I forgot to tell you all, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme is being repeated at 10pm on Thursdays on Radio 4Extra. The first one was last week, so it will be on iplayer, and there are 5 more left in the series.

LetUsPrey · 23/09/2012 18:20

Thanks Frankel. I'll listen to them on iPlayer first and then DS1 can listen to them too! He already loves Cabin Pressure!

Looking forward to seeing pics of BC in his Emmys suit.Smile

Am just looking at the photos of Martin Freeman over at WAYWB. Am I the only one who thinks he looks like he's chanelling Elton John with those glasses?

FrankelSaysRelax · 23/09/2012 21:40

Grin @ GreenCard.

Bless Martin, he really needs a WAYWM Tumblr!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 23/09/2012 22:19

He already does.

See?

peedoffbird · 23/09/2012 22:51

Can I say I think he's quite ugly and odd looking ? .

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 07:09

Boo! No Emmy's for Sherlock Sad

WAYWB are running a few photos from last night, but there are no official ones that I can see yet.

Shame about the napkins though. Oh Benny, why do you do this to us?!

LetUsPrey · 24/09/2012 08:14

You can if you want to peedoffbird - each to their own, etc, etc Grin

Silly Emmy awards. The shot of him with the napkins on his forehead is adorkable!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 24/09/2012 11:50

The fact that "Sherlock" is going home empty-handed just goes to show that my country is, indeed, going down the toilet. (I would like to think that the UK does not have anything similar to "Jersey Shore" or other IQ-wasting shows.)

The napkins were...um...interesting. I want to know a) who gave them to him (because they look like they came from McDonald's) and b) what one earth possessed him to do that on the red carpet. I mean, he must know that those pics are going to reverb around the blogosphere. Unless Martin put him up to it. Which I would believe in a New York minute.

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 12:41

Oh I'm utterly convinced he does some of these wacky things for his own amusement. "let's see how long this takes to appear on tumblr!", etc Grin

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 15:28

Rumours circulating that BC could be in line for the next Bond villain role when Bond 24 starts filming next year.

[tentative sqqquuueeeeeee]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 24/09/2012 17:37

I feel a bit bad for him because I'm sure I remember reading that he would like to be Bond ...

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 18:07

Didn't he say he wanted to be Bond's dysfunctional off-the-rails brother?

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 18:11

Oooo, BC is doing a sponsored bike ride

The page was linked to by Cumberbatchweb and was sent to them by BC's publicist, so is 100% genuine.

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 18:15

I'll stop posting in a minute Grin

The Bond quote was from the Harpers Bazaar interview with Rebecca Hall. He said:

"I'd like to play Bond gone wrong... Maybe his brother. Somebody deep in the fabric of Bond's trusted world. Something subtle and psychological, rather than someone with a lair or a massive army. That would be fun."

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 24/09/2012 19:54

Now, Frankel, the question is: Did you transcribe that from the magazine or did you type it from memory? Wink

And, oh yes, we all want to see pictures of Benedict in bike shorts.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 24/09/2012 20:54

BeneBum!!

And I'd like to pretend that that's me behind him...except I'm not that tan, nor am I in California...

LetUsPrey · 24/09/2012 21:42

I'm here and appreciating the links and posts. Tired after homework stresses and dance class.

I need some CumberloveGrin

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 22:06

BC and Zachary Quinto.

I have to say BC looks to be a proper throw-your-arms-around-people hugger Grin

FrankelSaysRelax · 24/09/2012 22:07

Mr Quinto is one hairy dude!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 25/09/2012 08:16

This needs to happen in my bedroom right now. At least the first one.

After about 5 hours of sleep, I'm looking only slightly better (and vertical) than Tom.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 25/09/2012 08:28

OK, so this isn't Benedict (shall we play "Six Degrees of Benedict Cumberbatch"?), but it was too funny not to share.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 25/09/2012 09:22

I think in earlier interviews he's said he'd like to be Bond. But Bond's dysfunctional brother would be good too. 'subtle and psychological' villains are always interesting and he'd do a marvellous job. [not biased at all]
