Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman to Lead 'War of the Roses' Remake

"The Roses’ is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,” said Searchlight president Matthew Greenfield announcing the project. “With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life.”

So Matthew Greenfield at Searchlight is dirty...BEYOND dirty. No comment on Olivia Colman as of yet, but we all know now that actors and actresses usually have NO SAY I'm the projects they're currently put in. This film should not be made. It's another horrible, cruel joke to play on the fans of Benedict Cumberbatch and the people pushing it are on the same level as that jackal Jay Z and the NFL This is pure, sick, Freemason, ancient bullshit. Also, how is it this project is STILL in development, when it's BEEN in development since 2017?

And Benedict, if you go along with this project, it will be revealed to the public that you are going along with your own public humiliation, in order to enrich human traffickers.

Was Clarence really not enough for you?

Or Eric?

How about pissing on yourself in Louis Wain?

AND HEY, DISNEY...BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!

So basically, transwitch Marina Abramovic (Michael Maxwell) sponsored Conrad Shawcross and Cunter under the pretext that they were both exhibiting work at her NYC gallery. Did she also help them get work Visas? Now, Shawcross may be a nepobaby but at least he's a legit artist. Cunter only got a pass because she was an Epstein honeypot hoe and fellow divine androgyne cultist. These people don't do anything for free though, so Cunter was promptly sent to the Hamptons to work with/for Harvey Weinstein. Uncle Harvey was BFFs with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, remember? Meaning that Cunter connects to their trafficking ring 4X. Their upline manager Les Wexner is part of the Cleveland Mafia. He in turn has links to the Bronfmans up in Toronto, Cafritz' in DC and the Florida ratlines. Isn't it interesting how Cunter, Heard and Markle were all recruited by the same people? That explains why they use the same playbook, important because HCA owns Portland Hospital. Sara Latham is connected to both their VP and Killary who is a high-ranking witch. Sara Latham works in PR and even repped Markle for a time. It's an incestuous clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Hello Ben.

Not sure if you'll even take the time to read this. But between the P. Diddy scandal, Harry and Meghan's corporate "empire" falling apart, and that shareholders meeting at Disney fast approaching, I figured I'd at least make one last attempt to convince you to save your skin while you still can.

I'm not gonna be mean about it, I'm not even gonna be pedantic. Rather, I'm just gonna say this.

By refusing to get your act together and save yourself you're letting your fans down.

You're letting me and the rest of the skeptic community down.

You're letting @gatorfisch and especially @aeltri down.

You're letting what few friends you have left in the entertainment industry down.

And most importantly, you're letting yourself down.

You don't deserve this.

You know you don't deserve this.

You didn't do anything to deserve the nightmare you've been subjected to for nearly a decade. You're basically being punished for the crime of existing and being more talented than your enemies, and by not disowning them, you're letting them win.

But that's not how this story has to end; you still have some time and sway, not to mention powerful allies in the industry. Take advantage of them. Let them help you. Otherwise, you'll be hung out to dry along with the people who've wronged you, and I don't think you want that.

So use your resources. Take back your life so you can start to heal. Get back to being the man you used to be. The man we fell in love with a decade ago. Because you're much more likeable when you're just being yourself.

Or rather...well, let me put it this way. If Nelson Peltz gets that seat on the Disney Shareholders board he's gunning for, changes will be coming. If you don't toe the line, there will be repercussions.

And frankly, after the way you were treated on MoM, I think you'd like nothing more than a redemption on that third one.

Or, you can have more of this;

Granted, it's just a rumor. But I think you're just as sick of the multiverse shenanigans as the fans are.

Anyway, that's all I have to say, for now. I leave the ball in your court. Good luck.

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 384

Last episode, Smithy was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car that had crashed down a bankside. There was a bottle of vodka on the dash and Louise had died in RTA.

This episode, Smithy slowly comes round not knowing where he is or what has happened. Yvonne supports his neck and tells him to keep still as Tony urges the ambulance to come quicker.

June calls Adam and gets him to come back in, telling him what has happened. She says Smithy was found unconscious at the wheel of his car by a man out walking his dog who saw nothing else. The accident was logged at 6.15pm - when he'd still be on duty - and he was in 'half blues' (his uniform shirt with his coat over the top). Adam asks June to let him know as soon as Smithy is able to talk as thankfully it looks like it's just cuts and bruises at the moment.

