I know, right?. It’s one of the reasons I like British television so much. Sure, there are beautiful people on the BBC, but there’s a lot more actors that look like normal, average people than on American tv. It’s quite refreshing actually. I admit it, I’m all sorts of fanboy giddy about this!Nature sounds we …
