I've been a fan of British TV since I lived there but I don't see it as that different than American TV. I guess British TV is more naughty compared to our TV. And our TV has more violence especially with all the CSI's and NCIS and Law and Order.
There have been several articles about how American actors are being shortchanged with all the Brit actors taking such prime roles. It seems that the British actors will work for less money and most of them have been professionally trained. Interesting. A few years ago all the British actors were either the bad guys or the comic relief, now they have the leading roles. I am just so pleased that Jack is playing a Brit and is using his own voice in this role. I just wish that he had more screen time and that we can get to know his character.
I don't know if he is a scientist, he was in the book but who knows. They need to feature him and give us his back story.
