He's made quite the name for himself playing some seriously antisocial characters on both the big and small screens, but last night Benedict Cumberbatch gave Jeremy Clarkson a taste of his badass acting skills.

The Star Trek and Sherlock star was on Top Gear to take on the role of the 'Star in the Reasonably Priced Car' and sat down with Mr Clarkson for a chat. And y'know, a spot of fisticuffs. As you do. Check it out at the 4:35 mark.


Some might say it's a pity that Benedict was only acting. Not us, obviously...

And as for his lap? Well, despite doing more practice laps than any other actor, he trailed behind previous Star Trek villain Eric Bana, only managing a 1.47.8.

We're sure he khan do better than that now...
