Benedict Cumberbatch has been busy proving himself as a national treasure again, this time by breaking into song about mashed potatoes.
Appearing on The Tonight Show over the weekend, Benedict and host Jimmy Fallon played a very impressive game of sentence sneak – but obviously Benedict won.
While having to casually slip in the phrase "I dropped mashed potatoes in my trousers", Benedict went one better by performing a brand new song, 'I Dropped It'.
Have a listen below. We don't know about you, but we'd buy it.
In other delightful Cumberbatch news, the actor recently revealed that he'd definitely be up for Sherlock going down the Doctor Who route and hiring a female lead.
When asked whether he'd support a gender-swapped version of the famous private detective, Benedict seemed pretty enthusiastic about the idea: "Why not?" he asked.
"I don't care! Sherlockina. It's coming to you soon."
The future of Sherlock in its current form is still up in the air, with no word yet on whether a fifth series is happening – but perhaps a rejigged female format would get the wheel turning.
Mark Gatiss – co-creator and writer of the hit drama series – previously suggested that any continuation of the show is not a sure thing, saying that scheduling is a "nightmare".
Perhaps Sherlockina won't be coming to a telly near us soon after all. Or Sherlock, for that matter.
