He was an all-action Sherlock Holmes for TV and now he’s conquering Hollywood in Star Trek. Caitlin Moran joins the actor at his parents’ home for Sunday lunch
I don’t know if you remember, but some time last summer – between the end of the Olympics and the return of The X Factor – it briefly became the thing to have a go at Benedict Cumberbatch for being “a posho”.

“That is a picture of my mother kissing my arse,” he confirms.
Here’s what it’s like interviewing Benedict Cumberbatch: a bit like interviewing a waterfall. It won’t really answer any of your questions, but it’s fabulous to watch. It’s not that it’s trying to ignore or avoid your questions – God, no. It is endlessly, eagerly forthcoming, and shows a touching courtesy towards...

What is your earliest memory? I was two. I caught a beautiful butterfly in my hands, then realised its wings had fallen off and I was now the owner of an agonised, writhing bug. A powerful metaphor for possessive human relationships.
What was your most embarrassing moment? Lying on the landing, letting my daughter squeeze my bum-spots as a treat. A guest suddenly appeared…

This review covers episodes one and two - minor spoilers for second episode.
“Tennant clocks up another 10/10 performance in a career that, given he was in Broadchurch this week as well, just doesn’t seem capable of being lacklustre.”

Mod-feminist Caitlin Moran speaks exclusively to Lucy Holden about previously unrevealed self-harm, a new sit-com, and why she doesn’t want to do interviews anymore - all at a hundred miles an hour. Caitlin Moran knows how to sell. And she’s trying to sell me. Accidentally early, I’m shivering at the end of Moran’s road

“‘And that’s why I’m going to run for Prime Minister’ […] In her first week of office she reckons she’d get pissed and sexually assault Barack Obama. War would rage […] ‘I’d shag Obama until his security told me to put him down’, Moran tells me […] She would need Michelle’s blessing though: mainly because she’s hoping for a threesome. Or at least a lock-in in...
