Video: There’s one word in the English language that Benedict Cumberbatch can’t pronounce

What’s a pengling?

Thought Sherlock could do no wr0ng? You may think again.

Narrating this BBC documentary about penguins proves a bit of a stretch for Benedict Cumberbatch, as he repeatedly struggles to say a word that’s pretty crucial to the whole endeavour.

We reckon he needs to p-p-p-pick up a pronunciation kit before he signs on the dotted line for any future nature documentaries.
