The perfect start to my day. He could read numbers out of the phone book and I'd be thrilled.

It's only just come to Australia, but I've recorded all the episodes screened so far, and I keep replaying them.

If you can get it on Netflix, do- I highly recommend it.

They make three or four 90-minute episodes a year, or sometimes every two years. Superb writing and direction, as well as wonderful acting from Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr Watson. Set in modern day, very clever and amusing.

I give it 10 out of 10.

He's not traditionally "good-looking", but there's something that draws your attention. The eyes – lovely colour, and very intelligent and humorous. Great mouth.

And that voice. Washing over you, like a fine, mellow wine.

I should get a grip ….

The fact that his face is not "traditionally good-looking" as you say, probably makes him all that yummier, IMO anyway.

He takes his work very seriously, but not himself.

Now the scruffy bad boy is fine when and if you're in a dirty girl mood, but for the long haul a BC is the first choice. Plus, he's pretty arm candy.
