Off the Cuff

In the interests of our 2 degrees of separation Blueshirts stories: A friend swears she saw Benedict in a tiny Austrian alpine restaurant when she was skiing about 10 years ago.

I spotted Benedict in an episode of the C4 drama Psychos playing the concerned son of an elderly and extremely ill mother who was about to undergo ECT. His character could've been called Gavin, I'm not entirely sure.

Cufflinks

  • The only other Benedict Taylor page in existence! This is run by Colleen who is hoping to get some new pictures soon of Benedict. Thanks for letting us use the Duel of Hearts picture.
  • I've managed to find a couple of pictures of Benedict in Duel of Hearts, which you can get to by clicking here (scroll down a little way). Mostly they just show the quality of this film through Benedict's classy hair and plaid waistcoats.

What little is out there, that we can find, is accessible via the cute icon.
