SO, I think we were all a little shocked and perhaps a little weirded out by the small video which cropped up on YouTube after the Oscars. When Benedict Cumberbatch revealed his party trick – his ridiculously bendy hands… Given how far back he can pull his fingers, I would hazard a guess that our […]
Expanding your Vocabulary with Benedict – Part 1 One great aspect of being a Benedict Cumberbatch fan is that he’s always (inadvertently) inspiring us to improve and expand our vocabulary. Reading interviews every so often sends me scuttling to a dictionary to look up yet another word I’d never heard before. When he used “obfuscate” […]

Firstly, he hosted the Laureus World Sports Awards in Kuala Lumpur, where he demonstrated an excellent sporting knowledge and a real appreciation for many of the world’s stars and their achievements. And, he revealed a little-known glimpse into his past life as […]
I guess we are all aware that Benedict will be gracing the London stage as Hamlet and I am sure I speak for all of us when saying that we can’t wait! Cumberbatch will star as the Danish prince at the Barbican Theatre from August to October 2015. Tickets will go on sale this May […]
