“A female Sherlock? Why not. I don’t care. Sherlockina… it’s coming soon.” The question had arisen because I had been asking Benedict Cumberbatch about his views on the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the first lady Doctor Who – the Timelord saga until recently overseen by Sherlock’s showrunner Steven Moffat. And for the record, Cumberbatch is all for Whittaker in the role. “It’s an alien so why can’t it be a woman?” he says. “I don’t speak as a fan as I just speak as someone who wants to see Jodie Whittaker’s performance as the Doctor. I think she’s an extraordinary actress and we’re lucky culturally to have got her to agree to do it, let alone any debate about whether it’s right or wrong. Just go for it… Let’s see what happens.”

But back to Sherlock, and underlying Cumberbatch’s relaxed attitude to the gender of the person playing the detective with the pipe and deerstalker, I believe I detect an actor who is perhaps subconsciously letting go of the role that made his name. “Maybe…. maybe”, is his not unexpected reply to the eternal question of whether there will be more of the globally popular updating of Arthur Conan Doyle. And while there almost will be further episodes at some point, there is also little doubt that the 41-year-old actor’s energies are flowing in a new direction. In short, he’s become a producer.

SunnyMarch TV was launched by Cumberbatch and associates in 2013, France’s Studiocanal buying a 20 per cent stake last year, and its first major project is about to be seen on BBC1. The Child in Time is an adaptation of Ian McEwan’s 1987 novel centred on a grieving children’s author, Stephen Lewis, whose toddler daughter has been kidnapped from a supermarket two years earlier. However, it’s rather more lofty and metaphysical – as you’d expect from any Cumberbatch-McEwan axis – than the burgeoning canon of more visceral TV thrillers (The Missing and Thirteen on the BBC alone) about abducted youngsters. “Despite the depths it plumbs and the emotional trauma at the centre of it, it’s a story about salvation and hope and trying to build a future that accepts and encompasses the loss of that child”, says Cumberbatch with his characteristic flood of articulateness. “It’s almost an examination of childhood and time and what happens in trauma with time but also reflections and how the conscious and sub-conscious can slide… it got quite a lot going for it other than just that horrific, horrific central premise.”

McEwan is having something of a screen moment, what with the upcoming movie of his novella, On Chesil Beach, and now this – the first TV version of one of the author’s books. Cumberbatch appeared in Joe Wright’s 2007 film of McEwan’s Atonement, but this particular script landed on his producer’s desk. That he himself took the central role of Stephen Lewis was not simply because he wanted to play him but because starring in his own productions is helping get his company off the ground – “To bring attention to the material and get it funded”, as he puts it. Playing an ordinary person, albeit in extraordinary circumstances, the role is also something of a departure for Cumberbatch, a go-to actor for real-life geniuses (Alan Turing in The Imitation Game or Thomas Edison in the upcoming The Current War), arrogant fictional brainy types (Sherlock, Steven Strange), or troubled and/or ambivalent characters like Julian Assange or Hamlet. Cumberbatch would never claim to be an ‘everyman’. “It’s a part that is a million miles away from a lot of the stuff that I’ve done… especially the more famous one on telly”, he says, [referring to Sherlock]. “It was a challenge. I was bringing a lot more of myself as I sound and as I move through the world. It felt quite naked at times, and there were moments when I thought ‘am I doing enough?’. “I wanted Stephen to be close to myself, so I brought a lot of my own wardrobe in because I wanted to feel it was me rather than someone else I was putting on every day. It’s not often you get into a role by getting out of a role.” On the afternoon we meet, Cumberbatch’s wardrobe consists of navy chinos and trainers, white t-shirt and open grey linen shirt – the same outfit, I can’t help but notice, that’s he’s wearing later when he’s snapped by paparazzi as (according to Mailonline) “he enjoyed a date night with wife Sophie Hunter”.

