I wonder what happened.
I hope she´s all right.

Not sure where to put this, just a little Ben appreciation.. 

Hi guys just a little couple of snippets!

If you're in Scotland (well done to Cumberbabe for the spot) Amazing Grace is on STV at 10.30pm tonight!

Also, there's strong rumours coming from Hollywood that Benedict is the front-runner for the new Marvel film Dr Strange. Reports suggest the film's makers are convinced he is the perfect candidate thanks to his intelligence and build (not too bulky). I shall keep eyes peeled! Apparently if the film goes ahead there'll be a 2016 release x

Marta - really quite an entertaining montage with that cheeky song! 

Oh yes, I was trying not to panic with the Dr Strange rumors. They are, after all, just rumors, but if Ben gets the role, boy, that's one hell of a role to play! He's kinda like the Batman of the Marvel world, and Ben's ability to play complex characters simply fits the bill. But I won't hold my hopes up too much; a lesser known actor, like Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger from Game of Thrones) would be a better choice for the studio. Some Marvel fans out there are uneasy about Ben's suitability, too, they seem a little wary about having the Cumber-fandom invading their comic world...

I love Ben, but looking at these illustrations I'd like to cast a vote for Aiden Gillen.  Damn.

I think Ben could transform into this character fantastically.
Apparently they originally wanted Mr Depp for the part.
Keeping my fingers crossed for Benedict because this will probably be a Box Office draw, and I'd love to see him get the lead in one of those at long last!

I could see Benedict playing this role. Dr. Strange fits in with characters like Sherlock and Khan, so Ben can easily get into this.  I'd love to see him do it.  But whether the studio would like him in the role, or see him as 'bankable' in the role is the question. At least it appears he is being considered.

It's a good episode.

I keep missing those Heartbeat episodes, and when I try to download from ITV catch up, the wrong episode is downloaded, without him in it! Grrrr!!!!
I saw his Mum and Dad in an old episode of Lewis last night - I didn't remember them being in it first time I watched it! Not very big parts for either of them, but interesting to watch them act.