At the hospital, Yvonne whispers to Tony that Smithy doesn't yet know that Louise is dead. She has to get him to take a breathalyser and the hospital say he can be released as he's got minor cuts and bruises and is drunk/starting to hang. Smithy asks Yvonne what's happening because he's got a banging headache and feels really sick and she gets him to take the breathalyser. Smithy is literally stunned that he's over the limit and struggles off the bed to grab the machine to do it again himself.

Smithy panics, not knowing what is going on or how he got to the hospital or why he's there, begging them to tell him what is going on. Yvonne has to arrest him as Tony gently breaks the news that a woman was knocked down by his car. Smithy is clearly stunned and asks if she's okay.... Yvonne has to tell him not only that the woman has died... but that it was Louise. Smithy passes out - only stopped from hitting the floor by Yvonne and Tony holding him up.

June has to book a clearly shell-shocked Smithy in at the station, asking Yvonne to go see the Superintendent. A silent Smithy shakes his head to refuse a solicitor or a fed rep and Tony literally has to propel him across the floor to get him to move for an official breathalyser test. He blows a 47 which is over the limit of 35.

Adam asks Yvonne what happened and she tells him that Louise was hit at speed by a car that drove away. Smithy's registration plate was found at the scene and he was found at the wheel of his car a short distance away. Yvonne tells him she doesn't know if Smithy could have knocked Louise over - but the evidence points that way.

The FME tells June Smithy isn't fit for interview so he's bailed until 8.30am the next day when the DPS will interview him. Smithy tells Yvonne there's noone to contact for him as he can't face anyone else so she tells him he's coming back with her. He tries to resist but she won't take no for an answer as he needs someone there for him whilst he comes to terms with the entire situation.

Adam arrives takes him aside, asking him why he left when he was still on duty. Smithy tells him he wanted to speak to Louise and tells Adam he doesn't know why, he just had to see her. He almost passes out again and Adam helps him to a chair as he cries. "I don't understand, I don't know why any of this is happening to me." Adam comforts him and strongly advises him to request both a solicitor and a fed rep - not just for the sake of his job but also for the chance he might go to prison. He tells him to go home with Yvonne and try and sleep and hopefully things will start to come back to him.

Smithy does exactly that and Yvonne goes to put the kettle on, leaving him alone for the first time since he found out what had happened. Smithy glances mournfully around the room before breaking down heavily in tears as he struggles to process the last few hours.

Yvonne has to tell the relief that Smithy has been arrested over Louise's death. She also tells them the DPS is running an investigation internally over it. Roger and the rest of the relief mock that news whilst Emma looks strangely uncomfortable.

"Looks like we're leaving just in time, the DPS have arrived." growls Roger. "How can you tell it's him?". "The smell, Lewis. The smell and the look on his face like his mother couldn't run fast enough away from her cousin if you get my drift." Good job that the DCI talking to Adam isn't any of their fathers on the quiet, hey Emma?

Frank Keane isn't overly popular in Sun Hill. This is not least because he's investigating Smithy, that he's part of the DPS... but he's also the man who investigated Jack when he was accused of taking backhanders (Episodes 378/379). "He's the best man for the job." Adam assures Jack. "If you're sure, but if you ask me, he'd be knitting at the foot of the guillotine." Jack mutters.

Zain asks Jack what they're going to do about Smithy. Jack says the DPS are handling it and they're not allowed to. Zain isn't impressed and insists that they don't know Smithy and they won't be able to solve the case correctly. Jack tells Zain he feels exactly the same way but what can they do about it? Zain fixes Jack with a Paddington Bear Stare. They can work it of course!

Jack relents and agrees to let Zain make some discreet calls. "I've had enough of Keane to last me a lifetime."

Frank asks Adam what Smithy's account was. Adam admits he couldn't remember much. Frank scoffs unsympathetically and suggests now he's sobered up he'll remember more. Frank asks if he knows Louise and Smithy were having an affair. Adam admits that he knew and that Smithy had told him it had ended. Frank points out that it clearly hadn't and berates him for lying to which Adam insists it was probably to keep his private life private and that noone at the station thinks Smithy had anything to do with it. Frank just shrugs, telling Adam they now have a witness that they're tracing and to hope that he is singing from the same hymn sheet. The witness has been spotted on the CCTV from the area. Admittedly it's not clear but he can be seen in the telephone box - it's the man who rang 999.

