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.

Hmm, yes she doesn't come across great. Though I get a suggestion that Anna Wintour is a tad obsessed with her. She's a big BC fan anyway, perhaps this is an extension of that.

Agree that "whippet" is not the best analogy Of course I'm biased, but it would have been better to compare her lithe limbs to those of a Thoroughbred, that would at least suggest elegance (no offence to whippets and all that)

He was recording some letters for Radio 4 with Loo Brearley yesterday. I'm loving the jacket and the shorter hair but he still looks either sad or grumpy.

Smiles at Richard III burial today.

I think he looked nice today - really liked the peom reading as well

That poem reading was beautiful, reminded me how good his voice is.

Channel 4 are about to show an interview with BC from this morning. It'll be on Channel 4+1 in an hour if you miss it

Another pic from today.

On BBC 2 Newsnight tonight at 10.30 reading a letter live (Nixon's Apollo 11speech)

Black and white images from the funeral.

I did enjoy the Apollo 11 speech, kinda spooky though.

Still here!

No sign of him at Empire Magazine's film awards tonight in London

Liking the hair, very ruffleable! Not watched any of the readings yet.

Tonight's Letters Live has been cancelled due to the fire in central London. Don't know if they're going to get a chance to reschedule.

Here, a post to shoo away the crickets that have assembled in the past few days.

Cumberbuddy had a post a few days ago with a photo of Benedict when he was still jail-bait:

Oh my word

Looks like he could pass as Robert Pattinson's brother. With better eyebrows.

So, am hoping Ben decides to go to this years Chinese Grand Prix. He's out there soon for the Lareus awards as he's presenting again. Last year he combined it with the Grand Prix so he might again.

If he does, I'll be back with pics.

Some old pics to keep us going, including last year at the Monaco GP.

Well he's flown out to Shanghai. He left yesterday so I'm still hopeful that we'll see him at the Grand Prix.

Ah, the Purple Shirt of Sex. How I've missed you

Sorry, it's Frankel by the way - I've name changed.

Hey Frankel/Cave it seems very quiet on this thread at the moment

Ben in Shanghai

The DM has an article about his "spa" visit www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3038073/Benedict-Cumberbatch-visits-spa-Shanghai.html

Have you seen the stuff over the dress not being really hand sewn by 18th century peasants whilst singing opera and riding unicorns?

Lol

Hello all still here too. Not been a huge amount going on. Still liking the hair.
