JAMES MCAVOY: Macbeth is making me feel 103
SOME pity, please, for James McAvoy.
By: Adam Helliker
Published: Sun, March 17, 2013
"I'm 33 but I feel like I'm 103 because the stage show is so exhausting. Eight performances a week and no let-up. It's the most physical thing I've ever done, and it puts all the action movies in the shade. I've got cuts and bruises in places I didn't even know I had.
"Until now the worst damage I'd ever done myself was getting a bruised coccyx... and that was the result of an attempt to slide down the handrail at Tottenham Court Road Station when I was 22."

Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy: Neverwhere - BBC Radio
Episode 1 of 6
Duration: 1 hour
First broadcast: Saturday 16 March 2013
Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere.
An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into a subterranean world under the streets of London. Stopping to help an injured girl on a London street, Richard is thrust from his workaday existence into the strange world of London Below.
So begins a curious and mysterious adventure deep beneath the streets of London, a London of shadows where the tube cry of 'Mind the Gap' takes on new meaning; for the inhabitants of this murky domain are those who have fallen through the gaps in society, the dispossessed, the homeless. Here Richard meets the Earl of Earl's Court, Old Bailey and Hammersmith, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington.

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is cyberstalked (THE TELEGRAPH)
By Tim Walker7:30AM GMT 13 Mar 2013
It is a crime that would have been beyond the ken of even the modern-day Sherlock Holmes that he portrays on screen: cyberstalking.
Benedict Cumberbatch admits that he was sufficiently unnerved when one of his neighbours started to document his actions in his own home in real time on a social networking site this week that he felt he had no alternative but to call in the police.
“I would say that it was the strangest fan experience that I’ve ever had,” Cumberbatch tells Mandrake. “I had someone live tweeting my movements while I was in my own house.
“It was such a strange and a direct thing to see these tweets saying what I was doing as I was doing them. I found it really worrying, and, yes, of course, very hard to deal with. I worked out after a while who it was who was doing it so, when it came to it, I didn’t actually call in the police, but I was prepared to do so.

Benedict Cumberbatch to play angel in star-studded Neil Gaiman fantasy Neverwhere (RADIOTIMES)
The Sherlock star is among a who’s who of cult character actors in the Radio 4 production about the magical world of London Below

A who's who of sci-fi and fantasy actors is lining up for a new radio version of Neil Gaiman's fantasy Neverwhere.
James McAvoy, star of the X-Men movies, heads up the cast, along with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch and Natalie Dormer, formerly of BBC3’s supernatural drama The Fades and currently filming Game of Thrones.
Homeland’s David Harewood and his fellow Doctor Who alumni Sophie Okonedo and Brenard Cribbins are joined by Anthony Head, star of Merlin and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as Saruman (and Dracula) himself, Sir Christopher Lee.
Neverwhere is the tale of businessman Richard Mayhew (McAvoy) whose life is turned upside-down when he comes to the aid of a young woman named Door (Dormer). In helping Door, Richard ceases to exist in his own world – London Above – and is transported to the magical parallel universe that lurks beneath it – London Below, where the capital's landmarks take on new significance.