JT tries to get Yvonne's attention to the front desk but she's too busy to come through and hurries off so Adam has to be contacted . It turns out it's Smithy at the front desk, having to be signed in and 'collected' for his interview.

Zain comes to Smithy and tries to reassure him that he is doing everything he can to clear his name. He offers to talk it through with him and they go into the front interview room whilst Smithy waits for Adam and Frank. Smithy tells Zain he thought he could get to Louise and back within half an hour. He wanted to say a final goodbye to Louise before she went to enter Witness Protection. This was about 10 past 4 but the accident has been timed at just over 2 hours later at 6.15pm when the phone call was made to the emergency services. He asks Smithy what happened in those 2 hours. Smithy doesn't know, he doesn't remember drinking, driving or anything... but he knows he did not and would not kill Louise. "I've been set up." Zain nods. "First thing I thought of. Pete Larson." Smithy confesses that he also thinks he was drugged as he's had a few of the symptoms of GHB or rohypnol poisoning.

In an interview room with the DPS, Smithy is still refusing legal representation or a fed rep. He tells Frank he wants to try sort it out between them if they can without any official legal involvement. Silly boy! He tells Frank he still can't remember much but he's sure he's been set up by Pete Larson. He'd tried to kill her before (and had attacked Smithy!) and this time he's succeeded because she's the only one who could put him away. He thinks that he didn't kill him because he needed someone to pin it on, and that it's also a way of punishing Smithy for 'taking' Louise. Smithy fights back tears and tries to compose himself repeatedly. He admits they tried to stop the affair but couldn't... his voice breaks as he allows himself to start to say that if they had stopped... but he can't complete the ending that - Louise would/could still be alive if they had.

Smithy confesses their plan for the future, that Louise was going to fly to Australia after the trial and set up a new life. Smithy was going to hand in his notice and fly out to join her so they could be together. Frank scoffs that Pete couldn't set up all this from inside, but Smithy insists his influence is all over London as he is a powerful man with all sorts of contacts. "I was drugged! I was set up!" Smithy tells a disbelieving Frank. Frank wonders aloud if Smithy is pointing the finger at Pete to divert attention from himself. Smithy gets worked up as Frank insinuates that he's the guilty party that they argued and he 'accidentally' clipped her as he drove off in a rage. Smithy refuses to hear a bar of it. "I didn't kill Louise, because I couldn't." he chokes out. Frank cuts off the interview, saying they'll have the forensic results soon.

Jack asks Zain for any updates, he tells Jack that there was a room booked in that hotel under Smithy's name. The staff don't remember seeing Smithy but they do Louise. Zain continues that it ties in with Smithy's theory that he was drugged and can't account for the missing 2 hours.

Frank tells Adam that he's had an update on Smithy's phone and that a text was sent to Louise's from it at 6.10pm saying: 'Meet me at the Bestborough Hotel. I've got a surprise for you.' "This means his story doesn't hold up." Frank insists with Adam nodding. OR IT COULD MEAN THAT HE WAS, Y'KNOW, DRUGGED AND SET UP AND IT WASN'T HIM THAT SENT IT?! Fucks sake, Frank and Adam!

Frank agrees that Smithy should be bailed for now and Adam goes in to tell him. Smithy is blaming himself after his realisation earlier... he tells Adam he should have finished it and that it's 'all down to me'. Adam appears to be regarding Smithy differently and seems rather standoffish compared to the day before, telling him only to go home and sleep and nothing about the alleged text. (It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't come quite so soon after Adam's own set up problems with Isaac Collins in episode 329!!)

Adam and Frank attend the scene where the traffic officer confirms that it was Smithy's car that caused Louise's death after the forensics had been completed. The tire tracks proved that she was hit at speed and that the car mounted the kerb to do so and then did a U turn and came back on itself to drive at her a second time. It was no accident.

