So watching State of Play turned me on to a wonderful actor John Simm. To see more of John I found Life on Mars and I love it! One of the best series ever! So well done - I was around in the 70s and this show actually got it right.
The premise is a chief Inspector who has a car accident and ends up back in the 70s. You don't know if he is in a coma, dreaming, or really there. Anyway you look at it it's like Life On Mars.
Life on Mars will be done in the US this fall. I can't imagine it could possibly be as good without the English actors.
John Simm is also in Doctor Who and since I loved Torchwood so much, I will venture down that path also. It's really not the doctor Who from the 80s - its all new since 2005. Of course the shows I'm watching are all award winning shows so I'm picking the creme of the crop.
If this keeps up, I might find a fondness for Tea. Maybe not, but I defiitely have a fondness for Britt TV.

Apparently, I'm a huge Anglophile. I seem to love British shows and UK actors. Life on Mars is awesome and so is Doctor Who (my favourite show). I also love Torchwood. British television has some exceptional programmes.
