We are the Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society - or BCAS (which is pronounced Beecass, not B-C-A-S). This is a highly esteemed organistion with two founding members - BB and HAN. We are not the average fangirl stalkers mind.... oh no. We do have other things in our lives apart from stalking a certain someone, but it should be recognised that Mr Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch deserves some recognition for his AWESOMENESS and general gobsmacking acting. We can't promise that we will blog all the time, but hopefully keep up with the latest Cumberbatch gossip as well as our reviews and ramblings. If you feel you are a worthy Cumberbatch supporter, feel free to subscribe, comment and input into the newly founded shrine for this amazing actor. Cheers.

Sherlockian Crockery


Hello readers,

I thought I'd take this blog post to show off your BCAS bloggers' creative side, as you mainly get to experience our literary ramblings, rather than our artistic *cough* expertise *cough*. Now, this isn't something we do everyday, in fact, this isn't something I've ever attempted before, but HAN and I got painting a few weeks back. And as you can see, this wasn't any ordinary painting: this was Sherlockian Crockery painting. 

I must confess, it was HAN who came prepared with the Holmes silhouette and quote bank, which I guess makes up for her temporarily losing her Benedict Cumberbatch shirt.

And these awesomosoarus pictures were the day's creations. The plate belongs to HAN, who went for the sleek, stylish and sophisticated black and white look, combining some of the programme's best quotes, as well as the snazzy BCAS initials. I went for the mug, because you can never have too many, and decided to "Union Flag" (it's only Jack when it's flying at sea) the silhouette, and go for the "falling's just like flying" quote, with BCAS written on the handle. There was a little bit of a major doubt in my mind as to how mine was going to appear, as the blue paint was purple before the mug was glazed, and I didn't have 100% confidence in it coming out blue. Thankfully, it did.

So, that's it for this BCAS update. Thanks for reading, and as always, please feel completely free to input into the blog by commenting, subscribing and telling your friends about us. And if any of you feel compelled to make your own Sherlockian Crockery, let us know - we'd love to see them!

BB :)

The Reichenbach Fall - Quotes


Hello my dears,
So here is the thing: due to the disgusting, wrist-slitting amount of work that BB and I have been burdened with over the few weeks, we have monumentally cocked up and have not written anything on the blog about Sherlock 2 episode 2 and 3. We will rectify this glaring flaw in the near future, that is a promise. And if we don't, you can skin us, and then make us into shoes. As the quoting maestro of this little blogging duo, I also want to explain my method for getting these gems of literary genius on paper. On Sunday nights I watch the episode and fall in love with it all over again. Then during the week, I attempt to watch the episode at least twice more and write out all the quotes by hand. Then I type them up on Thursday or Friday in the week. This is a long but thoroughly enjoyable process, but of course I make a few mistakes and mis-quote some of it or miss some out whilst frantically writing the line before. To be honest, Sherlock is so gobsmackingly brilliant that I end up writing out the whole script for you. I think it would also be a great opportunity to say that I do not own any of the material in the quote posts - I am merely sharing the awesomess of Sherlock with all of the fans out there. Here are the quotes for 'The Reichenbach Fall', the last episode of Series 2:

Watson: My best friend, Sherlock Holmes, is dead.

Watson: Say thank you.
Sherlock: Why?
Watson: Just say it.
Sherlock: Thank You.

Sherlock: A tiepin, I don’t wear ties.

 Watson: Sarcasm.
Sherlock: Yes.

Sherlock: Boffin, boffin Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock: Why is it always the hat photograph (punches newspaper!)
Watson: Bachelor, bachelor John Watson.
Sherlock: What kind of hat is it anyway?
Watson: What the hell are they implying?
Sherlock: Is it a cap, why has it got two fronts?
Watson: It’s a deerstalker…frequently seen in the company of bachelor John Watson.
Sherlock: How can you stalk a deer with a hat?
Watson: Confirmed bachelor John Watson.
Sherlock: Is it some sort of death Frisbee?
Watson Ok this is too much we need to be more careful.
Sherlock: It’s got flaps, ear flaps, its an ear hat John…what do you mean more careful?
Watson: I mean, this isn’t a deerstalker now; this is a Sherlock Holmes hat. I mean that you’re not exactly a private detective anymore; you are this far from famous.
Sherlock: Oh, it’ll pass.

