I don’t really have much to say about these photos of Benedict Cumberbatch. They came in yesterday after I had already written up yesterday’s Cumbername post. He was photographed on Tuesday night filming Sherlock (Episode 3 or Season 3) in London with Martin Freeman. They were filming in some kind of pizza parlor/coffee shop. As you can see, Cumby seems to sipping some coffee or tea. I do like the way he holds a mug. Is that wrong? Is it wrong to think he looks really sexy holding a coffee mug? I like to imagine that he’s sitting across from me, going off on some 20-minute long tangent about music and food and the best way to dance to Michael Jackson.
I’m absolutely sick about not seeing Sherlock for months. I can’t even describe the angst and sadness I feel about it. I want it now. Right now. Sherlock has been away too long. And quite honestly, I think we’re probably going to see The Fifth Estate, Twelve Years a Slave and August: Osage County before Sherlock. Thankfully, Cumby will be all over the place in the coming weeks and months. Which really is a nice consolation.
So, enjoy these photos. Have a cup of coffee with Cumby.

I bet there’s Scotch in that mug. I want it to be Scotch.
I want it to be a Fizzy Hiddles in there.
I hope it isn’t a nice cup of Bovril. I want it to be hot chocolate made by mixing cream and Nutella. Very thick. I have good reasons for this.
Holycrap, I have never considered doing that before. Dear god, that sounds good. Maybe with a hefty dollop of Cointreau thrown in for good measure.
OMG that sounds divine. I want!
It’s a faff – you have to do it in a saucepan as if you were making a roux – but worth it. I was thinking Tia Maria? But Cointreau sounds good.
That seems like a lot of work. I’ll go mix the Pervy Tombanger instead.
Baileys, ladies.
Baileys hot chocolate is the bomb.
Castilian hot chocolate with hot pepper. Just a touch.
Oh man. It’s going to be a hot chocolate testing evening. And a tipsy one too, because I’ll obviously have to begin with both a Fizzy Hiddles and a Pervy Tombanger.
It’s me in that cup. He’s drinking a steamy hot cup of Judyjudy. Mmmm …hmmm…
Mmmm…Bailey’s.
That is my problem with this damn show. Not the 3 epis but the time in between. Gah!!! 3 epis once every 2 years?! Are you kidding me?? I love the show but they do torture the fandom.
Boo! I call false advertising on the title of the thread!!!
So, in answer to your implicit question: yes, I would hit it. With all the force of a consulting detective falling off a hospital roof.

lol
I think that should be the subtitle to all threads, don’t you?
To (mis) quote John Watson: “I always hear that when Kaiser talks.”
Ouch! Also, I just re-read The Adventures of the Empty House, in advance of Season 3. I am currently on Book 6 of the Sherlock series 🙂
I was waiting for a new Cumby post to share a mental image straight from Simon Pegg’s Twitter with you guys. Few hours ago he posted a photo of Martin Freeman looking happily at some picture, followed by the description: “The picture Martin received was an original work, in oil and charcoal, depicting a naked Benedict Cumberbatch, riding a unicorn.” Enjoy.
I love Simon Pegg. Nothing beats Cumby and the modified rubix cube, though.
Unicorn: i.e., TommyAnnE after he has had a Pervy Tommybanger.
*smooches thanks for the tweet in SP’s direction*
I think Benny the Bitch and Tommy-omelette should re-enact the last scene from Shaun of the Dead. In the shed, with the collar and the biting, but possibly without the gaming.
When do we get it? In the UK? Is it going on the Christmas schedules?
I keep hearing January. Something like last time they aired it.
Sue Vertue has been knocking down rumors on her twitter whenever a release date is posted on sites. So far, she’s denied October and January (last I read). Whenever it’s released in the UK, it’ll be at least three months before it’s in the states, depending on the PBS affiliate in the viewer’s region and when they fit it on the schedule for Masterpiece Theatre Mystery.
If that happens in the states again..the pointless delay..then pbs can kiss my ass. I will go to my other sources to watch.
I was hoping for Christmas. As a bastion against the onslaught of horrible specials and other tish tosh masquerading as festive.
Like Moffat’s annual Doctor Who Christmas debacle?
Yes. And the Downton Christmas Special. And the Call the Midwife Christmas Special. And the Strictly Christmas Special. And the every-other-programme-with-tinsel-because-it’s-Christmas non-Christmas Specials.
