Fabulous.

Oh btw, did he say he was a day late? A day? His days seem to have more than 24 hours (which sometimes seems the case judging from his schedule)

**Posted by Mattlocked** August 22, 2014 9:35 pm

Don't know. Didn't listen.

**Posted by Lilith** August 22, 2014 9:38 pm

wonder what has distracted you?

**Posted by Mattlocked** August 22, 2014 9:45 pm

Don't know. Stopped thinking.

BTW: Did you notice how ridiculous short the other videos are?

**Posted by SolarSystem** August 22, 2014 9:54 pm

Other videos? There are other videos? I only know one video, the one with that British actor bloke...

**Posted by Mattlocked** August 22, 2014 9:56 pm

Of course you do! The others are so short, you hardly recognise them before they're over.

So bloody worth the wait.

Very much so! And as he said, he takes the whining, haha

**Posted by Harriet** August 23, 2014 11:32 am

He most generously made up for that

Oh my... I'm still lost for words and I've lost count how many times I watched this video!

Benedict has elevated getting soaked to an art form.

I am at work cannot wait to see!

Honestly, ladies, I don't know what's got into you. It's just a man getting wet.

*runs and hides*

(The real reason I'm here is for my quarterly check on whether I'm still only Sherlocked, or also Cumberbatched. OK, still just Sherlocked. If the ice bucket can't do it for me, nothing can.)

How comes it BC looks so much older when he's his own self than when he's Sherlock???

**Posted by Harriet** August 23, 2014 2:19 pm

But even you have to admit that he displays a great commitment for the cause as well as humour and creativity and courage, don't you?

Acting skills?

I think he does not look older than he did in series 3. There was a distinct change in his looks from series 2 to series 3. More mature. And the first thing my daughter was that he looked so tanned compared to Sherlock.

**Posted by SolarSystem** August 23, 2014 3:05 pm

He certainly looks older than in S1 (and the Pilot!), but he already looked older in S2 and then again in S3... and I have to admit: I love it when he looks a bit more mature. Totally works for me.
And apart from that: The man grows older just like we all do, doesn't he?

**Posted by maryagrawatson** August 23, 2014 3:06 pm

I found that he was often at the extremes in series 3. Sherlock either looked extremely young (eg. the "Mycroft promised to take them to a matinée of Les Mis" scene) or much older than his years (eg. the Mary's pregnant scene in TSOT). The odd time that he did look his age, it was as a mature man in his late 30s, not a youthful one (eg. the final scene in TEH with the reporters or the Magnussen shooting scene). This rather reflects how Benedict himself is growing up in a sense and sporting a more mature clothing style.
