Thank you for this. It boggles my mind how some seem to think that he should express - what they presume to be - his outrage toward the BBC & RTD. Even if this outrage does exist, he'd be a fool to bite the hand that could possibly feed him in the future. He does not have the star power of DT (and to a lesser extent, JB). He's a young man trying to establish a career during a time in which steady jobs in the industry, both here in the US and across the pond, are extremely hard to find.
As someone whose previous job was eliminated a few months ago, I understand why GD-L would maintain a professional demeanor. Yes, my previous job was eliminated, but because I did not rail against the company and (to use a British expression) flounce off when the decision was announced, I was able to obtain another position with the company. Those who (directly or indirectly) assert belittlingly that he's kissing the collective butt of the BBC/RTD, should try to remember that for us (the fen) it's entertainment, but for the actors not only is it an artistic outlet, but it's also a means of keeping a roof over their heads and food in their mouths.
