This picture is one of my favourite photoshoots. Back to his flat after a black-tie do, crack open a bottle of champagne and..........

Hahahahaha brilliant Grin

CaveMum · 20/07/2012 08:44

I'd forgotten all about that film! I loved it when I was a kid Grin

Amazing that Sherlock scored 13 Emmy Nominations, totally justified though of course.

NeedaGreenCard Did you get Cabin Pressure sorted? I see that it's available on CD with Series 2 to follow Great to see that series 4 is def happening.

VoidofDiscovery · 20/07/2012 13:51

Really must stop looking at this thread and clicking on the links. It's not helping at all

CaveMum · 20/07/2012 17:51

Am I being dim and forgetful (very likely) or are you new to the BCAS VoidofDiscovery? If so, welcome, stay, enjoyGrin. If not, apologies for me being a bit dimBlush.

CaveMum squeeeeee indeed. Benedict, some of that money was mine. DH is out tonight so you can call round to "thank" me in person.

The way his mouth is slightly open is just .....

CaveMum · 20/07/2012 19:59

He has an amazing mouth Wink That cupid's bow gets me every time

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 20/07/2012 20:12

I could bite those lips.

Imagine what he can do with that mouth...

Okay, I'm backGrin. Now, DH is out for the night. I'll be getting the DC to bed soon [deluded]. What should I watch?

I daren't risk Third Star as the way I am at the moment I will end up drowning in tears and snot.

I'm tempted to get the free month of Netflix via our Wii and watch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but then I'd have to explain to DH why we suddenly have it when we had supposedly decided against it. Hmm

So, it looks like it's Sherlock again.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 20/07/2012 20:17

VoidofDiscovery, yes I did, thanks for asking. I'm not sure if the German media overlords condone my (legally) downloading those eps from the BBC audio store, but the download went through, so I'm assuming yes. I just finished the Molokwai ep. yesterday, and I am loving every. single. second of the show. Season 3 is downloaded and ordered into its very own playlist on my phone.

Very, very pleased that Season 4 will be recorded (when all the planets align and those guys get in the same room together).

OK, I know this isn't WAYWO(livia), but did you see this post? Is Olivia sporting a Muffin Top? Yikes. I know hip hugging jeans are popular and all, but, um, they're not meant for everyone. Still, am very jealous that she got to share his bed all those years. As snarky as that one tumblr picture was, I don't think she deserved that. Hats off to both of them for keeping the details of that break-up under wraps.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 20/07/2012 20:23

Dear. God.

CaveMum · 20/07/2012 20:39

They were obviously very much in love, they were together 10 years after all. You wonder if the fact that he is desperate to become a father was behind the break up [speculates wildly]

But like you say, at least they were both dignified about it.

I was never keen on that Anna girl he dated for a while, and don't get me started on Lydia Whatserface [feeling bitchy]

LetUsPrey · 20/07/2012 20:54

Don't get me started on feeling bitchyGrin

I prefer to completely delude myself and ignore real life entirely as far as BC is concerned.

Off to supervise DC going to bed.

CaveMum · 20/07/2012 21:09

I still imagine myself in this picture Grin

I went for The Hounds of Baskerville in the end. Did the quickest tidy up ever so I could squeeze Benedict in

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 20/07/2012 22:01

CaveMum, my theory is that she wanted to concentrate on her career, he wanted kids => impasse.

That Anna-what's-her-face just doesn't look very nice. There, I've said it. The one picture I've seen of them together...I don't know. I sense zero chemistry. (Which may explain why they're not together anymore.) He looks like the ideal son-in-law and she looks like the daughter-in-law-from-hell (high manintenance). And as for the Heiress...No idea. Don't care. She sort of looks like Twiggy, just with less charisma (but perhaps more money).

Prey, I love, love, love that clip. The shot of his hand on her back does things to me that I don't want to put into writing. Even the armpit kiss is ... hoo, baby! (Can't imagine how many takes they needed to get that in the can...that poor, poor woman, having to make out with him over and over...with little on....)

I must stop thinking about BC when on the treadmill. (Had to after chaperoning DS1's outing to an outdoor playplace, where lunch was two huge bratwursts and I consumed enough cafe au lait to power me through til 5 am...) Fantasy got away from me and I almost fell off. No injuries, though.

Here's to being bitchy -- sometimes snark is the only thing that helps.

LetUsPrey · 21/07/2012 12:52

Hahahahaha brilliant!

CaveMum · 21/07/2012 20:15

Quiet in here today.

Promo photo for Parades End? Rumoured to air mid-August, though no confirmation.
