I'm from Norway, but I always felt like I'd grown up with British culture.

We had everything from the BBC on our TV, so British drama seems very close to home.

And I grew up watching all the British ones so when you hear that from an early age, it makes it much easier than you guys who don't grow up with Australian television or British television.

I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.

Brits are cool at the moment. We've taken over the world, what with 'Game of Thrones', 'Downton Abbey', One Direction... to be British is to be fashionable.

British audiences tend to want to see their own lives reflected on TV, whereas American audiences are quite aspirational and enjoy high-concept shows that show them lives that are perhaps slightly more exciting than they aspire to.

I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.

I don't enjoy British shows as a rule because British audiences are strange.

I'm a huge, huge fan of almost everything British. I love 'The Office' - I was a faithful follower of that show before the American version.

I'm definitely an American, because I grew up here. But I've lived very happily in Britain.