DING
Watson: It’s your phone.
Sherlock: Mmm, keeps doing that.

Moriarty: No Rush.

Watson: Sherlock.
Sherlock: Not now.
Watson: Sherlock.
Sherlock: Not now.
Watson: He’s back.

Watson: Intelligent fine, let’s give smart arse a wide berth.
Sherlock: I will just be myself
Watson: Are you listening to me?

Sherlock: You repel me.

Sherlock: First, James Moriarty isn’t a man at all.

Judge: Do you think you could survive for just a few minutes without showing off?

Watson: What did I say? I said don’t get clever.
Sherlock: I can’t just turn it off like a tap.

Watson: Don’t do that.
Sherlock: Do what?
Watson: The look
Sherlock: Look?
Watson: The look, you’re doing the look again.                
Sherlock: Well I cant see it can I? (Looks in mirror) It’s my face
Watson: Yes and it’s doing a thing, you’re doing a thing that says we both know what’s really going on here face.
Sherlock: We do.
Watson: No I don’t, which is why I find the face so annoying.

Sherlock: Most people knock, well then your not most people I suppose.

Moriarty: Every fairy-tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

Moriarty: What’s the final problem, I did tell you but you didn’t listen.

Moriarty: Do you find it hard to say you don’t know?
Sherlock: I don’t know.

Moriarty: Honey, you should see me in a crown.

Moriarty: Suddenly, I am Mr Sex.           

Sherlock: What is it all for?

Moriarty: Falling is just like flying, it’s just that there’s a more permanent destination.

Moriarty: I owe you.

Mycroft: We don’t want a repeat of 1972.

Watson: I was thinking about doing a drinks thing for the neighbours.
Mycroft: I don’t think you want to.

Watson: Why don’t you talk to Sherlock if you are so concerned about him? Oh God, don’t tell me
Mycroft: There’s too much history between us John. Old scores, resentments.
Watson: Nicked all his smurfs? Broke his action man?

Lestrade: Isn’t it great to be working with a celebrity?

Sherlock: Brilliant Anderson.
Anderson: Really.
Sherlock: Brilliant impression of an idiot.

Watson: Having fun?
Sherlock: Starting to.
Watson: Try to stop the smiling? Kidnapped children?

Sherlock: The more they ate the faster they died.
Watson: Sherlock.

Lestrade: Don’t let it get to you, I always feel like screaming when you walk into a room, well so do most people.

Sherlock: This is my cab. You get the next one.
Watson: Why?
Sherlock: Because you might talk.

Sherlock: He died because I shook his hand.

Sherlock: Dust is eloquent.
Mrs Hudson: What’s he on about?

Mrs Hudson: Cameras? Here, I’m in my nighty!

Watson: Sherlock, I don’t want the world believing that you’re…
Sherlock: I’m a what
Watson: That, you’re a fraud.

Watson: No one could fake being such an annoying dick all the time.

Watson: They’re all queuing up to slap on the handcuffs. Every single officer that you’ve made feel like a tit.

Watson: Sherlock, we are going to need to coordinate.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Sherlock...

Dear all,
First of all, punch me in the face. Go on punch me, in the face, didn't you hear me? I deserve to be punched due the shocking amount of time it has been since I discoursed my thoughts about BenMaBeb into this blog. I have somewhat relied on BB to keep this baby rolling. But now I am here, and that's all that matters. Well it has been about 24 hours since the credits rolled on A Scandal in Belgravia, the first episode of series (season for you yanks out there) two of the BBC's Sherlock. BB and I decided to watch it together, and so I went to BB's house and we watched it there. I must admit I failed to find my Benedict Cumberbatch t-shirt in time before I had to go out. So there I am, letting the side down again :(