Back at Yvonne's Smithy has managed to fall asleep finally and the TV quietly plays a film to itself. At guns are fired on the screen, Smithy's brain helpfully replays some of the day before - specifically being taken hostage at gunpoint. He then goes to pour himself a drink of vodka but before he can drink it the smell causes another flashback, being force-fed and almost waterboarded with a bottle of vodka. He rings Zain and updates him.

Neil returns to Sun Hill on attachment from MIT at personal request of Jack and Adam. (Background: If I remember rightly, he took a sabbatical when his paedophile father in law was found out and murdered in 344 and it turns out in 366 he's with MIT for a change of scenery/get away from ghosts when he returns for a short while to investigate the serial killer targeting gay men ending in Lance's death. He then returns again for a short while in 378/379 when Jack is accused of taking backhanders. He returns for this and then when MIT are dicks, he refuses to be involved with their investigation into Smithy as he knows the man and knows he wouldn't do it and so transfers back properly in 387. )

Frank presents Yvonne with CCTV picture of the man that they want to trace as a witness. Roger glares down the corridor as he watches with some other uniform officers... but Emma can't escape this time and when Frank says hello the others wind her up for being on first name terms with the DPS and she has to confess that he's her father...

Neil updates CID with what has happened and that it is now a murder case and that it was a deliberate murder. Zain insists that it was a set up by Pete Larson and Smithy was drugged. Jo adds that Smithy's symptoms - amnesia, nausea, loss of consciousness - do back this up. Frank just insists that it 'could' be a convenient cover. Sun Hill are not happy - literally glaring back at him after a group "WHAT?!"

Frank insists that Smithy is a copper and he would know how to play the game and that he could be making it all up. Jack quickly jumps in to stop them lynching Frank, saying they have to check everything that could give them a lead. They also want to interview Louise's friend who let her stay at her place over Christmas whilst she was away to see if she can tell them anything about her and Smithy.

Smithy comes in to speak to Neil and Frank, telling them he's remembered that he arrived at the hotel as usual, parked in his usual place and the next thing he remembers there's a man with a gun in his face telling him to get back into the car and drive. He remembers being ordered to drink vodka or be killed - or watch Louise be killed. He was wearing a balaclava so Smithy can't give a description. Neil asks about the man's voice and Smithy says he can't remember if he was young or old or if he had an accent and FRANK LITERALLY ROLLS HIS FUCKING EYES right in front of him! He clearly doesn't believe any of it. Thank god for Neil being so calm and helpful for Smithy or I'd need to replace my monitor by now... Smithy can't remember the gun - which given his knowledge and history is a big fuck off sign too! - and insists he was drugged.

Frank takes over and asks what happened in the missing two hours of his life. "I was out. cold." Smithy repeats. "Then how was a text message sent from your phone at 6.05pm to Louise?" (that's changed considering it was 10 past earlier...) HE JUST FUCKING SAID THERE WAS A MAN IN THE CAR WITH HIM WHO FORCED HIM TO DRINK AND DRUGGED HIM. That is an answer for BOTH OF THOSE.

Ahem.

Frank doubles back to knowing that it was a deliberate killing now and not an accident and that his theory 'could' be right that they did argue. (so could Smithy's, not that you believe it Keane!) and that he loved her so much that he'd risked his life for her and that rage and fury took over. Neil is clearly not happy with Frank's methods.

Emma tries to talk to Roger about her father. Roger's still not happy, telling her that Smithy is innocent and that if her father condescended to talk to any member of the team he'd know that. Emma storms out when Roger tells her that it'll take as long as it takes for the evidence to come forward because it will be found and Smithy will be cleared, whatever her father thinks. She returns with a list of telephone numbers to all the shops and churches etc in the area that the telephone box was in and she splits them with Roger. They appear to track him down as a landlord says it sounds like one of his regulars.

Jack is in the Sgt's office with a shell-shocked Smithy who can't believe that Frank thinks that he killed Louise. Jack reassures him they'll clear his name and asks him about Pauline Burton. Smithy tells her that she's an old friend of Louise's. When she and Pete got together the two women fell out but they've patched it up and Louise has been staying with her. Smithy admits that if Louise would tell anyone that she was going to leave the country for Australia it'd be Pauline.

