BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Ben-related fun stuff

I think we need a thread for fun quizzes and such that involve BC (or is there another thread that would work out?)

I wonder who will get Ben.

I got Alan Rickman

We have to share him, Ivy, I got him, too

Awh, I actually got Ben!!

"Mr. Cumberbatch is a true gentleman, a sensitive and intelligent man who will respect you and make sure your feelings are catered for in everything that he does. He is also, when the mood takes him, quite a serious-minded person who wears his heart on his sleeve. You and he will get along famously, as his fine breeding matches your need for traditional romance, a place for everything and everything in its place.

Your home will, of course, be immaculate. Long weekends will be spent manicuring the garden and then throwing dinner parties for your friends in which you and Benedict try out exciting new recipes. And when you argue—as all couples do—the standard of the debate will be very high indeed. Just be aware that the cost of such perfection is a greater sense of disappointment when minor things go wrong. Get over that and you're all set for a very happy life together. "

Lol, I got Benedict too, and I answered the questions as honestly as possible

That poor man, he isn't young anymore, I hope he'll survive it

Oopsie, Colin Firth. Not bad at all. Wonder if he still has that white clingy shirt …

Has anyone tried the quiz on IMDB?

Right, we can be - demanding

As I said before, I got Colin Firth as my British husband and the description fit me pretty well, surprisingly. Nothing against Colin, of course, he's a good actor. The description that goes along with Ben seems a little too by-the-book for him if you know what I mean.

Interesting IMDB quiz.

I got Colin Firth, too and I think that's a very good match for me personally. Just for fun, my husband took the quiz and he got Ben. We've been joking about it ever since.

Oh, I've got to share my new husband with your husband, KP. Interesting situation! (Not to mention those of you who will be around us as well.)

Ha! Nobody is going to believe this, but my perfect husband is Mister David Tennant.
Thank god I'm still all alone in the office, because I just burst out laughing hysterically.

Mr. Tennant is a very serious, quiet-minded man who happens to also be a total show-off, depending on how the mood takes him. You are the kind of person that enjoys both sides of his personality, being perfectly happy sitting in silence enjoying books in parallel, but also in need of a bit of wildness from time to time or you'll both go stir crazy.

He is also prone to bouts of introspection, playing his cards very close to his chest and keeping his powder dry. Other less secure spouses will find this quite hard work, so you'll need to be aware that he's not doing this on purpose, and try not to force the issue. Give him space, and he'll soon be dancing in the kitchen and quoting Shakespeare in a funny English accent again.

So no one's got Martin yet? I'm guessing you have to pick Grumpy as your favourite Dwarf

**Posted by SolarSystem** October 21, 2015 4:56 am

...and the Full English Breakfast... but that's just my personal theory...

**Posted by ukaunz** October 21, 2015 5:03 am

I chose the full English breakfast and still got BC

**Posted by SolarSystem** October 21, 2015 5:06 am

You probably also chose the Times for announcing your engagement..?

**Posted by ukaunz** October 21, 2015 5:10 am

Nope, married on the quiet.

**Posted by SolarSystem** October 21, 2015 5:12 am

Oh, same here!

**Posted by ukaunz** October 21, 2015 5:12 am

I also choose "go out and find adventure", "cooking", "Bashful", The Proclaimers song, "dress sharp no trainers", white chocolate and raspberry cake, London and "intellect", so I guess there are enough BC-type answers to be going on with

**Posted by SolarSystem** October 21, 2015 5:16 am

I also chose "cooking" and the Proclaimers (and well, David Tennant probably is the biggest Proclaimers fan on earth...), but apart from that we have nothing in common, ukaunz.
