  • The part where he does the 'Yes!" at the end is so adorable.

  • This is adorable.

  • I remember reading this book, but I don't quite remember it being read so brilliantly.

  • My mum used to read me this book in all the different voices :)

  • Are you telling me that benedict cumberbatch can read me bedtime stories?? :D

  • Oh I'll help you cut the wheat, Ben. If you know what I me--Wait, what?

  • I'm seriously gonna cry . I couldn't help giggling the entire story.. seriously.. why are you doning this to me? being so sexy and all with your voice and looking so extremely yummy?

  • Omg! Thats my favourite story, I used to read all the time when I was little!

  • He could read the same boring story all day, and I would still listen

  • It's MAGIC! The guy pratically turned a children's story into a chick magnet!! Cumberbatch superpower: sexy voice and beautiful eyes..........

  • Comment removed

  • You can tell he would be a marvelous father!

  • the way he reads, it sounds as if hes agitated for the hen

  • Woah! There's a lot of chicks freakin' out here.

    Anywho, this was very sweet, and he has a very good voice for story telling. Now girls, continue with your... "exploding ovaries" and "voice porn."

  • Suddenly, my lollipop licking feels so... (in)appropriate... :$

  • sweet jesus why am i aroused by this

  • I am gonna play this every time before I go to sleep now.

  • why the hell am I watching this XD

  • He seems bored by that story..

  • this is happiness

  • Sister: ...are you listening to a bedtime story?

    Me: C-cumberbatch...

    Sister: Oh dear god.

  • Just one more reason I want to bear his kids, if this is how their bedside story time would be like. Now I understand the feeling when a girl writes her ovaries just exploded. 

  • I watch this every night befor going to bed :)

  • Oh my god. I'm dying over how cute he is. I can't stop smiling. 1:56 Benedict you're amazing.

  • OHH I recognize this little story *:____________* In my childhood ^^

  • 1:56 omg I love you

  • I almost choked in the first five seconds. I had been expecting an audio of him reading, not a video! This is an amazing treat.

  • omfg, he how much did they pay him to do this, for g's sake!? lolz

  • OH kill me he is amazing.

  • I don't even know what the story is about. But I don't care

  • DEAR BENEDICT, U HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING NON-STOP. U ADORBS<33

  • @xxecnamorxx IM WITH YA! hes so cute!!!!

  • putting my fangirling cumberbitch part of me aside, I have to say: he will be a wonderful father to some lucky young child one day. :)

    (now back to my fangirl side) : AJHBDSIGASHJAGSFAG!!!! SO ADORABLE/CUTE!!!! BENEDICT IS SO HANDSOME!!!!! :D

  • And the moral of the story is don't share, because you're awesome.

  • Hehe I love the way he pauses and stares at the camera and then says yes very stubbernly and quickly.hehe

  • Whenever I'm sad, I'm just going to watch this, and then I won't be so sad anymore.

  • Become my fairy-teller, gorgeous daddy?:p

  • soo, I want Benedict to be my father :D

    all fairytails become better when he reads them)))

  • FATHER MY CHILDREN BENEDICT.

    Agdjdkshel. :D

  • i don't think any of us registered what happened in that fairy tale...

  • The cat, rat, and dog are SO lazy! That's ok because y'all didn't get to eat the hen's bread. LOL!

    And yes I am totally Cumberbatched! <3

  • i need to change my pants

  • Oh God, i can't...

  • Hello Perfection!

  • "Reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you cannot stop..."

    I cannot even begin to explain my love for you.

  • I want to listen him reading non-stop! Benedict, how about reading The three books of the lord of the rings like that?

  • @Hobiya

    Yessh...and while he's at it, read all of the Harry Potter books too! In that dead-on accurate Alan Rickman voice of his.

  • OMG...

    Sherlock voice 01:15 XDDD

    *fangasms*

  • O, Yes! Yes!Yes!

    Benedict, Read, Read still a fairy tale, well please, please!

    I will eat all porridge and I will well sleep!

  • Instant eargasm. He would make an amazing parent.

