That'll mean him having to back on a diet before filming the next Sherlock. Unless he's going to re-appear 'three yers later' as a buff hunk! I'd like to see the look on John's face then! Lol

There is another article in the New York Times with a benedict being interviewed about Star Trek and how he got the part. It also explains the confusion about being in Venice; it was Venice LA not Venice Italy.

Some of the link is- www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/arts/television/benedict-Cumberbatch-movie

I'm not sure if there's more to the link than this, cos I'm rubbish! Lol

I do like the description of auditioning via I-Phone technology. And a bit of good-natured dissing on 2nd series of Downton Abbey.

His sense of humour comes over strongly in these interviews.
