So Batched: More Cumbercupcakes--!


From the Graham Norton Show -- with Harrison Ford! -- to portraying Smaug... to Jimmy Fallon and their Rickman-off... to the cover of TIME Magazine.  Ben has been very busy!

What did Benedict do lately?

Well... he was on the Graham Norton Show Friday 13-Oct-13.  With Harrison Ford.  (Pics here via Radio Times.)  Which I haven't hadn't seen (yet!), but it's on Youtube.  Right???  [ETA:  Yes, I did see it yesterday, and no, I don't have a link for entire show. Yet.]

That day, Ben was interviewed on the Today Show -- and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon -- and I've lost track of what else.  All in one day, mind you!

I think Ben was going for the gold medal in "I never sleep, do you?" Olympics.  Seriously.  How many shows did you DO in one day, Ben? you're insane.  ("You're just getting that now?")

Little Favour iTunes' NUMBER ONE!

You can buy Little Favour on iTunes.  Taking pre-orders of 5-November-2013.

VODzilla has a short piece about Little Favour, which includes the official trailer, in case you missed it.

ScreenRant is a bit more spoilery.  As is WETA, but hey, with news like this!

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Short Film ‘Little Favour’ to Get Worldwide iTunes release

And this is what I was looking for -- how high up Little Favour is in the iTunes.  From PREORDERS.  Holy mackerel!  Here's the press release as of 24-Oct-13.

Number frickin' one!

BTW, some of the info on these sites will be duplicated.  I've read them already.

Immortal words: "Get to work on that, internet."

And they were written by none other than Benedict Cumberbatch himself.

I kid you not.  Go thee and look up his Reddit AMA chat; here's the synopsis at Geekiary.  Expect to find plenty of sass and also his trademark intelligence.


Yes, the little picture really says:  "Hi Reddit! Ask me... anything...?!? X"

I made the picture extra large so you could read that, but just in case you cannot, it's deliberate.  8)

Many thanks to my Tweep jaggedrain who alerted me to this news today.  So I found out almost immediately: woot!!!  Let us celebrate!!

ETA:  Oh yeah, here's the link from PBS itself, which includes the EW link.  It is indeed official.  Now we just wait on the Beeb.  I predict a run at Amazon Real Soon.

Last week, Mark and Ben...

Things I missed recently:

Mark Gatiss' birthday was 17-October-13 and I forgot... 8(  I'm glad the rest of fandom didn't!  Such as the Gatiss Guild, who posted pics here.  Mark says this and that.

Setlock, oh YEAH.

The Hat.  Grinning, Sherlock still wearing the Hat and his new blue scarf too.

A not too pleased Sherlock on Baker Street.  Gotta stop letting Sherlock go in there, I tell you; see, even John agrees!

I don't think you're SUPPOSED to do that to your face, Martin.  This, now, that's better (monochrome).  Maybe.  Even more setlock pics here.



Setlock or safelock -- or just plain Batched?  You decide!  Monochrome, in costume but almost too Ben [smiling] than Sherlock (still lovely!).  Smiling safelock of Ben as SH and also here from the side.


Deductions and speculation [really!] plus setlock pictures, which may prove too spoilery for some readers.  I just skimmed this, but I'd already seen some of it.  Also includes some of the images seen in the BBC s3 trailer.
