The five things Desert Island Discs taught me about British actors.

1. Most British actresses are very, very fond of Elvis.
2. Everyone, everyone, loves Sir Laurence Olivier.
3. Many British men are desperate to dance, but think they can only do so alone on a desert island.
4. The diversity of Lady Gaga, Kanye West, & Missy Elliott’s fanbases are astonishing.
5. The MOST important event in the year for ALL British people is some Christmas do called a “pantomime” (“panto”). They are obsessed with it. Whoever can crack the success of the “panto” will have all British people in the palm of their hand. Forever.*

* Sometimes hyperboles are just damn accurate.
