Martin Freeman - Who Do You Think You Are - 1/5

[TheFlubber2kool]

Oh that is the irony of ironys that his Grandad was in the RAMC and the character that he plays in Sherlock was in the RAMC to. Wonder if he mentioned this to Moffat and Gattis?

[TheDeathBagel]

So.. his grandfather was an army doctor. His middle name is John. He apparently loves BAMF sweaters. He also has a brother named Benedict.

Is anyone else thinking that he's oddly well suited to play John Watson?

[EllenRebecca3]

He called Benedict his brother! That is sooo nice. :-D

[lovelyspringweather]

i like his house.

[poehlerbear91]

Ironic that he plays a character that was an Army doctor.

[BecauseGenitals]

I just see his face and find that i have this irresistible urge to hug him.

[coollikewhovian]

Is older brother is called benedict is that a coincidence i think not!!

[blueeagleDD]

Does he find out that he descends from kittens?

[ACrissCrossFILMS]

Martin freeman... FUCKING BOSS!!!! and David Mitchel xD

[helliop]

He looks like the Master from Doctor Who at 1:15 with his bright blonde hair.

[drjamband1]

he doesn't know what RAMC is but he plays John Watson ahah. i love you, Martin.

[xaoife07x]

I thought he was married... I saw him on a show either the same year or the year before and he said he was married... :P

[AcidKnockDownn]

We were born in the same town. This makes me happy. And people call Aldershot, 'Aldershite'...Lies!

[2241322]

Nice Sherlock coat, Mr. Freeman.

[farley333]

His brother looks like Sting...

[iloveabba100]

He has a brother called Benedict?! Brain has just exploded!

[Stellaacee]

R A M C, that was quite like John Watson's former job, wasn't it?

[flopart]

His brother's house looks like the client's house in Hound of Baskervilles...

[OpportunityStrikes]

Oh god Martin Freeman why are you so lovable

[darkaura0]

I exploded when I saw his dog! Its sooo cute and its so him. Like, of course Martin Freeman would own a dog like that.

[BennettIsAmazing]

I wish he'd blow his nose.

[criskity]

2:29 His partner? She's a woman. Where I come from, "partner" implies same sex.

[princesskalika]

@criskity In a lot of Europe people who aren't religious and therefore don't feel the need to have a religious marriage ceremony form civil unions and have partners versus spouses.

[4EyedBlonde]

OH MY GOD HE HAS DACHSHUNDS I think I died a little

[daenigmaticmrsteadma]

This man right here should be WAY more popular than anyone in Hollywood.

[niebells]

for God's sake why he is so damn cute, he is not even my typical handsome!

[dontleademsomuch]

his mum looks like a mong in her wedding picture

[flamilio]

What is the bracelet Martin's wearing?

[sarahbpen]

awww so adorable, are you sure he's an actor? Because I'm pretty sure he gets paid to hug kittens :3

[Miniermotte]

@sarahbpen Which means he just hugs himself all the time...

[sarahbpen]

@Miniermotte too true :) lol

[kerenzaslyfield]

He is so FUKING SEXY!!!!

[TotallyTscopeTV]

Oh God. The picture at 0:47

He was SO FUCKING ADORABLE.

[JordoF6]

His ancestors are obviously the bagginises from the Shire.

[LuLuShortieD]

he sounds like he has a cold :P

[rfby01]

It's played only shortly ... but can anyone identify the record he's playing right in the beginning?

[543406412]

I love Martin Freeman! I am surprised he didn't recognize R.A.M.C. - He has a coffee mug from Royal Army Medical Corps in the first episode of Sherlock S1 (Or was it the pilot). I guess this was filmed before he did Sherlock?

[TeaCub]

@543406412 I think this might have been done just after they filmed the pilot. I think...

[niebells]

@543406412 i think so, because if it's not, they should've mentioned some scenes from Sherlock in the beginning of this documentary, not only The Office, considering Sherlock is also a big hit

[k1r514]

@niebells This episode originally aired Aug 19 2009 - Sherlock started airing on July 25 2010 in the UK ... I don't think he'd started filming it yet.

[sweetyamz09]

LOOOOOVE martin freeman but...why does he always sound like his nose is stuffed?

[powerkisses]

So basically, his grandfather was an army doctor.

[PlastiCityOf]

@powerkisses who allegedly gave his life for tea. So is this an example of art reflects reality or reality reflects art?

[zombieslayer411]

@powerkisses ......Oh God, from "Sherlock".....is it just a coincidence?

[dementedfurbie]

When was this made?

