BC on BBC Olympic programme
Benedict provided a 'filmed narration' on BBC1 in a run in to the Olympic programme at 7.00pm. I nearly choked when he was filmed getting into a black cab, although I noticed that he checked on the identity of the driver beforehand

Re: BC on BBC Olympic programme
Loved seeing all the fan girl comments under the video on YouTube. I was laughing my head off. Someone wished he had said "The Games, Mrs. Hudson, are on!" That would have been so cool - but it wouldn't do to type cast him I guess.
Wasn't that wild at the end when he was up on that high building and raised his arms up!!! I was screaming. 
. So glad he got to have his part in this event!

Apparently there were people on Tumblr saying 'step back from the edge Benedict'

Re: BC on BBC Olympic programme
I am still excited about discovering this on Youtube a few minutes ago, because I had watched the ceremony with the rather stiff and boring German commentary and just out of sheer intuition said to my mother, as we're both great Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch-fans: "Well, maybe, he will be there too. Enjoying all this live. I'm convinced he had some part in that ceremony, some part, maybe he's just somewhere in the audience..."
And now I just went online to find that I was accidently even slightly right...huge grin plastered on my face now.
It really is a beautiful way to start the ceremony and he's the perfect person for it.
And yes, the Youtube comments were also quite fascinating...
I cringed when they actually played "Staying Alive" during the ceremony though.

Sherlock: If I wasn't everything that you think I am, everything that I think I am, would you still want to help me?
Molly: What do you need?
Sherlock: You.

Re: BC on BBC Olympic programme
Thanks for posting the video clip here--it was great to see Benedict's participation. Loved the Let the Games commence line.
Re hearing Stayin' Alive: I was like, OMG, was that a nod to Sherlock or what? Figured it wasn't but still, cool yet weird to hear it. And it went on for such a long time, too.

This may also have been a tribute to the Gibbs.

I don't really think so. No. I thought of Jim Moriarty at once.

Re: BC on BBC Olympic programme
Last night I was watching the youtube-video on my laptop when I had Sherlock on TV the same time on DasErste. ;-)
Benedict everywhere - what fun! ;-)

Sorry, Sherlock, had no idea where else to put this. Move it if you like.

Re: BC on BBC Olympic programme
Darnit. Can't play it here in the US, I guess. Maybe it's somewhere on YouTube?
Anyway, makes me think of "Welcome to London" in The Study in PInk.
