Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospitals as birth place in 1976

Cummberbach could not have been born there as it wasn't built in 1976, but in 1988.

He was born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Goldhawk Road.

QCH and QC&CH are both in Hammersmith, but the latter is in Du Cane Road when Chelsea Hospital and QCH relocated.

I worked in QCH in 1980 where I delivered one of Brian May's daughters, my wife was a midwife there in 1980-1982, my children were born there in 1983, 1985 and 1987. So I know where it was and what I am talking about.

So, please get it right....he was born simply at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Goldhawk Road. Peteslez (talk) 22:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

edit request

The last sentence of Benedict Cumberbatch#Television has a typo--it says a executive producer instead of as executive producer or an executive producer. However, i don't think he is the main role, but rather he plays the main role. Please change

In 2023 he was confirmed a executive producer and lead role in the miniseries Eric for streaming service Netflix.

to something like

As confirmed in 2023, he will act as an executive producer as well as playing the lead role in the miniseries Eric for streaming service Netflix.

(or in a few days)

He executive produced Eric for streaming service Netflix, as well as playing the lead role.
