To sum up:
Benedict will…
be in Madonna’s next music video,
be in a BMW commercial,
return to the stage (sporadically),
return to television,
be heard in Royd Tolkien’s documentary,
be 50 in July.

Queen Elizabeth II photographed during an investiture at Buckingham Palace, in November 2015, with Benedict Cumberbatch. The actor, then 39, was honoured as CBE (for services to drama and charity).
Royd Tolkien's “There's a Hole in my Bucket” documentary, narrated by Benedict many years ago, will finally celebrate its world premiere at the Doc Edge Festival 2026 in Auckland, NZ: docedge.nz/doc-edge-fes...
Here’s a video about Royd and Mike, who passed away in 2015: youtu.be/NOr7hXGrTvU
I don’t have much reach within Cumberbatch’s fandom (at most on X), but I want to support “Coral Gardeners” for Benedict’s 50th. Is it best to adopt/donate individually; or to raise funds first as a fandom? coralgardeners.org
#50CoralsForBenedict hashtag? Should be 50+ obviously. Please share.
Benedict will return to the theatre as he joins the cast of “Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4”, which he had to cancel the last time he was cast. The production raises funds for Park Theatre in London, UK: parktheatre.co.uk/events/whodu...

“The Thing With Feathers”, 2025 🐦⬛🪶
I need people to stop using Harry Styles’ songs at random in any number of their social media posts. He’s so much better than your background noise.
Frankly, I need that not every single clip online has any kind of unnatural soundbite or added audio to it.

Missing Ben Ben. I hope he’s well no matter what he’s up to.
I got reminded of a holiday, a wonderful one, one of the best, that took place twenty years ago.
20 years ago. HOW?!
I like my Brits in yellow trousers.
