I must admit he looked more like Richard Ashcroft from the Verve.
The lawyer encouraging him to say 'no comment' will obviously play a prominent part in the proceedings, as the look in the eye seems to think he is innocent.
Quite frightening, if this is Justice, as essentially he is guilty until proved innocent.

Great review in the Guardian this morning.
That relentless machine grinding away when you (the victim) are stunned by the shock of the arrest and publicity and - worst of all - the ordinariness of the world where dull people live and work and play with each other on a daily basis and your guilt or innocence of the most dreadful crimes has no impact at all on the regular discoveries of their lives.
That's the only flaw so far.
Peter Moffat has to dramatise slightly by adding the pressures of nasty prison incidents and so on.
The reality is - total disinterest in the worst possible offenders.
Mass murderers? Just some more inmates.
Guilty or innocent? Who cares?
What's for dinner?

The lead actor reminded me more of Jim Morrison from the doors. He didn't really look like him that much when I compare them, but Jim was the first person I thought of when I saw him. If you follow that.

By the way Ben, the actor playing Ian Brown/Richard Ashcroft/Jim Morrison - was interviewed on Breakfast TV yesterday and gave one of the worst interviews ever.
Some actors can only speak lines written by others.

..other ones that can`t , argue about scripts and either move to top or the bottom accordingly.
There is a lovely commentary by Ridley Scott on one of my DVDs here, in which he quotes that he called Denzel Washington up, who asked "Is this project actually going to happen?"
Methinks the excellent Denzel is one actor that can adlib and chat.
