Here is another lovely thing for MNDA. Benedict introduces a poem read by an MND patient. A wonderful video that deserves to be watched as a whole:

Found this on tumblr

“On flights, I go through box sets. Sherlock – that’s the best series I’ve seen for a while. Benedict Cumberbatch is SO good,” says Murray, cover star of the new issue of Radio Times magazine.

Murray says he’s even given US Holmes update Elementary a go, but that it’s “just not the same” – “for me, Sherlock Holmes is Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s unbelievable…”

Who would you choose to play yourself in a film of your life? “It would have to be Benedict Cumberbatch. I like him. I’ve never met him, but I love the character he plays in Sherlock. And I think he’s a great actor. Can he do a Scottish accent though? I’ve heard he’s a tennis fan, so I’ll mention it to him and we’ll get this film off the ground [smiles].”

I've always said Andy looks like Benedict.
None of my Scottish non-Sherlockian colleagues agree with...glad Andy himself does and that he has the taste to be a Sherlockian.

Benedict's birthday is coming up soon, and the Batch of Kindness campaign is a lovely way to celebrate

Nice one.

Well it's after 7am here, so I guess I'm first to be able to say: Happy Birthday, Benedict!

And there's still time to donate to his favourite charities

I already did some weeks ago. Amazing to see how much his fans are willing to give for good causes chosen by himself.

Oh, it's the big 40 for Benedict this time...life begins!

A big Happy Birthday to Ben!

I hope he has an awesome day with the people who matter to him!

**Posted by gently69** July 19, 2016 6:37 am

Happy Birthday... old man.

I wonder if he also has problems with that figure.

**Posted by besleybean** July 19, 2016 7:26 am

He has achieved so much in his career and in his personal life I don't think he'll mind so much now he is married and has a child.
I know he's about 5 years behind on his original schedule, but at least these things have happened for him now.

Have a lovely birthday, Benedict! Much health and happiness to you.

And the fundraiser is drawing nearer the magical 10,000 mark.

**Posted by ukaunz** July 19, 2016 10:02 am

Benedict is so excited about his birthday!

**Posted by besleybean** July 19, 2016 11:24 am

Tee Hee.
He's got the hottest day of the year for it!

Big happy birthday, Ben! I hope he has a wonderful day!

But I do feel slightly sad that he's done with his 30s...

**Posted by besleybean** July 19, 2016 4:44 pm

I don't, he's catching me up!

**Posted by Ivy** July 19, 2016 7:15 pm

Benedict says thank you for your birthday wishes, he just read them

**Posted by nakahara** July 19, 2016 8:29 pm

Happy birthday, Benedict!

I need some help

Does anyone remember about the dancing video Ben didn't want out in public? It was from a friends wedding I think... has anyone seen it?

Was he dancing to Thriller?

The deal is that someone made a lovely video of Ben doing 30 different impressions... The last one being one where he dances to Michael Jacksons Thriller...

In case that's the video in question I'll remove it from my Facebook wall...