Cumberbatch and theatre director Hunter were married in 2015 after having known each other for 17 years. The couple have two sons, two-year-old Christopher, and Hal, who was born in March. Did parenthood make the role of grieving father in The Child in Time more difficult for the actor? “I don’t think you have to be a parent to understand”, he says. “It wasn’t a case of ‘Oh, great, I can get my teeth into something whereby I’ll be emotionally wrought because I’m a new dad for a second time’. It just happened that way.” He didn’t take the part home with him then? “I try not to do that whatever I’m doing. Those are very separate spaces for me, and you have to take care of yourself. In a way, you’re literally kind of breaking down for a whole day but that’s what the drama demands; it makes you realise what the pain must be like for people who actually experience it. It’s unfathomable, so you don’t really want to bring that into your own domestic space.” Hunter is joining her husband as a producer on one of SunnyMarch’s new projects, a film adaptation of Megan Hunter’s eco-apocalyptic debut novel The End We Start From (“a stunning tale of motherhood”, according to Cumberbatch). Other movies on his production slate are an adaptation of Matt Haig’s How to Stop Time, Geoffrey Household’s 1939 adventure classic, Rogue Male, and Rio, which will co-star Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal, while TV dramas in pre-production include screen versions of Edward St Aubyn’s Melrose novels. For reasons given above, what connects the productions, apart from their origins in literature, is that they all star Cumberbatch. But what was it like for The Child in Time to also wear the producer’s hat? “It’s different because you’re there at the inception of the idea and just thinking who would be right to direct it… I’ve never been at that stage of things before”, he says. “I really, really enjoyed it. But it’s not without its challenges, especially watching the work sooner than you should as an actor, in a very raw state to then give feedback about what you feel as a producer. That was tricky.” And watching and then critiquing himself? “It’s horrible and very peculiar – the way you look, the way you do things, it’s just horrible. It’s full of hate but there’s nothing better than the self-critic in your head for brutality. “It’s a first time, we’ll see how it works”, he continues. “Everyone had a great experience making it which is a testament to us doing something right as a production team.” The cast of The Child in Time also includes Trainspotting-to-Boardwalk Empire actress Kelly Macdonald (playing Lewis’s estranged wife), Stephen Campbell Moore and Saskia Reeves. Stephen Butchard adapted it. “I’ve been a McEwan fan since I was old enough to kind of understand stuff… I would read the book almost the minute it came out”, says Cumberbatch. “Atonement was the first book [of his] I read and funnily ended up in a few years later. And The Cement Garden was first the first production I went to. There was a production of it being made when I studied it [at Manchester University] and I thought about auditioning for it and then I thought ‘I can’t do that… I’m not a good enough actor.” The Child in Time was one McEwan novel that evaded his omnivorous consumption, however. “I hadn’t read it”, says Cumberbatch. “And there will be expectations from those who know the novel even though it was released in the late 80s. We’ve re-contextualised it and set it in the present day [because] it’s partly a critique of the Thatcherite era.” In the meantime, in another departure for the actor (“Unlike any character I’ve played before”, he promises) it was announced last week that Cumberbatch will be playing the father of gay bare-knuckle-fighter Mikey Walsh in the film Gypsy Boy. And with so much going on you might think that he wouldn’t have time to make another film in the all-star Avengers superhero series, let alone three. However two more of the multiplex blockbusters in the role of Steven Strange have been filmed, with another in pre-production. “I’m very late to the party but it’s just amazing to be part of it. Anything’s possible especially as I can go like that”, he says, clicking his fingers, “and appear anywhere”. He might equally have been describing his future prospects.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah forced off with injury against Man City

Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian was taken off injured during Wednesday’s Champions League tie with Manchester City.

Salah gave Jurgen Klopp‘s men a deserved lead at Anfield with a well-taken finish, but he was forced off just seven minutes into the second period.

The former Roma forward received treatment for a leg injury before speaking to Klopp as he walked off the pitch to be replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum.

Asked if Salah’s injury was serious, Klopp told BT Sport: ‘I hope not. He said to me immediately after the game “all fine, all good” and we hope that’s the case. We have to wait for that.’

Salah seems certain to face a race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Merseyside derby against local rivals Everton.

The Reds, who are looking to go second in the Premier League table, make the short trip across Stanley Park for the weekend’s early kick-off at Goodison Park.

Salah appeared to hold his groin shortly after the break, with Klopp unwilling to take a chance with his star man.

The £39million forward pounced on some poor defending in the 12th minute to fire the hosts into an early lead against Pep Guardiola’s much-fancied side.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane also struck in the first-half as Liverpool took control of the quarter-final in style.

City pushed for an equaliser after the break but were unable to find a way through ahead of the return leg at the Etihad next Tuesday.

