I did some British TV and bits and bobs here and there. I've been lucky.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've played the leads in two British TV series. I've done a bunch of mini-series. Everybody in Australia is a bit in awe of BBC. I've worked for there, and that was a great experience.
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.
We had everything from the BBC on our TV, so British drama seems very close to home.
I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.
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.
One of the things I miss most about the U.K. is political TV, and I have one of those little gadgets, which means I can download British programmes illegally - that's why it's a guilty pleasure.

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