AS DAME Helen Mirren said this week, Hollywood always liked to cast our actors as the villains of the piece - and the more upper class and chilling the accent the better.
If an American film producer had watched last night’s TV debate between the party leaders he would not have seen three *earnest politicians but a trio of villains.
He would have identified Nick Clegg as the duplicitous matinee idol, Gordon Brown as a crude, bruising enforcer and David Cameron as the smooth, well-bred assassin. For when Hollywood looks at the British it sees baddies.

We’re not the snooty, stuck up, malevolent, malignant creatures that we’re so often portrayed as.
She makes it sound like these are bad traits...
