For the prison scenes filming was suspended for some weeks as Cumberbatch lost 10kg very quickly (and over Christmas!) for authenticity. <br />Interestingly, as an actor always thorough in his homework, he noticed that in media coverage Wynne always wore the same tie. The actor tracked it down to a university engineering club Wynne had never attended and a club he had never belonged to. All adding to case history, still clouded, as to whether the man was a fantasist or preferred to remain safe behind a false image; the truth of most of his claims about his spying remains unclear. <br />Highly esteemed theatre director Dominic Cooke also directed Cumberbatch as Richard III in the BBC Shakespeare series The Hollow Crown. It is a good film, beautifully made, and well worth a look.<br /> Liz Gilbeynoreply@blogger.com
