Music According to Benedict - "Sweet Thing" by Van Morrison

It's been awhile since we checked the vintage vault for songs favored by Benedict Cumberbatch, hasn't it? It's not completely our fault, you know. He's been a very busy man lately:

• filming in Boston with Johnny Depp and Erica McDermott as part of the Whitey Bulger biopic, Black Mass.
• supporting the Motor Neurone Disease & ALS Associations, asking fans to celebrate his 38th birthday by donating to a cause that matters to him.
• narrating a documentary (released to coincide with the 2014 World Cup) featuring football star Cristiano Ronaldo. 
• signing a two-year contract to represent Dunlop Tires in China
• working with his partners at Sunny March Ltd. to bring their short film, Little Favour, (with exclusive content) to a new video-on-demand service, We Are Colony.
