Watch him in August Osage County and you will be cured.

Nope, loved him in that too but won't mention creepy Paul in Atonement

But I'm in the same position as you poor sods now - having binged on all three seasons in one go. My life is bereft. Keep asking dh if sherlock would be my friend . I want to move in

personclown I can't stop laughing at that gif! Don't know if it's because I'm on my phone and it's wee but he looks so... Troubled!!! Grin

I am still convinced id be married to david Tennant if Id only met him before he met his wife. I'm blonde, used to be a single parent!!! (That's as far as the similarities go though...)

I am reliably (constantly) informed that OH does look v much like DT though Smile

I am reliably informed by several not-friends and my one actual friend that I am actually Sherlock... Cumberbatch would hate me. Much like most people, as it happens...

disease: can we be friends? if you are a dark and brooding man? with a sense of humour.

Sorry. I'm a dark and brooding woman-creature with a colossal sense of humour.

But no courgette...

BC has made Sherlock his own.

just wish he'd share a bit of his own with me

ddubsgirl77 · 09/09/2014 22:08

Same hereseen the odd2 3 eps but sat and watched season 1& 2 on netflix had to download s3

PoppyField · 09/09/2014 22:34

I've got tickets to BC's Hamlet September 2015. Ha ha ha ha hah!!!

FrankelandFilly · 09/09/2014 22:48

Sherlock is the best thing on tv at the moment. Fact!

You've already been pointed in the direction of The BCAS ( Founding Member Wink), but if you dare not venture over for now, here's a list of films/tv/radio/audio books to satisfy your CumberCraving.

In no particular order:

Radio:
Neverwhere
Cabin Pressure

TV:
Parade's End
To the Ends of the Earth
The Last Enemy
Fortysomething

TV Movies:
Hawking (his breakout performance, utterly sublime)
Stuart: a life backwards

Films:
Star Trek: Into Darkness
Wreckers
Starter For Ten
The Fifth Estate
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
The Imitation Game (being released shortly)

Audiobooks:
Casanova - this is a must listen!

That'll keep you busy for a while! Grin

Princess, there's no hope for you then!

abigamarone · 09/09/2014 23:22

BC doesn't do anything for me other than as Sherlock. Where I go weak-kneed.

I may have named one of my kittens Sherlock

FoxgloveFairy · 10/09/2014 00:46

Ah yes, the kiss. Think I'll just sit down for a bit.

tiredandsadmum · 10/09/2014 01:10

If you love Sherlock, I would avoid parade's end - it was really not very good (despite all the great reviews on the cover of the DVD). Personally I would just watch Sherlock again (or the Star Trek film)

moxon · 10/09/2014 01:12

This might be old news to some but there is a guardian poster who uses the username 'Benedict's Cumberbitch', which I am dead jealous of for not thinking up first. Ooh, maybe she's on MN too?

SingingSilver · 10/09/2014 01:17

Do many of you find him attractive in Starter For 10? He was a total twonk in that! I only find him sexy with the dark tousled hair. Otherwise his face looks a bit alien-like Blush

Coumarin · 10/09/2014 03:22

Bloody hell, that kiss gif again.

Bloody, bloody hell.

Coumarin · 10/09/2014 03:26

Actually, yes, it is only rational, slightly cold, curly dark locked Sherlock that does it for me. Ben C is undoubtedly lovely but I could happily chat about the weather with him and stay pale cheeked.

One word from Sherlock however and I'd turn bright red and...

right i'm back.
F0ssil : yes i watched all three seasons on netflix. imagine my outrage when i discovered there are only three episodes a season (i know they are 1.5 hrs each but still just didn't seem long enough for me. bloody slackers)
Personal - ugh. YY i am in agony. 2 bloody years. Who invented this form of personal torture.
123 Jump just checked out that link and have a stupid grin on my face. a whole new universe has opened up to me.....