Well...what did you think? I found that it was somewhat different to the first Sherlock series in as much that there was not one clear storyline from the beginning and there were many false starters, when you thought 'ohhhhh so this is the mystery', but then it was just passed over, such as the Speckled Blonde (neat reference there to the Speckled Band). The first half an hour may not have gripped me with mystery, but did certainly make be giggle. I never thought there would be a time when I would see Benedict Cumberbatch strut around and sulk like a three year old dressed in only a sheet, in the middle of Buckingham Palace. I loved it. Simple as. Moffat and Gatiss seem to be focusing more on the relationships between the characters instead of an open and shut case. I found the part with Molly Hooper, the Bart's Morgue worker at Sherlock and John's drinks party equally funny and shatteringly heart breaking as her whole evening falls apart when he pick up her present FOR HIM and then tramples on her self esteem in about twenty different ways. Tragic, but pure gold television.

However, when we did get into the nitty gritty stuff, my love for this 90 minutes of heaven grew. We get to meet Miss Adler ahem....in all her glory, when Sherlock attempts to act as a mugged priest and get into her ahem.....safe. However, he finds himself being straddled and 'de-frocked' just as John walks in....:) The smoke alarm and safe part was awesome, as was........seeing Sherlock's bedroom! Ohhhhh the periodic table <3 Mark Gatiss plays a very convincing Mycroft and I like his interaction with Martin Freeman who, by the way, is the only Watson for me.

An interesting and ongoing question raised by all Sherlock fans is: Is Sherlock straight, gay, bisexual, or asexual? Just as you thought that he and Adler were getting a bit steamy, we find out that he was actually TAKING HER PULSE. He obviously has feelings for her, but whether it is of a professional admiration for her, or he is falling for her? I think it may be a mixture of both, but we shall have to wait and see. *AHHHHHHHH* oops, sorry. Just got a text haha. Anyway, here are a few quotes that I managed to get down after watching it again. The full complete list will be up in the future:


Moriarty: Do you mind if I get that? 
Sherlock: Oh no, please, you’ve got the rest of your life.

Moriarty:I will find you and I will skin you.

Moriarty:Sorry, wrong day to die
Sherlock: Oh, did you get a better offer?

Moriarty: I you have what you say you have, I will make you rich. If you don’t I will make you into shoes.

Watson: What happened there? (makes me laugh so much, he is just as clueless sometimes as the audience are!)

Sherlock: I have a blog.
Watson: In which you innumerate 240 types of tobacco ash

Sherlock: People don’t really go to heaven when they die, they go to a special room where they are burned.

Lestrade: Any ideas?
Sherlock: 8 so far………ok four ideas…..maybe two ideas

Sherlock: Tell us from the start, don’t be boring.

Sherlock: Pass me over
Watson: Ok, but there is a mute button, and I will use it.

Watson: Are you wearing any pants?
Sherlock: No

Watson: I am seriously fighting an impulse so steal an ashtray

Watson: Are we here to see the queen? (enter Mycroft)
Sherlock: Apparently yes

Sherlock: I take the precaution of a good coat and a short friend.

Watson: Boys please, not here.

Mycroft: I’ll be mother
Sherlock: And there is a whole childhood in a nutshell

Sherlock: You have a police force of sorts and a marginally secret service why did you ask me?

Sherlock: You know I don’t concern myself with trivia.

Sherlock: Sex doesn’t alarm me
Mycroft: How would you know?

Sherlock: As Miss Adler remarks in her masthead, know when you are beaten.

Sherlock: Lateerrrrrs

Sherlock: The evidence is clear John, you see but not observe.

Sherlock: Punch me in the face
Watson: Punch you?
Sherlock: Yes punch me, in the face, didn’t you hear me?
Watson: I always hear punch me in the face when you are speaking but it is usually subtext.

Watson: I was a soldier Sherlock, I killed people.
Sherlock: You were a doctor.
Watson: I had my bad days.

Watson: I had tea too at the palace if anyone is interested.

Watson: Could you put something on please, anything at all, a napkin…

Sherlock: If I want to look at naked women I look at John’s laptop.

Adler: Brainy is the new sexy

Sherlock: Really hope you don’t have a baby in there.