Christmas with the Pogues. Wocker Man everything else.
Which were all filmed in August, which is cheating.
Kaiser misses her boo (cumby) on the telly lol
Well, I can meet him for coffee before he goes for that beer with Matt Damon…
So basically when this epic show comes back on we will get 3 weeks worth of epicness then cumby and co. will abandon us again. I can’t just thinking about it..I f#%king can’t.
Yes! I need this show right now to. It’s been too long. Interested to see if Ben will finally win a bafta, emmy, or golden globe for this show next award season. I feel like he should have one by now.
Umf, love him. Just love him. Need Sherlock now. But I’m definitely comforted by the thought that he’s going to totally REWEL the theatres for the rest of 2013.
I love when his hair is curly. Ugh I just want to pull it.
He has very sensitive follicles you know 😉
Even better *winks*
Yes! His Sherlock hair is the best.
Agreed! *Sigh.* I heart him. And def. would hit it.
Scrolled past photo number 6 at speed – thought it was David Cameron. Scared the bejesus out of me!
“I like to imagine that he’s sitting across from me, going off on some 20-minute long tangent about music and food and the best way to dance to Michael Jackson“.
Apparently, that would be inside a glass prison:

*hugs Eve*
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Welcome back, milady!
Tell me you’re back to shank. It’s been f@cking omnishambles around here without you.
ETA: looked at the bottom pic. Damn.
Awww…I’m not exactly back — it’s just that I saw those and thought of you (all).
The bottom (like, literally!) picture…well, I’m Brazilian — and we are what I like to call “The Ass People” so it only makes sense I provide the ass shots, right?
That’s back enough for me. I look forward to the familiar head rush that comes when I feel your blade between my ribs.
Eve!!!! *wishes she could hug Eve but bows instead*
:*
Eve, please come back, we miss you.
You’re all very sweet — I may never be able to shank any of you again.
*hugs everybody before leaving*
Pfft. Drama Queen.
Eve, dearest! There’s been an Adrien Brody post! And so much Cumby! And Fanty’s been such a loyal knight! COME BACK!!!
Eve! Welcome back! (I’ve gone back to my old moniker!)
Eve, I’d only just got comfortable and then you left. I wanted more!
Come back Eve!
I just saw “the ass picture” for the first time this morning. It’s GORGEOUS. His proportions in that picture are perfection.
@Eve,
Hey, that is a beautiful ass picture! If Brazilians are the Ass People, then I want to be Brazilian.
How long would I need to live there to become an Ass Person? 😉
It’s great to see you here, Eve!
*Hugs*
EVE!! I’ve been lurking a couple years and this is my very first post. Please please come back soon! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your comments/stories/death threats (LOL). I think I can speak for a lot of people by saying this place isn’t the same without you. xoxo
he reminds me of a Paddington bear I had as a child; for this reason I can’t feel the sexytime vibe.
He looks like an otter. Or, maybe, looking into the abyss, the otter looks like him:

I love that second picture with his hand under his chin…he looks like he thinking about me, yeah? CAN”T WAIT TILL SEASON 3…sry for the shouting!
I’m just glad he is back to being willowy season one Sherlock, with cheekbones in full force. I didn’t mind him being a bit bulked up, but this seems to suit him better.
I don’t get the obsession with this guy. I guess more for you ladies.
Besides his brilliant acting, gorgeous accent, sultry voice, smokin’ bod (did you see his ass cheek and thigh linked above by Eve?), it’s hard to say…
Can’t wait to see his Turing look. And weirdly, I wanna see him with Ikea Knightely again.
He better attend the Emmys tho. I hear they’ll start shooting on the 12th. He needs to have bonding time with Damon!!!
Wow you really love him!!I see many posts on him but THIS ONE! This whole post had nothing except the fact that he was filmed drinking a cup of coffee. hahaha
Gotta love your enthusiasm for him 😉
I do agree on the fact that it’s been TOO long for Sherlock. Love that show.
Oh, I’m with you on the Sherlock angst. I am so in love with that show, and one of my absolute favorite episodes is Scandal in Belgravia. <3 I recently watched Star Trek Into Darkness purely for the Cumberbatch, I'm excited for his profile to really blow up.