Jo and Zain have to tell Pauline that Louise has been killed in an accident. Pauline is gutted and slowly explains that she and Louise had patched things up. She says that she'd met a new man who had made her see Pete for what he was and that he was called Dale Smith. Unfortunately though she can't say that she'd ever met Smithy as the relationship was over just before she moved in. Noone thinks to ask her if she'd been around for the entire fucking time though - they don't see that she's been away for Christmas... or even consider that Louise was a known private person used to keeping secrets (this is why them staying at hotels doesn't make sense when Smithy has his own place and Louise was staying in a 'safe' place away from Pete!) Oh no...Frank just angrily demands from Smithy why Pauline is telling them that the relationship was over. Smithy explains that the less people who knew the less risk there was of Pete finding out.

Also? Smithy already told them before that the man had black gloves and a balaclava on but Frank's all 'yours is the only dna in that car' which is literal bullshit anyway because what? Smithy's never given anyone a lift? He brought it absolutely brand new? It's a GG51 reg! It was a 5 year old car by that point! There'd be loads of DNA in that car that would need testing and no way fibres from the man's clothes wouldn't be amongst them too!

Smithy's blood results show that there's no sign of GHB or anything else in his system but GHB is only detectable in his blood for up to 8 hours. He didn't have blood taken at the hospital! And given that if it was administered at say before 5 (it works for 3/4 hours after) to make him pliable to get everything set up if the drinking didn't work and to get the vodka in too he'd need it taking before midnight/1am to show it up! (The others would last longer but urine samples are a more common test for Ket/rohypnol according to google as they're more reliable). Neil reassures him and tries to gently jog his memory again.

Roger tells Emma that the landlord is pretty adamant that the witness is a man called Carl Caplan who is an insurance clerk in the day and a delivery driver at night. Sounds like a man with money issues no...? Two jobs? and one who frequents a pub often enough for a pint before doing his delivery driving job (...!) to be recognised?

Neil is concerned that the evidence is stacked against Smithy and MIT are working to that. Jack insists that he's still innocent and they will prove it.

Caplan is approached by Emma and Roger and brought in. Jack and Smithy think it's going to be good news. This is The Bill after all... how can it be? Frank praises his daughter and tells her she's too good for Sun Hill and that she should take the fast track option. She's adamant that Smithy is innocent as her team tell her. "If it's good enough for them...."

Caplan tells them that he is working two jobs because he's struggling financially after a messy divorce with maintenance, a house mortgage and rent for his bedsit. He tells them he was too scared to come forward because 'the way that man was driving, it was obvious that he meant to hurt that woman.' Carl seems shocked that Louise is dead and insists he was scared that the man would find out who he was and go after his kids. He seems awfully detailed on exactly what they should be told too. He tells them that he saw her as he passed the hotel, she was getting out of a car whilst reading a text message. There was no one else around and then a car came from nowhere and charged at her. He shouted look out to her and she ran but the car hit her. He says he got a good look at the driver and can identify him. He picks Smithy out of a WADS line up. Jack has to tell CID who clearly can't believe it either. Zain instantly points out that he's clearly a plant. Jack agrees - and tells Jo to set up financial checks into Caplan. "I don't believe this. Only one witness, who just happens to ID Smithy who just happens to be involved with the wife of one of London's biggest gangsters. Caplan has been briefed and placed at the scene!" Insists Zain. "Let's prove it." Jack adds.

Neil tells Yvonne that they've got the ID, Caplan identified Smithy... and Yvonne has to charge him as duty Sergeant - despite not agreeing with it. He's charged with Louise's murder in front of Frank, Adam and Neil in the Sgt's office...He remains silent for the entire time, even when he's lead to a cell, simply handing over his warrant card to Adam.

THE MIGHTY DUCKS 1992

Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation? It's beautiful. Pretty awesome the way they all stick together. Ducks never say die. Ever seen a duck fight? No way. Why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know that if they mess with one duck, they gotta deal with the whole flock.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman to Star in "‘The Roses", directed by Jay Roach

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo (Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman): successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life. But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down.

“The Roses is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,” said Searchlight President Matthew Greenfield. “With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life.”

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

“We are thrilled to be working on this very special film with such an incredible team,” stated SunnyMarch’s Ackland. “We have been long admirers of Jay’s work and his vision and passion to tell this story is incredibly inspiring.”