American dude: Mr Archer, at the count of three shoot Dr. Watson

Watson: We should call the police
Sherlock: Yes. BANG BANG BANG BANG On their way. (BEST BIT BEST BIT BEST BIT!!!)

Sherlock: You seem very calm. Well your booby trap did just kill a man.

Adler: The keycode to my safe…shall I tell him?...my measurements

Watson: Oh I should warn you, I think Lestrade filmed you on his phone.

Sherlock: Of course I’ll be fine, I am fine, absolutely fine.

Watson: I’m next door if you need me
Sherlock: Why would I need you?
Watson:No reason at all.

Phone: Ahhh
Watson: What was that?
Sherlock: Text.

Mycroft: Oh shut up Mrs. Hudson
Watson and Sherlock: Mycroft!
Myscroft: Apologies

Sherlock: It’s a text alert, it means I’ve got a TEXT

Sherlock: Oh everybody say hello to each other, oh how wonderful.

Sherlock: Merry Christmas Molly Hooper. (kiss xx)


Molly Hooper: Who is she? How did Sherlock recognise her from not her face?

Sherlock: Smoking indoors, isn’t there one of those law things.

Sherlock: Do you ever wonder if there is something wrong with us?

Mycroft: Caring is not an advantage Sherlock

Sherlock: Merry Christmas Mycroft
Mycroft: And a happy new year

Watson: I’ll walk your dog. Look I have said it now, I’ll walk your dog.
Janette: I don’t have a dog
Watson: Oh no that was the last one

Sherlock: I hope you didn’t mess up my sock index this time.

Watson: Has he ever had any kind of girlfriend boyfriend any kind of relationship whatsoever.
Mrs Hudson: I don’t know
Watson: How do we not know?
Mrs Hudson: He’s Sherlock Holmes, who knows what goes on in that funny head of his?

Watson: Tell him you’re alive
Adler: I cant, he’ll come after me
Watson: And if you don’t I’ll come after you.

Watson: He will outlive God trying to have the last word.

Watson: We are not a couple
Adler: Yes you are

Watson: For anyone who actually cares I am not gay.

Sherlock: Don’t snivel Mrs Hudson it will do nothing to impede the flight of a bullet.

Sherlock: I dislike being outnumbered, it makes for too much stupid in the room

Sherlock: Moron

Crime in progress
Please disturb

Sherlock: Send your least irritating officer and an ambulance to Baker Street at once.

Mrs Hudson: Oh that was right on my bins!

How many times did he fall out of the window
Oh it was all a bit if a blur detective inspector, I lost count

Watson: Where is it anyway?
Sherlock: Second best place I know.
Mrs. Hudson: You left it in the pocket of your second best dressing gown. You clot.

Sherlock: Mrs. Hudson leave Baker Street? England would fall.

Sherlock: We have a client
Watson:What in your bedroom?..........Oh

Adler: I told you that camera phone was my life, I know when it is in my hand.

Watson: Hamish, John Hamish Watson. Just in case you were looking for baby names.

Watson: You’re right, flight 007.

Adler: I would have you right here, right now on this desk until you begged for mercy twice.

Moriarty: Jumbo Jet. Dear me Mr. Holmes, dear me.

Sherlock: Why would I want to have dinner if I wasn’t hungry.

Adler: If it was the last night before the world would you have dinner with me? Oh too late.
Sherlock: That’s not the end of the world, that’s Mrs. Hudson.

Adler: Ooh he is good I should have him on a leash, and maybe I will.

Sherlock: Sorry about dinner

Sherlock: If its about the Leeds triple murder, it’s the gardener, nobody noticed the earring.

I AM SHERLOCKED


Happy New Year

HAN :)

Sherlock: I have never begged for mercy in my life.

Sherlockian Quotes Episode Three - The Great Game

Ok, so its been a while, but when I started transcribing the best quotes from Sherlock, it hadn't dawned on me that there were so many! It took me over three hours of blood, sweat, broken biros and mini 'I-can't-believe-I-love-BenMaBeb-so-much' tears to do Episode three. I had written them all down BY HAND, and now I am TYPING ALL OF THEM UP FOR YOU. Don't feel bad or anything. So here goes...

