The Brit List: 20 Coolest

[ericadawn16]

Last week, BBCA had The Brit List: 20 Sexiest...
SO DISAPPOINTING!

Still, I recorded this week's The Brit List: 20 Coolest but I didn't advertise it or watch it until tonight...

IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!

First of all, fourth coolest British thing EVER?

Doctor Who!

Yes, they mentioned more than just Ten and Eleven.

Then, they had Idris Elba in the ad so I thought...well, it'll be like Tom last week and he'll have like two seconds...

NUMBER SEVEN! or possibly six, I was too excited to keep track especially since this came right after...

The Next Coolest

"Up now we're featuring the Brits who just missed out on being on our list. They're up and comers about to break big. So, you may not know much about them yet but since we're friends, I wanted to give you a heads up and let you in on the coolest emerging Brits ready to take over the colonies."

SHOW TOM HIDDLESTON NOW!

"Tom Hiddleston"

YES!

"He's a classically trained stage actor, soon to be a big-time Hollywood movie star. Just in the past year, he's worked with Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg and Kenneth Branagh and his cool factor goes up 1,000 notches this summer as he plays the super villain Loki in The Avengers. He's got it all: talent, good looks and he's totally cool."

ACK! They actually showed Tom in the 20 Coolest show? CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP! I didn't bother with it because after the debacle of the 20 Sexiest show, I didn't see a point. Blast! Well, hopefully they'll re-run it sometime soon...

Would it make you feel better to know they were all still photos?

Later, they had Shakespeare as one of the cool people. I thought they should have had Tom talking. Of course, it's Shakespeare so you would have to edit six hours down to a 30 second soundbite but it still would have been worth it.

Yeah, I figured that. I would have been amazed if they had actually devoted a few extra seconds to show video footage of him. *end sarcasm* ;)

But no worries anyway. BBCA is supposed to be showing it again on Tuesday, after the 20 Baddest show, so I'll probably be able to catch it then.

Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to the baddest show...I assume they'll have Gary Oldman but I'm not sure who will interest me other than that...

Also, I should warn you about the toy balls. They don't correspond to color. My Steve Rogers was in a green ball.

Ok, thanks! I'll remember that. I checked at Wal-Mart and didn't see them, so I'll have to have a look at Toys'R'Us sometime.

I think they're only at Toys'r'us.

I want to see the Coolest list now. I am so glad Tom Hiddleston was on the list!

They repeated it on Tuesday but it's BBCA so they might repeat it again.

I'm hoping once he wins the poll that there might be more...
