Oooh putting BC with the role of Wesley in The Princess Bride. NiceGrin. He'd have never left to go off on his quest!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 05/07/2012 19:46

Of course he wouldn't have left. I would have either tied him to the bed or he would be so enraptured of me that he wouldn't want to leave!

See what I mean about FantasyLand??? I think I may have already taken up permanent residence...

LetUsPrey · 05/07/2012 19:56

Do you know what's annoying? I never dream about BC. I mean, I think about him a lot, but no dreams. Watched the tennis last night and saw Ferrer's interview after losing. I thought he was really sweet and seemed like such a nice person. Good looking and obviously fit, but not for me.

Had a dream where I ended up in bed with Ferrer where he demonstrated his abilities, and I'm not talking about tennis.

But BC? Nothing. S'not fair.

Interested in this thread?

Prey, if it makes you feel any better, I've only had one (night) dream about him (which was pretty damn good). Was plenty irked when DS2 woke me out of that one.

Now daydreams on the other hand....LOTS of those. (But I suppose everyone here is in the same boat.)

And you know what they say about dreams, most of them we don't remember. So it could well be that you have dreamt about BC, just that you don't remember. (How very cruel!!)

Prey, those Birthday pics are lovely. He looks very agreeably casual and dishevelled.

I've never had a sexy-time dream about him either, if it helps. He has appeared in several strange work-anxiety dreams though Hmm

Grin at David Ferrer sex dream. I once dreamt about being Andy Murray's girlfriend. No funny business (we were talking about tennis and press conferences!) but it was very intimate and sweet. He was luvly Blush

LetUsPrey · 06/07/2012 16:34

In the dream, before the sexytime shenaningans with Ferrer, I was in a queue with Tsonga and we had a lovely chat. He was terribly nice and smiley.

Love his hair in this shot

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 06/07/2012 16:38

Oh my giddy aunt, that hair is SO grabbable ruffle-able!

Rachel (original WAYWB admin) was at the show today - if you see any of the shots before the play, that's her funky umbrella keeping him dry. Lucky thing!

LetUsPrey · 06/07/2012 22:54

I have been admiring her mustache?moustache? umbrella and being extremely jealous that she was sheltering the divine BC! It sounds and looks like it was completely manic.

I've actually just been viewing the archives on WAYWB and giggling away at the captions. I was just about to post this and say that I probably won't understand much of it either when it's finally shown on Sky Movies and will end up doing the same thing!

binkydink · 06/07/2012 23:03

Yeah, she was in the right place at the right time, it seems! From what she's told me, he was rushed but pleasant, understandably he was probably "in the zone" ready for the performance and didn't want to spend too long outside.

Wish I could have gone!

LetUsPrey · 06/07/2012 23:09

Me too. I follow a few BC blogs on Tumblr but WAYWB is my favourite. The photos are excellent, but it's the writing that makes it what it is - both old and new admins!

I am sitting next to DH and have angled myself away from him so I could click on that link. Grin Those cheekbones! I want to ... oh I can't say at this time of the day whilst sober.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 07/07/2012 15:58

Did anyone listen to Richard Bacon? Or know if Benedict's bits have been clipped and posted anywhere on the web? I loathe Richard B and can't face listening to the whole three-hour show ...

Oh, how fab does Look Back in Anger sound? Benedict is SO fabulous on stage.

binkydink · 07/07/2012 16:32

from all accounts he wasn't actually on richard bacon. someone from sherlockology listened to the whole thing and said he wasn't on. maybe he just didn't have time with the play?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 07/07/2012 16:39

Shock Sad

Oh well. I did think it sounded like a busy day with the play as well ...

He's not very good at saying no or having a break from work, is he? Suppose we ought to be glad that he was sensible for once!

LetUsPrey · 07/07/2012 20:18

Did they cut Richard Bacon's show short or something yesterday or just not air it at all? I may have dreamt that.

The Look Back in Anger performance sounds amazing. I read - probably on WAYWB Grin - that BC/his character cried, at appropriate times obviously. Don't know what it is about that, but I'd like to see him in something where he cries. I know he cried at the end of Sherlock but I want more IYSWIM. That all sounds a bit strange really Hmm.

CaveMum · 07/07/2012 20:20

I think BC was supposed to phone in for an interview.

I asked Cumberbatchweb, they confirmed that he was not on Sad

CaveMum · 07/07/2012 20:22

Have you seen the YouTube video where he sobs? I can't remember what it is called. It's a short drama with no dialogue. Tis very sad Sad

LetUsPrey · 07/07/2012 20:26

Oh yes, CaveMum, Inseparable isn't it? Forgot about that. Made me cry.

There's two of him in that - how on earth did I forget about that one? Grin
