"Sherlock star in gunpoint kidnap drama" is the arresting splash on the front of Thursday's Daily Star. Gripping stuff too, as actor Benedict Cumberbatch tells of the terrifying moment he was carjacked in South Africa while filming mini-series To The Ends of the Earth. "The actor, 35, and his pals were ambushed when their car blew a tyre in an isolated spot in South Africa, he revealed for the first time last night." First time? Not quite. What the Star omits to mention is that Cumberbatch spoke at length about the 2004 incident in an interview for a book launched by the Prince's Trust and Starbucks in July 2009. He also spoke about it in an interview with the Guardian's Weekend magazine, in, er, 2010. Elementary, my dear Daily Star.
