Hey everyone!

At the suggestion of ancientsgate, here's a new thread ...

If you could ask Benedict one question, and one question only, what would it be?

Having already posted my proper question on the picture thread I'm going to post my fun question here to start things off!

"Would you like to go for a drink? First one is on me"

Ha ah, I like that one Clare!

Only coming up with one question is so difficult but I think I would stick with my input on the thread - what would be your specialist subject if you were to appear on mastermind?

Failing that, is he in the market for a new PA and can I apply? (My dream job....I know my ambition is astonishing!)

I like those Biggles!
I reckon, obviously I have NO idea whether this would be the case or not, that he would pick Terence Rattigan plays. It's, I think, the only subject he's kind of publicly passionate about.
Be great if he picked something utterly random like "Arsenal FC 1975-1990" lol!

I couldn't stick with just one on the other thread is I'll stick with my original 3 questions and let him choose which one to answer;
Does he find it hard to shake of the gloomy mood if he's played a particularly depressing role?
What, if anything, has he learned from any of the Actors he has worked with?
Did he find it hard to adapt from acting for the stage to acting for TV?

What was your favourite episode of Cabin Pressure to record?

Those are good questions guys!

You never know, if we are lucky we might get the chance to ask ;)

Would you like to go to Duxford Air Museum with me?

I'd ask him what was the last thing he thought, the last words that were in his head, before he decided to photobomb U2 at the Oscars! Ha ha!

I know this thread is just for single question but more than anything I would love to hear him answer the Inside the Actor's Studio questions!

"Do you realize just how fantastic you are? How talented, how handsome and just wonderful you are; because you should"

Too true

I'd love to see him inside the actors studio, too - though he'd have to learn to keep some of his answers a little shorter I think
Right now I'd like to ask him to join me in a cold glass of white wine, sat somewhere warm and beautiful watching a glorious sunset
