Watching British crime TV be like, remember that delightful little character you really enjoyed, yeah, well now the actor who played them is about to play the most vile character to ever grace your screen.
David Tennant. He's a really good actor but he sometimes plays bad people.
My observations about British drama are. Character comes home from a big exhausted day. Puts their bag and keys down on a side table/ table/ benchtop. Goes straight to the overhead cupboard. Selects a glass. Depending on the chosen glass either turns the tap on for water or opens the fridge and pulls out a bottle of red. Cracks the red. Fills the glass. Takes a sip and doesn't finish the rest because something catches their eye or carries the glass to what ever catches their eye.
No one runs in, dumps bag and keys and runs to the toot. No one.
I just finished Ashes To Ashes and Scott & Bailey, so it was always every character leaves work for the pub to get shit faced in the middle of the week only for more drama to ensue. Bonus points if the main character rocks up to work visibly hungover the next day, which is played up by them either mournfully looking into a cup of tea or being dogged on by their work colleagues.
