are still here... we have to keep ourselves busy until some new stuff comes out!

Have Hawking recorded. Can't wait to watch it. Don't know whether to suggest watching it with DP (he likes Benedict in an 'admires his work' way but resents my lustful obsession interest in him as a person and often can't refrain from snarky comments about Benedict's hair/clothes/general appearance) or just hope everyone the household obliges and goes out for the evening soon so I can watch it on my own ...

Seraphine, damn straight ? it has been TOO long since any new Benedict material! Although I haven't seen War Horse so maybe I ought to try to catch it.

You will have to get Dr.BC to give you a full going over, LetUsPrey. THAT will have you better in no time ! Hope you are on the mend. Stupid me. just tried to sort out recording Hawking, and of course, it was this morning !! Missed it...Sob Sob...

Such good news about the Oliviers, but nothing on the news about JLM and BC being awarded best actor!!!

Good idea sloppygirl.

I may have to take to my bed on a permanent basis. I foresee the need for lots of "treatment" just to be sure.

We're on "Most Active Threads"

Brilliant. Everyone else is posting about looking forward to seeing BC's stunning performance in Hawking and I'm posting about him bring Doctor Benedict.

Typical.

Bloody heck, I missed him by one month!

He'll be in NYC, with Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue, for a Sherlock evening on 2 May. I was so close! Because I would have found tickets to this SOMEHOW, even if I melted my credit card.

There was something on Cumberbatchweb that suggests he'll be at Comicon with the Star Trek cast. No idea where in the US/when that is!

[useless info]

Right. We need some links. I don't care if they're old or new. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Here's one

And another

Ooooh, Prey, that second photo! Young man!!!

Apologies for absence (a whole 38 hours ), been a tad busy with work.

To make up for it:

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Just for Prey
