Regardless of what side of the proverbial Brexit fence you’re sitting on, I think there’s one thing we can all agree on: things are a little bit of a mess right now. In the past few weeks alone, it’s been an exceptionally tumultuous time in UK politics — from a leadership challenge to the growing prospect of leaving the EU without a deal. 

But, just when you thought you couldn’t bear to hear that cursed six-letter b-word again, Channel 4 is serving up a dollop of referendum-themed drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rory Kinnear.  Read more…

Benedict Cumberbatch helped fight off a group of muggers attacking a cyclist in London, a mere stone’s throw from Sherlock Holmes’ Baker Street home.

“The cyclist was lucky, Benedict’s a superhero,” said Cumberbatch’s Uber driver, who witnessed the whole thing and eventually joined to help.

Cumberbatch reportedly leapt out of his Uber to help the struggling cyclist, who was being attacked by no less than four assailants. Bystanders told The Sun that he shouted “Leave him alone!” and then pulled the muggers off their victim. Read more…

If you have a role for Benedict Cumberbatch but his female co-stars aren’t receiving equal pay, he’s going to say no.

The Doctor Strange and Sherlock star is using his sizable platform to push for positive, necessary change. He said as much in a recent interview with Radio Times, during which he articulated his thoughts on gender equality very clearly.

If there’s one thing we learned from the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, it’s that superheroes tend to do a lot of bickering.

All those big egos, suddenly meeting each other for the first time — it’s bound to happen, isn’t it?

Well, in the 60-second clip above which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night, there’s even more of it. Specifically between Iron Man and a curt Doctor Strange, and specifically involving ice cream. (Well, also Thanos.)

Avengers: Infinity War comes to theatres on 27 April. Read more…
