Awww… this is adorably funny! Love it… and his voice… still wished so much I lived near those events!!

Letters Live put up another little clip, of Andrew Scott reading Spike Milligan's letter to his elusive friend, George Harrison.

Here's an article from the Telegraph about a new effort in letter writing from the Letters Live folks...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/12036204/Benedict-Cumberbatch-Dear-Santa-I-never-did-get-that-lightsaber.html

And here is the first page of the handwritten letter done by Ben...

Further more here it is in full (translate from the handwriting for easier reading)...

So articulate, so passionate, so thoughtful, so beautifully compassionate... so Benedict!

Simply beautiful. Tears in my eyes.

I've read it in the Telegraph earlier today (well, about two hours ago, when I woke up) and wow this is certainly a very, very moving letter...

Should we get him a lightsaber? xD

Someone needs to get him a lightsaber!

I reckon he'll receive about twenty already from other fans

**Posted by Lilythiell** December 7, 2015 6:16 pm

Time to get real, ladies. Who's up for starting a crowfunding for this?
(what do you mean, my reaction's excessive?)

**Posted by besleybean** December 7, 2015 6:17 pm

Not as funny as the whip!

Personally, I can't get enough of Tom!

**Posted by Ivy** December 8, 2015 8:55 pm

I agree with you, besleybean. He's lovely and seems like a sweet guy I think my favourite "interview" with him was that Q&A at NerdHQ in 2013, I can't tell you how often I have watched it in the past 2 ½ years.

That letter to Santa... how can we not love this man?