  • Nostalgia. <3

  • Oh my god, flashbacks from my childhood + Benedict Cumberbatch? :'))))

  • I want him to read me stories at bedtime.

  • omg when he says YES at 1:55 omgomgomg

  • Had to read 'Little Red Hen' to the children today at work..had to chuckle to myself as all i could think of was how beautifully benedict reads it here !

  • Oh, he's 100 kinds of wonderful, isn't he? :-)

  • I'm almost 15 but still, I like old bedtime stories, and this was 1 of my favorites when I was a little girl.. I was soooo happy, when I found out, that Ben recorded it :) I would have loved to have him as a father, but unfortunately he's 15 years to late :/ .. He's really a great reader!

    Thanks for sharing this!

  • naww so glad this exists

  • Dear god. When he said that "YES", his face was... OH THAT WAS SO ADORABLE. Does anyone else think he would make a really great dad one day?

    My future husband will have to measure up to this standard.

  • Oh my God. I'm watching this just coming off watching Sherlock, and it's just incredible.

  • @ProtexRegulator Right?! I just finished watching 'The Hounds of Baskerville' and that was quite a change! But I absolutely love this. O3O

  • I am 24 and watching this. Am I ashamed? Not one iota.

  • I played the Little Red Hen in a primary school play, GET IN - closest I'll get to him saying my name (y)

  • This video should be called 'How to make reading children's stories highly erotic, by Benedict Cumberbatch'

  • @4eydfreek Haha...funny.

  • @4eydfreek woop go saskia for getting over 100 likes ;) :L

  • They should start a Youtube series of British actors reading aloud from children's books. They really should.

  • 1:55 I burst out laughing. Too many wonderful BC expressions. It's strange though, I keep feeling like Sherlock's going to slip through and complain about having to read a simple story to children.

    sigh. Smile some more, Benedict. You can be responsible for the fainting episodes of all fangirls...

  • He is absolutely adorable! I love his voice!

  • He could read the bloody phone book and I'd be turned on.

  • He will read this to our future adorable ginger babies.

  • I used to love this story when I was little! It was slightly longer but they concept is the same and awesome because it's BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!

  • 1. This isn't a fairytale, it's a nursery tale, they're not the same thing.

    2. In the version I read in ancient times, the little red hen had her chicks help her eat the bread.

    3. I would think when she asked if they'd help make the bread, the rat, cat and dog would say yes, maybe thinking along the lines of getting to lick the bowl.

    4. That guy can read me a story or the phone book any time.

  • watching this Just to fall asleep, falling asleep to Benedict Cumberbatch's sexy voice I REGRET NOTHING!

  • Guuuuuuuhhhh......never in my life have I experienced such pleasure from a children's story.

  • Why is him turning the page so sexy?

  • He's a story teller, it's on DVD \o/!!!

  • It isn't fair that people this beautiful exist, but across an ocean.

  • Excuse me a moment while I lose my ability to can.

    Dear sir, this is NOT fair.

  • He's so Goddamn sweet :3

  • Oh my God I'm having a heart attack form all the adorable.

  • YES!! HOW CUTE, ADORABLE AND PERFECT IS THIS MAN!! ♥

  • This pleases me XD

  • Am I the only one finding the 'he's my husband' comments really creepy? I mean, I like the man as much as anyone, but that's... bizarre and a bit disturbing.

    On the subject of the video: his voice is unbelievably sexy, as is the rest of him.

  • @FinalFallenFantasy well really 99.99% of those people are just kidding around and fangirling/fantasizing so its not really creepy... I mean unless these people actually forged his name onto a marriage license and say he is actually their husband then I find it perfectly ok.... :p

  • I keep watching the YESS part *¬*

  • Such a cutie.

  • One word--EARGASM.

  • would you please be my new literature teacher? OH PLZ PLZ PLZ SAY YES! I don't want to have to read all by myself v.v!!!

  • Imagining this is him reading a goodnight story to our future children, no regrets.

  • i love the way he says Penguin...sounds like two words instead of one. so cute!

  • His eye pop when he says Yes! I love it! Wishing I had him to read stories when I was little or now, now is good.
