[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 3685840, member: 1"] James Nesbitt. I'm not usually a fan of his, (I hated him and Rachel in [I]Cold Feet[/I]) but he was good in Jekyll. Yes, he has different, pointy, scary teeth in Hyde form. He also has a different hairline and other things. The whole series was on here earlier this year. The first episode didn't really grab me, but by the end of the third I was hooked and it stayed great up until the very end, although the actual [I]ending[/I] (last few minutes) disappointed me. I think a lot of that is formatting. US networks are often slaves to 45-minute shows (and hour with adverts), "sweeps", and long season lengths of 22-24 episodes. We tend to make the show last as long as it's needed - in this case, five (was it six?) episodes of a couple of hours each. Totally different broadcasting model (although [I]Doctor Who[/I] has adopted the American model). [/QUOTE]
