I'm about four minutes behind - they're just talking about curry houses.

BC is a beautiful beautiful man - and I love his hair like that! [shallow]

Damn Good Shag has just happened here. I'm a happy girl!

LetUsPrey · 20/09/2012 22:02

Loving Jon Richardson also.

Just had a Damn Good Shag here too. Several times in fact as I may have accidentally rewound it over and over and over Grin

Confirmation that BC will be at The Emmys on sunday.

Doesn't look like you can watch the show live over here (starts at midnight anyway) but apparently Channel 5 are doing a highlights show in the week. Not sure what chance Sherlock has to be honest, it didn't pick up any of the creative awards that it was nominated for during the week, and it probably doesn't have a huge audience in the US.

Good morning, ladies,

I found a provider (that's almost definitely legal, haven't found anything to tell me otherwise) that streams UK and US TV on the internet. (This is how I have been watching Parade's End!!) I just checked, and the Emmys will be carried by the US network ABC, which is also streamed on this channel.

Here's the link to the stream. Just click away the adverts and then you can watch to your heart's content. FOR FREE.

Hope this helps! (Can't do anything about the time difference, though -- sorry!)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 21/09/2012 13:04

Found this and the second one made me immediately think of "Ally McBeal" when Richard was all about the wattle under someone's chin....

SeaShellsMyDogTrulySmells · 21/09/2012 16:47

Oooh he is close to the aisle - that bodes well :)

LetUsPrey · 21/09/2012 16:56

I remember that episode!

Looks like Benedict's got an aisle seat on the fourth row at the Emmys - as long as the photo's genuine.

This made me giggleSmile

One of my favourite photoshoots featuring Benedict

Something to watch out for

LetUsPrey · 21/09/2012 21:02

I'll be behind tonight with Parade's End. Might not actually get to watch until the weekend so NO SPOILERS PLEASE. Not that anyone has ever posted spoilers but just thought I'd mention itGrin

FrankelSaysRelax · 21/09/2012 22:04

All I will say after tonight's episode is "hhnnngggg"

Grin
NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 21/09/2012 22:16

I second that, Frankel.

Oh my... the music, the cinematography, the costumes, and Benedict (and the rest)...fantastic. I would have happily tuned in for another few weeks to watch more. What I love the most about him is that he makes me want to run to the library to get those books so I can have those images in my mind as I read. (Because, let's face it, reading a book with little kids in the house does tend to take a while.) Alas, there is a stack of books to be read before then, but I have pre-ordered PE from Amazon. My friend here has already asked when she can come over to watch. Must find DH something to do while we sit here and swill wine and swoon.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 21/09/2012 22:30

The Cumberbuddy Tumblr is killing me with GIFs. Do they count as spoilers?

LetUsPrey · 22/09/2012 08:54

Because I am weak and have no self control, particularly where Benedict Cumberbatch is concerned Grin, I have been looking at the gifs on the cumberbuddy tumblr.

Yes, I think I will definitely be watching this final episode when I am alone.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/09/2012 12:12

Another spectacular example of "Do as I say, not do as I do" at the GreenCard residence recently:

DS1: No Mommy, we can't eat breakfast now, my favourite show is on!
NeedsAGreenCard: Honey, we don't plan our lives around the television.

-The previous evening-
NeedsAGreenCard: Honey, I need to run NOW so that I'm done by the time PE comes on!

Aren't double standards wonderful?

LetUsPrey · 22/09/2012 13:05

Like:

Me last night: No-one post any spoilers for the last episode of PE. No-one!

Me this morning before even getting out of bed: I've looked at the gifs on cumberbuddy.

Didn't think it was possible, but I want him even more!Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/09/2012 21:52

Oh god Prey, I know what I'm dreaming about tonight...

I never really had a hair fetish before Benedict. But that one close-up....Come here dear, I need to fix that one curl [grabs on and hangs on for dear life]...

And I had to laugh this morning when an anon on Tumblr asked Cumberbuddy when Season Two of Parade's End was going to be aired...don't we wish!

LetUsPrey · 22/09/2012 22:28

Looking at Tumblr earlier tonight. Forgot DS1 was next to me with DH next to him.

DS1 "Who's David Cumberbatch mum?"
Me "Benedict. And no-one in particular"
DS1 "Why were there pictures of him?"
Me "I was on Twitter [lie]. It was something about Sherlock [lie]. If I'd kept on scrolling, you'd have seen Louis Smith [lie]. Now, do you want to watch Doctor Who or not?"

Note for future: Only scroll Tumblr when alone.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/09/2012 22:41

Who's Benedict Cumberbatch?

To paraphrase something we just to joke about at university...

He's a god in my pantheon. Perhaps the only one.

After a drink or three, it always degenerated into "He's a god in my pants."

LetUsPrey · 23/09/2012 08:34

Benedict at a BAFTA LA tea

And some more

It's a polo shirt. How can anyone look that good in a polo? Because he's Benedict Cumberbatch.

LetUsPrey · 23/09/2012 11:54

Have watched Parade's End. They were all amazing. Sylvia was a cow for cutting down the tree.

BC with his hand on the bath tap was very, erm, enjoyable Grin

LetUsPrey · 23/09/2012 13:09

Make sure you're somewhere private and sitting down before you open this. Don't say I didn't warn youGrin

And if you're not sitting down already, make sure you've got some cushions to land on
