ReplyDeleteI've no idea who he is, but I've noticed people in UK really like him.
DeleteI'll have to torrent this one. I need to start watching more British shows. American television is failing to grab my attention lately.
DeleteBritish ones had their ups and downs too, but they are still a whole different world from the American ones. I'm currently enjoying the final season of The Durrells on ITV.
DeleteRussell T. Davies wrote the original "Queer as Folk" series and he's been an in-demand writer ever since! Fresh perspective, etc.
DeleteI'm afraid to see what the future will look like years and years from now.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Obama has ruined the world for many decades to come.
