If you press I, it says he's in it.

Also on sky on Sunday, the Simpsons he's in.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/02/2014 10:59

Hadn't seen this one before.

Can never NOT repost this.

Nor this.

I just showed my ten year old daughter photo of Benedict - and she said "yuck!" no no no no!

Oh wow! That third one NeedsaGreen makes me go weak at the knees. His bum and his back - what a great view of him!

ColinFirthsGirth · 22/02/2014 12:49

I watched Parade's End last night. I am so glad I did.

I thought the last episode was particularly interesting with him being in the trenches. Heartbreaking but so wonderfully acted. Christopher was such a lovely character in it. Benedict looked amazing in uniform too!

I can't get over what a versatile and talented man he is.

greencard OMG that third link . He just looks......words fail me!!

PeaceEagle · 22/02/2014 14:10

Yes, that third link is going to ruin my life. Bloody hell.

RiverTam · 22/02/2014 15:14

Lordy.

I now really wish I wasn't such a luddite - we don't have netflix or sky or anything. How am I going to afford Benedict - I can't buy all his stuff! Maybe Wreckers will be in the library?

Sudename · 22/02/2014 17:24

He's at the Ireland England rugby match at Twickenham today - is it sad that Im watching hoping for a glance from the crowd Sad

Anyone done the Benedict Cumberbatch Stalker Quiz?
My score below, I did guess one.

You scored: 10 / 10
Your Ranking: You know as much as Martin Freeman! It's like you've worked with Benedict on two major film and TV franchises. You know him like the back of your hand, and Benedict may have to put out a restraining order. Ooh, now he's paying attention to you!

WitchOfEndor · 22/02/2014 19:00

LetUsPrey thank you! got it now! they should change Sky search so we can just put in 'Cumberbatch' and find everything he is in!

LetUsPrey · 22/02/2014 19:02

Have you got the Sky+ app WitchOfEndor? You can search using his name on that and it brings up everything he's in. Very handy Grin

WitchOfEndor · 22/02/2014 19:06

I scored 8/10, didn't know how many feature length films he was in or where he was on 21st august! I do feel slightly ashamed that I am a 40 year old mother with a crush!

WitchOfEndor · 22/02/2014 19:08

Let UsPrey seriously! does it?

lokidoki · 22/02/2014 19:13

Hi all. I have posted once or twice about how my DD is a massive Sherlock fan and loves BC.

Last weekend we spent a happy hour driving through rural Gloucestershire looking for the house they used as Appledore in ep3 of season 3.

Such fun.

Also, have you already discussed that BC is going to be playing Hamlet in London sometime this year? Now that's a MN meet up I'd be up forSmile

BornToFolk · 22/02/2014 20:01

I got 9/10....not sure whether to be Blush or Grin!

Turning Point set to record, thanks for the heads up!

Cumberlover76 · 22/02/2014 20:18

Can you get a wish list on sky like on virgin? You can set it to record anything with a certain person in. I've not got one set up for BC as DH would be Hmm!

I found when I was first fully cumberbatched, after it had been brewing for a while, I was totally obsessed and could not stop thinking about him or looking at him and couldn't do much else for a few days. Although I still have to get my daily fix, I feel my Benaddiction is at a slightly more managable level and I can get on with some other things and hold a conversation with DH! It is like nothing else I have had since a crazy teen crush though. I am also a 37 year old mum and can't get enough of him.

I get my fix by going to bed before DH to 'read my book' Wink.

Cumberlover76 · 22/02/2014 20:22

HRH I tried looking for Sherlock sex toys and only got lots of erotic fanfic. We should get on it, great business idea. We could move on from the cardboard cut out of Benedict!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/02/2014 21:47

Frankel, I had seen the hoodie ones from that shoot before, but never this one, with the hood down. YUM.

Sudename - holy shit, it's Birling Day!!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 22/02/2014 21:50

Aw damn, I only got 9/10. It was the number of films that I botched.

Sudename · 22/02/2014 23:42

needsagreencard I always thought Birling Day was the day the last game was played in the 6 Nations?

HRHwheezing · 23/02/2014 15:30

Because it's Sunday

Radio 3 tonight for BC in "Copenhagen"

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 23/02/2014 17:19

RiverTam, I'm pretty sure that Wreckers is on YouTube.

Sudename, I think you're right. I just wonder if he had any Talisker yesterday. Aw, hell, Wales wasn't playing anyway.