Shared South of the River’s Colman and Sinclair, “We have been cooking this up with our friends at SunnyMarch for some time, and it has been an absolute thrill to see it spring into life under Jay’s passionate and thoughtful guidance. He and Tony are a match made in cinematic comedy heaven.”

Cumberbatch is producing under his SunnyMarch banner with the company’s Leah Clarke and Adam Ackland. Colman will produce under Her South of the River banner with partners Ed Sinclair and Tom Carver.

NEW PROJECT ALERT!

EXCLUSIVE: Benedict Cumberbatch has signed to star in Dylan Southern’s adaptation of Max Porter’s acclaimed novel Grief is the Thing With Feathers about a father and his two young sons dealing with the sudden death of their wife and mother.

Cumberbatch will play a young father whose hold on reality crumbles following his wife’s death as a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons.

“Having been a huge fan of Max Porter’s extraordinary book and Enda Walsh’s stage adaptation I was sceptical about a film adaptation. But the experience of reading Dylan Southern’s adaptation rekindled the cinematic memory of reading this most visceral tale of a family consumed by grief,” said Cumberbatch.

“Dylan has handled the deftness of Max’s kinetic poetry masterfully. It’s so well realised both on the page and in the deck and pitch. It holds all the wildly sharp turns of changing tones and colours between the domestic and mythic, between the despair, comedy, and every day of loss. It’s a thrilling read, and I couldn’t be more excited to be taking Dylan’s cinematic vision of it to the big screen”, he added.

“This is a genuinely meaningful story – but it’s also scary, thrilling, and subversive – and it achieves all of the above whilst remaining unsentimental. As a director, adapting this book provides the opportunity to combine striking genre elements with drama in a way that will not only move an audience, but will frighten them and make them laugh too”, said Dylan Southern (Director).

The feature adaptation, entitled The Thing With Feathers, is produced by Andrea Cornwell with SunnyMarch’s Adam Ackland and Leah Clarke. The script was developed with Film4, who will executive produce and co-finance. The crow figure will be created for the screen in collaboration with the sculptor Nicola Hicks.

#benedict cumberbatch #the thing with feathers #dylan southern #max porter #novel adaptation #news #my post #he´s so booked! and i just want to see something of all these #i miss seeing him acting!!

Let me get this straight...

The Haters are now saying they think Adam Ackland, David Birken, (and maybe others) conspired to have BC abducted in South Africa (part of his torture and "programming").

This incident (which Aeltri has hinted in the past that she doubted it ever took place) happened in 2004 when filming To the Ends of the Earth in South Africa. But BC didn't even know Adam Ackland until he met him on the set of The Last Enemy in 2007! And Denise Black and Theo Lande also were terrorized that day (Denise Black fully corroborated the story) so were they supposed to be "in" on the "plot"?? All three of them decided to go scuba diving.

And I guess Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss were ALSO in on this because they "re-traumatized" BC years later just to keep him in line - so the Haters say!

But wait! Wasn't it Gatiss who supposedly kicked Sophie off the set of Sherlock?? I remember the Haters making a HUGE deal about that! Why would he do that if he was in on the plot???

Another "180" that the Haters have NEVER explained is Wanda. She was supposed to HATE Sophie way back when the Haters thought she was on their side! The Haters went on and on about her disdain for Sophie for YEARS, but now Wanda is the culprit who pimped BC out as a child to the Freemasons! That's quite a reversal!

And Adam Ackland was supposed to have held an "intervention" in China to save BC from evil Sophie making him into a drug addict, but now... he's one of THE worst enemies of BC!

The Haters are just ALL OVER THE MAP with this narrative!

And now Sophie et al are paying minions to harass BC in Tokyo?!? To show him how terrible it would be if fans thought he was "single"?? But, but, but... NO FANS THINK BC IS "SINGLE" - except the Haters! FFS, he was wearing his wedding ring all through the convention! And he just appeared with his wife at LL!

Unbelievably stupid Hater narrative!

They reeeeeeally reek of desperation!