Sherlock: "It's not weren't, it's wasn't"

Mr Pugh (the man arrested in Minsk, Belarus): "My old man was a butcher. I know how to handle knives. He learned us how to cut up a beast."
Sherlock: "Taught."
Mr Pugh:"What?"
Sherlock: "He taught you how to cut up a beast."
Mr Pugh: "Yeah well, then I done it."
Sherlock: "Did it."

Mr Pugh: "Without you, I'll get hung for this."
Sherlock: "No, no, no Mr Pugh, not at all...Hanged, yes.

(Sherlock shoots the wall)
John Watson: "What the hell are you doing?"
Sherlock: "Bored."
John Watson: "What?"
Sherlock: "Bored" (BANG) "Bored" (BANG) "Bored" (BANG)

John Watson: "Oh fu-...There's are head. (Shouting) Is that a head?"
Sherlock: "No just tea for me thanks."
John Watson: "No, there's a head in the fridge."
Sherlock: "Yes."
John Waston: "A bloody head."
Sherlock: "Well, where else was I supposed to put it? You don't mind do you? I got it from Barts morgue. I'm measuring the coagulation of saliva after death."

Sherlock: "Sherlock sees through everything and everyone in seconds. What's incredible though is how spectacularly ignorant he is about some things."

Sherlock: "Look it doesn't matter to me who's Prime Minister and who is sleeping with who-"
John Watson: "And if the Earth goes round the sun."
Sherlock: "Oh that again. It's not important!"
John Watson: (mutters) "Not important" (To Sherlock) "Its PRIMARY SCHOOL stuff. How do you not know that?"
Sherlock: "If I ever did I have deleted it."
John Watson: "Deleted it?"
Sherlock: (points to head) "This is my hard drive and it makes sense to only put things in there that are useful, really useful. Ordinary people fill their heads with all kinds of rubbish. It makes it hard to get to the stuff that really matters. Do you see?
John Watson: "But its the solar system!"

Sherlock: "All that matters to me is the work and without it, my brain rots. Put that in your blog, or better still, stop inflicting you opinions on the world."

Mrs Hudson: "You two had a little domestic?"

Sherlock: "Look at that Mrs. Hudson. Quiet, peaceful. Isn't it hateful?"

Sherlock: (To Mycroft) "How's the diet?"

Sherlock: "How's Sarah, John? How was the Lilo?"
Mycroft: "Sofa, Sherlock, it was the sofa."
Sherlock: "oh yes, of course."
John Watson: "How?....oh never mind."

Sherlock: "Coming?"
John Watson: "If you want me."
Sherlock: "Of course, I'd be lost without my blogger."

Sherlock: "Nice stationary."

John Watson: "That's the phone, the pink phone."
Inspector Lestrade: "From the Study in Pink?"
Sherlock: "Well obviously its not the same phone but its supposed to look like it...The Study in Pink? You read his blog?"
Inspector Lestrade: "Of course I read his blog, we all do. Do you really not know that the earth goes round the sun?"

Sherlock: "Pass me my phone."
John Watson: "Where is it?"
Sherlock: "Jacket....(Watson reaches into the jacket that SHERLOCK IS WEARING and feels for the phone) CAREFUL."

Sherlock: "Hospitals are full of hundreds of dying people. Why don't you cry by their bedside DOCTOR and see what good it does them."

Sherlock: "Gay"
Mortuary Doctor: "What?"
John Watson: "Nothing"
Sherlock: "Hey."

John Watson: "Just because because he puts a bit of product in his hair? I put product in my hair."
Sherlock: "There's a difference, you wash your hair."

John Watson: "Charming"
Sherlock: "Just saving her time, isn't that kind?"
John Watson: "No Sherlock, that wasn't kind."

John Watson: "How did I do?"
Sherlock: "Well John... really well...well you missed almost everything important but um...you know."

John Watson: "It's your brother. He's texting me now...how did you get my number?"
Sherlock: "Must be a root canal."

John Watson: (to Mycroft) "He's investigating away."

