Patrick Melrose is currently showing on Sundays on Sky Atlantic while Cumberbatch can also be seen in cinemas playing Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War.
Speaking previously about his own background, Cumberbatch said: “I’m definitely middle class, I think.
“I know everyone goes on about the posh thing with me – but despite looking it, I am not that class.
Despite being educated at a £34,590-a-year public school and having a name seemingly plucked directly from a Jane Austin novel, Benedict Cumberbatch has said he needed to “posh up” to play Patrick Melrose.