#haters #benedict cumberbatch #haters just can’t stand to see bc happy!#haters are liars!#morons the lot of them #extreme denial syndrom #none of this makes sense

I don't think theres any evidence that Ben had been to this club recently. Hes just been exposed as a member (along with a dozen other actors and lots of high profile people)

Seems v unlikely that the exposure is about him

It's just unfortunate hes getting caught up in it (and obviously this wouldnt have happened if he avoided dodgy institutions like that)

You know how I know it was you? Because you all enjoy trying to lay traps, months and years in advance. It took seven years of arm twisting, huh? Well, I distinctly recall one of your crunchy little fake black, UK activists, declaring on Twitter, and I quote:

"I've been waiting nine years to get this fucker!"

So, you also got some steam started to go after Ben, for this bit of stupidity, and just sprung it. And don't even try that. 'Others were outed'. You all play this game; get some names to throw into an article for deflection. Those other tools know damn well that they will be left alone.

But...Ben is the ONLY person you trolls are concentrating on...aren't you?

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 348

Roger and Yvonne attend the scene of a RTA where a young boy has been knocked over. The driver is found at the scene after trying to run away. It turns out that the driver stole the car and he insists the child just ran out in front of him. The boys dies from massive internal injuries. If the driver sticks to his story it's going to be a struggle to pin dangerous driving on him as there are no witnesses. The father, Jeff, blames himself because he took his eyes off him for a second to answer the phone. The driver insists they've got nothing on him - other than joyriding and driving without a licence, he refuses to even consider that he was to blame.

Amanda hears Smithy and June talking about Gina and advises Smithy to stay away from Gina because she can't be helped. More likely Amanda's worried more people will find out what she did if people talk to Gina!

Reg is very happy to be leading the anniversary proceedings for the celebration. He 'volunteers' Reg and Lance to help him chaperoning guests and making things run smoothly.

Gabriel is overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to sort out and the whole pretending to be someone else thing which would require a lot of sorting out and a high risk of being caught out. June tells him he's living in cloud cuckoo land and that he's got a bank account, NI number, driving licence etc in her sons name and not his own and that he's claimed everything else of her sons to be his. June tells him that if he doesn't tell Sheelagh then she will. He tries to threaten her and June's far passed the point of actually being scared of him and doesn't care. She gives him a week to talk to Sheelagh. He actually thanks her and promises he won't let her down.

Roger supports the father, Jeff, and is gently and kind and tells him that they're doing everything they can. Amanda however is on the phone to the press as she arrives and tells them that she wants it specifically mentioned that they're doing all they can and that she personally visited the father. She knocks whilst still on the telephone and interupts Roger telling Jeff that they have some concerns with the prelimary findings which means the driver will only be charged with with aggrevated vehicle taking, driving with no insurance and no licence and not death by dangerous driving. Amanda puts her foot in it massively and upsets Jeff, inflaming the situation. Jeff throws her out of the house and in turn Roger too. Amanda then blames Roger for it backfiring int he manner it did!

Smithy goes to Adam's house to speak to him, knowing Gina will have told him nothing. Adam's been working as a volunteer at a homeless shelter to keep him busy as he hates being in the house alone. Smithy updates him on the happenings at Sun Hill, telling Adam that it's like Gina is being forced out by Amanda and that Amanda's lost the respect of the entire station through it as they all know that it wasn't Gina who sent S019 to the wrong house. Adam insists it will be fine as Gina won't let it knock her - but Smithy tells him that it's like Gina has given up and just rolled over. Smithy begs him to return to take the helm but Adam is not at all sure and asks for time to think about it.

Yvonne and Roger have to arrest Jeff for assaulting the driver of the car who killed his son. Amanda tells Roger to release him straight away rather than let him calm down and she demands that Roger makes the driver NOT press charges. Jeff demands that the boy is arrested again and Amanda tells him she hasn't read the file and she can't do that. She tells him it was an accident and that they're all deeply sorry. She's incredibly useless and simply inflames Jeff over again. He screams at her that he wants the man who killed his son brought to justice. She simply tells him they're doing everything they can to help him and escapes back to her office, leaving Yvonne to take him home.

Adam goes to see Gina and she guesses immediatley that Smithy sent him. She tells him she's lost her fight and she's not doing a great deal to secure her job back because she doesn't have the energy to deal with it right now. She 'rememebers' she's got to be somewhere and he leaves. He tells her she's the best Super he's ever worked under and that she's being pushed out for something that isn't her fault. She admits she doesn't want to work under Amanda so is considering her options. Adam tells her he's considering returning and asks if she'd work under him again. She's surprised - but of course she would! She agrees to return to the station for the anniversary do and admits she lied about 'having things to do' and closes the door.

