The BCAS: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

[NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand]

A place for Cumberbatch fans to band together whilst waiting for DorkyBatch to return.

and again ;)

Just got an email, NT Live will be broadcasting Hamlet to cinemas on 15th October, tickets on sale 16th March from local cinemas. So for those that didn't get tickets, like me. That's good, i'll be happy to watch in the cinema. Also good timing for my birthday in October.

Great news Cumber I think I'll treat myself to a ticket too, even though it's nowhere near my birthday .

Hope they show it in my local Odeon.
Going to see him the following week anyway

I can't seem to find a direct link but on the Cumberbuddy tumblr is a link to Bens audio work for his Family Guy App character, very funny here

Very funny scififan
Bugger me ragged (don't mind if I do lol)

I hate family guy.

Anyone staying up for the oscars? I do love a pretty gown but I remember being so excited last year, then we had the cumber bombing. Happy times!

Anyone see the pap pics in the sun today? As I know we are all avid sun readers.....

They look set up. Thank goodness all the campaigning can stop. It's been tiring

HRH, I saw them over on SOGO. Meh, I agree. They do look staged. (Who leaves the car door open unless you're used to having someone close it for you like you're on the set of Downton Abbey???) And that petrol station one...ugh.

Am partly hoping he will make good on his promise to disappear and nest for a while, although this has been such a trainwreck that I wonder when it will stop. For someone who used to rarely get photographed privately, this is such a jarring detour. Although I'm not quite as sceptical as many readers/posters on SOGO, it has gotten me thinking as to who is engineering all this. I am definitely mourning the BC of a year ago -- seemed to be much more relaxed, easy-going, etc. I know impending parenthood can scare some people "straight" (i.e. into being more responsible), but I for one hardly recognize our boy. I just hope it doesn't totally backfire on him. Maybe it's because I've been paying so much attention to this whole process because of BC, but I haven't seen nearly as much about the other contenders, and if there was something written up, it was usually about their work. (sigh)

Karon deserves an all-expenses paid jaunt to Hawaii after this is over. (Hell, she's only a flight away from LAX!)

I'm getting addicted to that Sogo though. They don't hold back over there, do they

Nope!

Hello all! Marking my spot for lovely OscarsBatch photos in the morning

I didn't like the white jacket on him nor the slicked hair. He needs to gain some weight too.
She looked lovely I'd say she's about 7 months gone

Some nice pics on Tumblr. She is looking pretty big now. They are looking happier, maybe all the stress was getting to them. They look like a happy couple too.

They do look very happy, those beaming smiles are so lovely.

I'm not a "white tux" fan either, far too American

A little something to help get over the white tux...

I wasn't a fan of the slick hair or the White tux. She looked lovely, the hair and make up.
The dress apart from the Liz Hurley ness of it,was lovely.she can wear red.

I have been thinking why didn't they wait until after the oscars to get married when they have more time.

Perhaps the records will show and certainly the papers have said wife instead of girlfriend. Who knows.

It was lovely his mum and dad went. I wouldn't expect anything else :)

Not much of the White tux on show in these, though I have to admit I quite liked it.

They do look very loved up in the photos that have appeared in the Fail, though they are blatantly paparazzi shots so that makes me feel a bit dirty for viewing them.

I normally feel dirty when I look at him, but not when he's with her

Have you ladies seen this?

But WHY is he looking at the camera when he kisses her cheek? WHY???

It's possible it was just a momentary glance. If lots of flash bulbs are going off your eye is drawn to them. Plus there will have been hundreds of photos taken, they just chose to publish that one.

Alas, I don't believe so, Frankel. If you watch this gifset, you'll see that he FIRST makes eye contact with the camera and THEN kisses her while maintaining eye contact with the camera.

Let me put it this way: I currently don't doubt that there is SOME affection between the two, but it just seemed a little overdone for the cameras.

I'm with Needsagreencard
I found the papped honeymoon pics staged and felt the pdas at the Oscars a bit over the top. She doesn't look too comfortable with the cheek and hand kissing but then I'd be the same - hate pdas

Serious or Dorky, pick your favourite!

Love these two but always partial to dorky batch
