I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything, to forge my own path, to think, to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.

A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots a guard against the elements and strangers. By contrast the good ol' American front porch seems to stand for positivity and openness a platform from which to welcome or wave farewell a place where things of significance could happen.

Soap opera seems to be a dirty word, but actually they are the most popular shows we have. People want to know what happens next, people hate the villains and love the lovers. It's good, fun TV. But I wouldn't call 'Downton' a soap opera as such.