Big Sherlock fan, but SiB is my least favorite. I think I’m spoiled because CSI already did the whole dominatrix thing and so much better with Grissom and Lady Heather. LOVED those characters together and apart. Don’t care for Irene Adler at all and that whole “closest thing Sherlock has experienced of love” nonsense. There’s nothing between Irene and Sherlock that qualifies as love. Something, but not love.
Yeah. I mean I loved asib because it was fun but also hated the way they did Irene. And thats the reason episode 3 of season 2 became my favorite.
Moffat caught alot of hell for that character being written like that. I thought they could of still kept her sexiness but not made her into some sex slave whore. And I dont think it was love either but he admired her because she kept him on his toes mentally.
I can definitely understand why people didn’t like her, and when I initially heard of the dominatrix angle I kind of rolled my eyes… but I found that when I got to the end of the episode, I loved her character so much. She was complex, she was strong and intellectually curious, and I appreciated that her ultimate weakness was Sherlock himself. I adored his uncomfortable reactions to her, and the super outlandish ending.
I realized that fans of the novels were disappointed with that implication of love (because it’s not like that at all in the books), but I thought this interpretation was neat, especially since Sherlock is a pretty sexless character and that episode (and her character) showed another side of him. Granted, I’ve never seen CSI so maybe I would have felt the same as you, Maureen, regarding the novelty aspect of it.
The Lady Heather character was very multi-layered (she lasted for many episodes, so it wasn’t just a one-shot thing) and IIRC she had a doctorate in psychology which is where her real intellectual love lay. The dominatrix part was a real part of her, too, but it wasn’t all of her. It was also heavily implied that Grissom availed himself of her “services” but this was not a centerpiece of their relationship. The centerpiece was their ability to understand each other and have compassion for each other in a way that they couldn’t experience with anyone else. I liked that CSI didn’t make this into a “love story”. Instead the writers understood that human beings can have many types of connections with other human beings without it being romantic love. Because this is what real life is like. I’m totally fine with the way Sherlock’s responses were written on the show, especially when he became tongue-tied. But I tired of her and her banter and the over-use of the bits with the cellphone. OMG, those cellphones!! But guess what? I created a text alert ring tone for my iPhone using Sherlock’s line “It’s a text alert. It means I’ve got a texxxxt.” So nice to hear BC’s voice, too. HAHA.
EDIT: By the way, I just remembered that recently when Benedict was doing press in Japan he was asked about Sherlock and Irene and he repeated the same tired meme about “Sherlock experience the closest he’s come to love” blah blah but I swear he sounded like he didn’t even believe in what he was saying.
LOL @ your ringtone. My ringtone is the theme song of the show 😀 haha. All that talk of SIB made me want to re-watch it last night… another reason why I loved that episode is because of gems like these:
“You must remember, Sherlock, I was a soldier. I killed people!”
“You were a doctor!”
“I had bad days!
Grissom + Lady Heather! Yes!!! And loving seeing that mentioned in a Sherlock thread. (I also preferred the former).
I really don’t see the appeal in him. He drinks coffee? So does a billion other people. STOP THE PRESS!
Have you never had a crush on someone and just thought everything they did was cute? Even the most banal, everyday things?
you must be new here.
+1
But I can’t criticize, because I used to be her.
I honestly rather read about this guy then most celebs that are posted on here. Atleast he has real talent and people enjoy what he does. Can’t wait for his next several movies & Sherlock.
This is why Cumberbatch is my idol. You do one thing and bitches be all over you like flies.
From what I hear he is adorable in august:Osage County. I heard he sings and plays the piano. Other things but I won’t spoil everything.
Dear Mr. Cumberpoop (or whatever your name is):
1982 called. They want their jeri curl perm back.
Um, the hair is for his Sherlock character. He doesn’t walk out of his house like that.
FYI I believe the New York Pizza place he’s in is currently super hot in London for some reason. It’s where Patrick Stewart tweeted that he had his first slice of pizza, New York fold and all.
Well, I’ll very soon be watching the (hopefully) future son-in-law sipping coffee, just like that, out of the exact same mug. Doesn’t sound like much, I know, except that in minutes, we’ll be looking at a fella that is the dead ringer to Benedict Cumberbatch. Dead ringer, I tell you. And smart. And funny.. And eloquent. Sigh….
The Place P.Stew had pizza was Smilers in brooklyn, where he just bought a house, it was actually New York Pizza, he’s not so dumb as to think London could approximate it in any capacity.