Sherlock: "I referred to her husband in the past tense. She joined in. It's a bit premature, they've only just found the car."

John Watson: "I've got change for the machine if you still want to..."
Sherlock: "Nicotine patches John, I'm doing well."

Sherlock: "I am on FIRE!"

John Watson: "Has it occurred to you -"
Sherlock: "Probably"
John Watson: "Ahem. Has it occurred to you that.."

Sherlock: "Tetanus bacteria enters the bloodstream. Goodnight Vienna."

Sherlock: "Good Samaritan"
Inspector Lestrade: "Who press gangs suicide bombers?"
Sherlock: "Bad Samaritan."

Mrs Hudson: "I should never wear cerise apparently. It drains me."

John Watson: "Sherlock, we've got deadlines."

Sherlock: "Tut tut, the bomber has repeated himself."

Sherlock: "Well obviously I lost that round, although technically I did solve the case."

John Watson: "So people come to him to get their crimes fixed up, like booking a holiday?"
Sherlock: "Novel."

Sherlock: "He wants to be distracted."
John Watson: "Well, I think you two will be very happy together."
Sherlock: "Sorry WHAT?"
John Watson: "There are lives at stake here Sherlock, actual human lives. Just so I know, do you actually care about that at all?"
Sherlock: "Will caring about them help save them?"
John Watson: "No."
Sherlock: "Well I'll continue to not make that mistake."

Sherlock: "Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did, I wouldn't be one of them."

Inspector Lestrade: "Any ideas?"
Sherlock: "Seven."

Inspector Lestrade: "But what has that got to do with the painting. I don't see."
Sherlock: "You do see, you just don't observe."
John Watson: "Yes, alright, alright girls, calm down."

John Watson: "Amazing."
Sherlock: "Meretricious."
Inspector Lestrade: "And a Happy New Year"


Sherlock: "Have a nice day!"

Sherlock: "Fortunately, I haven't been idle."

Sherlock: (looking at the stars under the Vauxhall Arches) "Beautiful isn't it?"
John Watson: "I thought you didn't care about-"
Sherlock: "Doesn't mean I can't appreciate it."

Sherlock: "The homeless network. My eyes and ears all over the city."
John Watson: "So what? You scratch their backs-"
Sherlock: "Yes and then disinfect myself."

Sherlock: "And did those whispers have a name?"

Sherlock: "Come on. I've got a little bit of burglary to do."

Sherlock: "Despite what people think, we still have a secret service."

Sherlock: "NO, NO, NO! Of course he's not the boy's father. Look at the turn ups on his jeans!"

Sherlock: "He was over the moon. Threatened me with a knighthood...AGAIN."

John Watson: "We need milk."
Sherlock: "I'll get some."
John Watson: (Big pause) "Really?"
Sherlock: "Really."
John Watson: "And some beans then?"
Sherlock: "Of course."

Moriarty: "I gave you my number. I thought you might call."

Moriarty: "Is that a British Army Browning L9A1 in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?"

Moriarty: "Jim Moriarty....HI!!"

Sherlock: "Consulting criminal...brilliant."
Moriarty: "Isn't it?!"

Moriarty: "But the flirting is over Sherlock. Daddy's had enough now!"

Sherlock: "But people have died."
Moriarty: "Thats what people DO!"

Moriarty: "Missile plans.........boring!"

Moriarty: "Westwood."

Sherlock: "Catch. You. Later."
Moriarty: "No you won't!"

Sherlock: (to John) "That thing that you did...that you offered to do, that was...ahem...good."

Well thats the final splurge of quotes for this series/season! Enjoy!

Sherlockian Quotes Episode 1 - 'A Study in Pink'

I watched the first episode of 'Sherlock' last weekend and transcribed some of the best quotes from Sherlock and other characters. I had a blast doing it. It made me realise how genius the script is for this series, and how you only get some of the more complicated jokes when watching the episode for a second time. I knew what was going to happen this time, so I could appreciate the smaller, finer details of the show. Anyway...enjoy, and if you think there are any that I have missed out, feel free to comment.
