Sherlock, Cabin Pressure, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston sum up this blog pretty well, with occasional other things dropping in.

Favourite Ben/Martin moments [1/2]

"Benedict and I do have this chemistry on-set, you know, that doesn’t even particularly have anything to do with good acting - even though, obviously, he’s a brilliant actor - but there’s something more personal about it, you know, it’s like love… Oh God, why did I phrase it that way?" - Martin "Although I really appreciate thousand of fans in Japan came to welcome me at the airport, the happiness because of what Martin said totally can beat that." - Benedict

Ahhh Uskerty, my all-time favourite Cabin Pressure episode!!!!!

1. Kilkenny Wikipedia page

2. seed + cake = seed cake, right??? (plus it's organic, as I imagine Mrs Herlihy's homemade version would be)

3. pineapple juice - the captain's brand of choice

4. OK, so maybe it's not technically a Frisbee, but it was the closest thing I could find, and it would probably quite accurately imitate a gently-lobbed one if thrown (I didn't dare try in case I'd get not-so-gently lobbed out of Tesco for it)

5. just one bee, not a lot a lot a lot, to Martin's relief no doubt

6. stuffed sheep (not real, but stuffed nonetheless)

Timbuktu scavenger hunt!

1. Timbuktu Timbuktu Wikipedia page

2. camel camels (or maybe just camels coz they're not real. But they ARE camel in colour, so...? Does that mean that real, camel-coloured camels should actually be camel camel camels? If the rules of Yellow Car are combined with the carrying out of the hat crime?)

3. Talisker Talisker

4. a book about Africa Africa

5. a pizzeria pizzeria

6. Welcome to Timbuktu! (I didn't really spend ages on it)

Qikiqtarjuaq scavenger hunt!!! One of my favourtie episodes :D

1. Qikiqtarjuaq Wikipedia page

2. some baked potatoes (within a delicious meal that poor Martin could only dream of!)

3. egg whisk, very useful for escaping from polar bears

5. a lemon taped to my hat at EuroAirtdotCon2014

(yes I realise 4 and 5 are the wrong way around but the pics fit better like this, so I swapped the numbers too :P )

4. OK so I cheated a bit with the pogo stick... but it IS a polar bear bouncing on it. :D

6. "Polar Bears are BRILLIANT!" PowerPoint presentation by Arthur Shappey (steward of the aeroplane and bear expert, occasional guest lecturer for Unbeaten Track Travel)

Ahh, jelly babies are on manual, which means it must be Ottery St Mary day!

1. Ottery St Mary Wikipedia page

2. a yellow car (in Cremona :D )

3. keys lost in a piano (and by "lost in" I mean "sitting on", and when I say "a piano" I mean "a picture of a keyboard". But close enough, right? :P )

4. John Finnemore himself, me, and an otter (I don't remember who I borrowed it from, but whoever it was - thank you again!!!)

Sadly I'm far too tired to do 5. and 6. today, but better than nothing, eh? :D
