Brit Babe Invasion: The TV Edition
The British are coming! The British are coming! Well, the British women, anyway. (Okay, there are some men, too, but we don’t really care for them all that much here. It’s British women or bust, baby!) If you’ve turned on the TV recently, you’ll notice that British babes are all over the place, some fronting new shows, and others co-starring in them. Leading the pack is Michelle Ryan, who came from EastEnders to star in NBC’s Bionic Woman, followed by Anna Friel (ex-Brookside) in ABC’s Pushing Daisies, and then there are Sophia Myles and Lena Headey from Moonlight and The Sarah Connor Chronicles, respectively. And let’s not forget Parminder Nagra, who is in her, what, 50th season of ER? For a full list of British Babes invading American shores, check out here. For now, let’s get to the pictures.
Brit Babe Invasion: Anna Friel
Anna Friel first came to my attention playing Lady Claire in the crappy sci-fi movie “Timeline” (which really is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, and I love time travel movies), and then later she starred in “Goal! 2: Living the Dream…” because, one presumes, just one “Goal!” (exclamation mark necessary) wasn’t enough for the world. But hey, who am I complaining. We got to see more of Anna Friel, who hails from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, which I’m told is greater than Lesser Manchester. Um, yeah. Here’s Anna Friel.