[walvin11]

is it me or has he got a cold? i love his dogs there cute and hes got a brother called benedict martin just gets cooler and cooler

[walvin11]

is it me or has he got a cold?

[MissARoss95]

he is just too cute!!!!

[Twihard12LostForever]

I know who he is!!!! He's a Kitten in a jumper!!

[cornwallgeezer]

Isn't the snake and dagger also for the SAS??

[bexasaurous112]

Older brother called Benedict and a Grandad who was an army medic. Is it just me who thinks this is getting just a little psychic?

[Ozzilein]

I like the fact that Martin and his brother have such similar (facial) expressions: The wide eyes, the face pulling, hunching the shoulders,... It's nice to see that it seems to run in the family. ;o)

[PyroPrincess33]

2:29

Partner?

[nvalentino75]

@PyroPrincess33 According to IMDB, his longtime partner/girlfriend is Amanda Abbington, best known for "Man Stroke Woman" and "After You've Gone". She seems absolutely lovely as well.

[FullmetalShortOne]

@PyroPrincess33 Yeah, his girlfriend basically. They are together and have kids but aren't married. So I guess they thought "partner" would work better than saying "girlfriend". -shrug- At least I'm pretty sure. Don't quote me cause it's not like I know him or anything I'm going off what others have told me(obviously). Haha.

[EGLchan]

@PyroPrincess33 Wife, that is.

[aibanez123]

His grandfather was an army doctor.

He plays John Watson, an invalid army doctor.

I just realized that :|

[bekfry2]

#perfecthumanbeing

[deliriousweare]

the white and blue striped mug looks like the one he used on the sherlock set. btw: he is such a hobbit, look at his house and kitchen!

[deliriousweare]

LOL. I searched for Martin Crieff of Cabin Pressures and look what I found. Can't believe there is a report about him .......cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutee­ee!

[miishaay]

Martin you're such a hipster kitten!!

[intellectuallogic]

3:35 I swore that the car was going to hit that bird. I freaked out.

[yellohcards]

@intellectuallogic me too, it definitely caused a moment of stress

[MrStockoHMK]

bilbo ftw

[KitchenKiller95]

aaaah english people have much more epic names!!!

[TreCoooool]

Why didin't he just ask Sherlock to solve this case?

[ACrissCrossFILMS]

@TreCoooool hurr hurr hurr

[DJOfRadioGallifrey]

Even making tea seems epic in this episode.

Tim; Tea?

Martin; Please. (different angle shots of man making tea)

[allyndeimos]

he uses wikipedia. see, TEACHERS? even Martin Freeman uses wiki. why cant i?!

[lolzeid1]

why, WHY is he so adorable?!?!?! D: <3 <3

[ChristyCullen101]

4:42...Ohmygod, I am dead from cuteness.

[TaylorMelonMan]

WHAT? HIS BROTHER IS CALLED BENEDICT? :O

i wanna give him a massive hug. poor kitten... xx

[RiverSongSings]

Oh my lord. His Grandfather was an a army doctor... MY HEART. And does anyone else think that he has a bit of a cold here? Poor Martin.

[Cumberbitch]

Martins "man-purse" = want.

[TVloverXx]

Aww he's so cute:$

[misscornflakes08]

His grandfather was part of the medical section in the military. John Watson was an ex-army doctor. Does anybody else think he might have auditioned for the role in honour of his grandfather? Maybe he didn't, but I think it's a nice thought :) also, absolutely squishin' adorable! ^-^

[Malocosa]

Oh come on Martin, you're a BAGGINS!

[Thedoctor7176]

HIS DOGS! AW x 10000000000000

[MadameMasque]

His dad looks a bit like Gene Hunt in the picture at 1:33 (No disrespect of course. A compliment if anything ;)

Thank you for uploading this.

[EllenRepublic]

Thanks for uploading!

[kumagorotan]

That wedding photo of his mother at the beginning there... Martin looks SO MUCH LIKE HER WHOA. Also brother Tim's house is classy as. <3

I really rather like the idea of this show! Genealogy is so interesting. But this is really weird to watch as a fan of Martin because all I see is bits and pieces of him in his family and that's probably not the right mind at all to have watching this. OH WELL

[BurnTheHeartOutOfYou]

OH MARTIN. OH LET ME HUG YOU RIGHT NOW.

[13mysticmeg]

He has a brother called Benedict....hmmmmmmm :D hint hint Cumberbatch!

[ChibiGaara21]

@13mysticmeg wait, martin is older than benedict cumberbatch.

[monieo555]

HE'S SO FLUFFY.

[darknusisrising]

he looks so blond when he was little
