There’s A Hole In My Bucket (documentary)

Benedict Cumberbatch has signed to narrate the feature documentary There’s A Hole In My Bucket, about Royd Tolkein, the great-grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The film follows Tolkein’s journey to complete a bucket list of 50 challenges created for him by his brother Mike who suffered from motor nerurone disease, known as ALF in the US, in 2015.

“Benedict was previously aware of my brother, Mike, and his battle with this terrible disease; In 2014 I organised a charity screening of The Hobbit on behalf of my brother, and Benedict joined fellow cast members who kindly recorded greetings for that event,” explained Royd Tolkein.

Cumberbatch is a patron for the Motor Neurone Disease Association UK.
