I take it that's where you live? It would be cool if you got to meet him, exchange a couple of words or even see him from afar.

Here is a lovely little story from Atlanta:

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?

Such a lovely man. And Naomi from Cumberbatchweb collected nearly 18,000 pounds for UNICEF. Hats off to all the generous fans.

Lovely! And it was such a good idea to raise money in his name! I wish I could have contributed

Benedict speaks out about Harvey Weinstein. Well done:

Very thankful that he spoke up. It's so important for other men to condemn Weinstein publicly.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Just back from London and wanted to share this nice little story:
I met up with a set of Brian's pals, think I've mentioned them on here before: the lady is an actress.
Anyhow, they were telling me they'd been to see The Ferrymen.
The night they were there: Benedict was sitting right in front of them.
They said he waltzed in and sat next to this girl who just about died on the spot!
She was quite clearly a fan.
My pals said Benedict was absolutely wonderful, chatted away quite happily with said lady.
They were most impressed by his charm and by what a decent guy he was.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
It always makes me chuckle that people tell me these stories and almost expect me to be surprised.
I just shrug and say: yes, he has the reputation of being so nice.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Indeed. I love how these stories keep popping up. I remember the one where a mother was in a bookshop and suddenly realised Benedict was in the shop, too, reading a storybook to her toddler.
