OK enough Brit Kicking for now OK
As for Mr Tennant I was horrified when he took over Dr Who in the UK, however he turned out to be fantastic - you are in for a treat when it reches US if you like Dr Who
However having watched the whole series & watched him in Casanova he is not my vision of repairman jack - i just can't see him hanging a guy over a bridge so a truck takes him out!!!
Now Kieffer Sutherland (sorry if spelling is wrong) he could credibily play the phsyco sides of Jack when required
Should a brit play Jack - proably not, sadly Hollywood doesn't always have the same scrupples when it comes to british character - thank heaven we have never had to endure an american James Bond.
As for what is british - sadly I fear you all think it is Hugh Grant - more colse to reality is a guy with a big beer belly, bright red on a beach cos he is not used to the sun, but refuses to use girly sun cream.
