A slight switch for the blog, with Meme of the Week metamorphosing into the more versatile Question of the Week from now on. And to kick it off, we ask the simple question, prompted by today’s news:
Are the actors in British TV shows too ugly?
Have all the pretty ones gone to America, leaving the ugly ones behind? Are the stereotypes about British dentistry, pasty skin and undernourishment true? And will people in other countries only watch shows starring pretty people? What say you?
As always, leave a comment with your answer or a link to your answer on your own blog.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
