    Sorry, but I don't know who he is as I don't watch Eastenders or any television programme because I don't have a TV, and even if I did, I still wouldn't watch anything on it.

    A hybrid. Spoken American English, but written British. For example, we would spell honour, valour, colour etc. with the added "u" as per British English. But would pronounce words like tomato, potato vitamins or yogurt like Americans.
