I'd grown up loving English films. I was a huge Monty Python fanatic as a kid.

I love 'Monty Python,' 'Black Adder,' 'Fawlty Towers.' I'm a huge fan of British comedy.

I love the British.

I've always loved English and loved English music and TV shows.

My mother is British; she's from Shrewsbury. She turned me onto 'Monty Python' very early.

I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.

In my opinion, the BBC are one of the best producers of drama in the world, and it made me incredibly happy to get the opportunity to be one of the leading men in one of their productions.

Through my youth, there was imposed on us a culture relentlessly English. English books were all you could buy; English television filled our screens, and in consequence, England seemed to matter in a way that our world didn't.

The British are so funny.