There's a shock instore for both June and Gabriel at the front desk. The Real Gabriel Kent has arrived, asking to see June. It doesn't half confuse Laura however when the man gives his name as 'Gabriel Kent'.

The Fake Gabriel is putting up posters advertising his and Sheelagh's engagement party as Laura arrives and asks him if he's seen June because there's a bloke at the front desk asking for her. "You're not going to believe this, but his name is Gabriel Kent." she tells him. The Fake Gabriel assures Laura he's a bit of a nutter and that he'll deal with it and goes through to see his brother - The Real Gabriel Kent. The Real Gabriel is amazed to see him and shocked that his brother is a police officer and tells him he's there to see June.

The Fake Gabriel (TFG) tells The Real Gabriel (TRG)* they can sort it out but that they need to go upstairs to a private quiet room so it's not played out in front of people whilst TRG gets to know his birth mother.

Outside the station Jeff Clarke is watching it fill up with visitors for the anniversary. Laura spots him outside and asks if he's ok, he assures her he's fine and continues looming.

Reg is running around in old fashioned police clothing, trying his best to get everything set up and ordering the others around to help. Tony has to tell him that the old Sun Hill officer that he'd arranged to make a talk has hurt his back and can't come after 'helping' with an arrest earlier. Reg says he'll drive him to the hospital and that Tony has to take over for him and do the introductions.

TRG is even more confused as he talks with his brother as he wanted to be a police officer and it just so happens that his brother is stationed at the same station as his birth mother. He suggests it can't be a coincidence but TFG insists it is and says that June isn't in that day, what a shame it is considering he came all that way to see her. TRG just smiles, telling TFG that he's now home for good having lost his job and his marriage having ended. He's going nowhere - sending more alarm bells ringing for TFG. TRG asks how he got into the MET after his 'trouble' in the Navy. Laura appears and calls TFG 'Gabriel' which suddenly explains it all to TRG. (cor this is exhausting!) TRG wants to thrash it out, knowing that he's stolen his identity. TRG knows just how twisted his brother is. TFG refuses to let him leave.

Terry arrives back at the station after a covert operation he's been on all day. Amanda tells him he has to show guests around CID. He explains but she won't take no for an answer - he has to show them round now or else. Gina turns up for the anniversary do on Adam's arm, nervous that she might not be allowed in because she's been suspended. He assures her it'll be fine.

Jeff is in the front office with the rest of the people invited, he tells Terry that he's not there for the anniversary, he wants to talk to someone about his son. Amanda is horrified to see him and interupts as Terry wants to take him somewhere to explain the process gently. Amanda tells him that she'll take him to her office and leads him upstairs - telling him he's come at a bad time as it's actually a celebration. Jeff is clearly on the edge but she doesn't appear to realise and just continues upstairs, "It's always best to deal with these things whilst they're fresh." She tells him in a dismissive bored tone.

TFG insists that stealing his brothers life and identity is no big deal and can all be sorted out. "Yes it can." nods TRG. "You're going to tell them the truth." TFG turns it all round to be TRG's fault that this happened in the first place, claiming he just wanted to be like him. TFG claims he's finally found something he's good at and that he's not going to let TRG ruin it. TFG offers to pay him whatever he wants to return to America. "Either you tell them the truth or I do. So what's it going to be, David?" TFG freezes, plotting and he finally agrees that yes, he will resign. "But not now. Everyone's tied up with the do. Who could I talk to?" TRG knows he's playing for time and TFG scoffs. "Who are you going to tell? You just going to grab someone and blurt it out? People wil think you're a nutter." TFG tells him to come back the next morning to speak to June. TRG demands he let him leave but TFG won't let him. "Face it David, your little game is over."

Amanda inflames Jeff's feelings further, telling him that she's very sorry - yet again - but nothing can be done. She asks him to leave... as Jeff produces a gun. "You keep saying you're sorry, but you're not. All you had to do was listen."

TRG charges out of the room with TFG at his heels, grabbing him and telling him he doesn't know where he's going. They come face to face with Amanda being held at gun point and Jeff orders them to stay where they are. "Just do what he says!" Amanda says, terrified.
