Yes, to paraphrase Benedict: far too groovy and sexy to be a detective.

Sweet. I would have liked to hear more of what he was reading, though, we only got to hear him read for a few seconds. I've never seen that book that he was reading, so I was curious what else it was about - doing laundry?

I think it was "Knuffle Bunny" by Mo Willems, about a little girl who loses her favourite toy but she's too young to be able to articulate this to her parents, so she just screams and cries. The story is better than my summary of it I remember reading it to my kids, Mo Willems is a great author. You can probably find a reading of it on YouTube

On that pic he looks like "ein Schluck Wasser in der Kurve"... somehow...
Is there an English expression for that idiom?

Washed out, or wrung out?!

Wow, I just noticed what the newspaper in this screencap says:
"Monkey Glands: [New?] Research"
I never noticed that canon reference before!

That's a canon reference? Nice detail work on the part of the designers.

In "Made in Dagenham" (2010) Rupert Graves doesn't play a nice guy, but it's not that small a role - I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it?

"Made in Dagenham" is a wonderful movie along the same lines as "Pride", meaning an entertaining, well-made, unsentimental retelling of a little piece of British 20th century history. Only the subject is different - "Made in Dagenham" deals with the revolutionary idea that women should receive the same pay as men for equivalent work (there's an absolutely fanstastic speech by Miranda Richardson as Employment Minister Barbara Castle). In order to get it, the women sewing Ford's car seats went on strike - and the rest is history.

I highly recommend getting the DVD, it's an absolutely great "little" movie....
