Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Here is another lovely thing for MNDA. Benedict introduces a poem read by an MND patient. A wonderful video that deserves to be watched as a whole:

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Found this on tumblr
“On flights, I go through box sets. Sherlock – that’s the best series I’ve seen for a while. Benedict Cumberbatch is SO good,” says Murray, cover star of the new issue of Radio Times magazine.
Murray says he’s even given US Holmes update Elementary a go, but that it’s “just not the same” – “for me, Sherlock Holmes is Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s unbelievable…”
Who would you choose to play yourself in a film of your life? “It would have to be Benedict Cumberbatch. I like him. I’ve never met him, but I love the character he plays in Sherlock. And I think he’s a great actor. Can he do a Scottish accent though? I’ve heard he’s a tennis fan, so I’ll mention it to him and we’ll get this film off the ground [smiles].”

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I've always said Andy looks like Benedict.
None of my Scottish non-Sherlockian colleagues agree with...glad Andy himself does and that he has the taste to be a Sherlockian.

Benedict's birthday is coming up soon, and the Batch of Kindness campaign is a lovely way to celebrate

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Well it's after 7am here, so I guess I'm first to be able to say: Happy Birthday, Benedict!
And there's still time to donate to his favourite charities

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I already did some weeks ago. Amazing to see how much his fans are willing to give for good causes chosen by himself.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Happy Birthday... old man. 
I wonder if he also has problems with that figure.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
He has achieved so much in his career and in his personal life I don't think he'll mind so much now he is married and has a child.
I know he's about 5 years behind on his original schedule, but at least these things have happened for him now.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Big happy birthday, Ben! I hope he has a wonderful day!
But I do feel slightly sad that he's done with his 30s...

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Happy birthday, Benedict!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I need some help
Does anyone remember about the dancing video Ben didn't want out in public? It was from a friends wedding I think... has anyone seen it?
Was he dancing to Thriller?
The deal is that someone made a lovely video of Ben doing 30 different impressions... The last one being one where he dances to Michael Jacksons Thriller...
In case that's the video in question I'll remove it from my Facebook wall...