People connecting COVID-19 to 5G conspiracy in UK apparently trigger damage

A baseless, already-debunked rumor linking the unique coronavirus and 5G broadband technology is spreading out across the UK and appears to have actually triggered physical damage this week.

A mobile phone mast in Birmingham, England, is thought to have actually been fired by anti-5G arsonists, and telecoms engineers have apparently been abused in the street by people who believe in the theory.

Facebook has actually already eliminated one group where users were being encouraged to send in video of them ruining mobile phone device, The Guardian reported

Check out Service Expert’s homepage for more stories

A 70- foot cellular phone mast in Birmingham, England, went up in flames this week and is supposedly being blamed on people who supposedly believe in the fake report, The Guardian reported

EE, the network operator, told the newspaper that it is still examining the fire but that it “looks most likely at this time” to be the work of arsonists.

” To intentionally take away mobile connectivity at a time when people need it more than ever to stay linked to each other, is a negligent, harmful and harmful thing to do,” the business stated, according to The Guardian.

The reason for the fire is not clear, but hours earlier, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson had actually condemned the “bizarre” conspiracy theories that 5G was a plot to spread the coronavirus, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Anderson had actually said: “I’m astonished that there are individuals out there who saying things like this– that COVID-19 is in some way connected to 5G. It’s strange.”

Somewhere Else in England, telecoms engineers are supposedly facing spoken abuse and threats of violence from people who think in the spurious theory.

According to the MailOnline, an unknown female approached two employees laying cable in a London street, and blamed them for killing households.

” We’re all going to remain in healthcare facility on breathing device. It’s due to the fact that of this wire here,” she said, according to the news site.

” How do you feel? Do you have children? Do you have moms and dads? How do you feel? When they turn that switch on, you can say ‘bye bye mama,” she reportedly said. “Are you content to continue doing that task? Are you paid enough to eliminate her?”

The engineers were utilized by Neighborhood Fibre and do not utilize 5G innovation, according to the business.

Full Truth, the UK’s independent fact-checking not-for-profit, has actually currently unmasked the myth that there is any link in between the 5G network in Wuhan, where the coronavirus broke out, and the illness.

” The primary implication of the claim– that 5G can impact body immune systems– is totally unproven. There is no proof linking the new coronavirus to 5G,” Complete Truth said.

Nevertheless, the reports have actually spread rapidly on social media. According to The Guardian, Facebook has actually already removed one group where users were being encouraged to send in video of them destroying cellphone apparatus.

An online petition declaring that it threatened to live near a 5G mast due to the fact that it would improve the opportunity of COVID-19 infection was shared by Amanda Holden, a judge on “Britain’s Got Skill,” according to The Guardian. The post was later on taken down.

Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati refused to move to rivals Real Madrid despite having & # 39; better financial conditions & # 39; offering, the 16-year-old father reveals after his debut in victory over Real Betis

The newest star in Barcelona has chosen to become a member are the Catalan giants above Real Madrid despite Los Blancos with a larger financial package, his father has revealed.

Fati became Barca & # 39; s second youngest player of all time on Sunday night when, at the age of only 16, he came off the bench in his 5-2 win over Real Betis.

The talented attacker joined the famous La Masia academy when he was only 10 and rose through the ranks, but his father, Bori, admitted that his son had a choice of the two largest clubs of Spain when he was in Seville.

Ansu Fati (L) became the Barcelona's second youngest player when he made his debut on Sunday

& # 39; When he was six or seven years old, he came to Spain, & # 39; he told COPE. "I had come earlier and did not know he was playing football.

" We were in Seville and Real Madrid offered a contract with better financial conditions than Barcelona for my son.

& # 39; But we chose Barcelona because they came to my house with a contract and convinced me

& # 39; Albert Puig [former youth technical director] and told me that my son was for Barcelona had to draw. He said they had a project and that I would see it in a few years. & # 39;

Fati , who is only 16 years old, poses with his family after signing his first professional contract

Fati came for the last 12 minutes of Sunday night's game at the Nou Camp after an injury crisis in the attack left Ernesto Valverde with Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez.

& # 39; It was the happiest day of my life, & # 39; Bori added. "When Ansu told me he was summoned by Valverde, I started crying, so did my wife.

" When he went out on the field, we said "it can't", we were on cloud nine. & # 39;
