I'll give you that. You're older than me. I can see why you're not impressed with what's coming out of Great Britain today. Even so, it's still better than what we got.
You really have almost NO knowledge with which to make an intelligent comparison!
Without looking it up, I have extremely grave doubts that you can name me 20 BRIT movie stars who made American movies prior to and just after WWII; let alone stage and T.V. performers on early American T.V.! And then, contrast and compare American actors and actresses, from that same era, with the same number of today's!
I love old movies...always have. Today's movies are garbage! Ditto T.V. shows! And don't get me started on the theatre!
Yes, you have opinions, most of them are invalid, due to fact that you are just talking about what YOU like and NOT breaking it all apart and putting it back together again, with facts!
And sans looking it up, I doubt that you can explain to me what "BBC ENGLISH" once was.
An speaking of English...you should have written "....older than I", instead of "older than me"!
