Benedict Cumberbatch Speaking Backwards Is Better Than Most People Speaking Forwards

With the soon-to-be-released extended editions of The Hobbit trilogy about to hit stores/digital download-y places everywhere, the Tolkien saga is coming to an end.

But fans should dry their Smaug-sized tears, because the box sets are stuffed to the rafters with extras galore. We've got our hands on this nifty behind-the-scenes exclusive, which sees a certain Mr Benedict Cumberbatch learning how to speak Black Speech. Backwards.

Predictably, he's as brilliant at that as everything else he turns his hand to.

The Hobbit Trilogy: Extended Trilogy is available to buy on Blu-ray 3D, DVD & HD Digital from 23 November 2015.
