That is totally stupid. I could see if they called a Scotsman an Englishman. But Britain is a term which  encompasses all of the British Isles. Anyone Scotsman who says he isn't British is a total idiot.

I would very much avoid going down this road. I'm no true Scotsman (:))) but this could quickly anger anyone who is.

DragonEyes is correct. There is a connotation of "British" meaning "English," plus the British Isles wouldn't be the British Isles if England hadn't taken them over. The whole situation definitely angers people from Scotland. (Yes, they really are still annoyed about being under English rule; it's a sore point for the whole culture, and they commonly feel as though they are not treated fairly or given adequate representation.)

Sorry but then, how do you refer to all people from Great Britain. I always said "British" trying to be fair and I seldom use Englishman. I thougth Welshmen and Scottish saw themselves as British.

I liked the cast they had for the Dresden Files TV series.  Just drop the tv series continuity and start over with a theatrical version of Storm Front and switch the actresses who played Susan and Karyn back to their originally intended roles.  (They were switched in the series due to there being a a real Karen Murphy on the Chicago PD.)

I think Paul Blackthorne did a good job and when I read the books, I picture Harry looking just like him. 

Add Orlando Bloom as Thomas.  :)

I don't know any Welshmen, so I can't say from personal experience. If you're talking about all people from Great Britain, it is indeed easiest to say "British people." If, however, you're talking about one specific person or group of people from Scotland, I'd recommend calling them Scots. My Scottish friends gave me all kinds of hell until I started calling them Scotsmen. (They never punched me or anything, but they were my friends; they'd probably at least have screamed and threatened me if they didn't like me.)
Now, granted, I've never personally met Mr. Tennant, but I've seen a few subtle indications that he holds that Scottish attitude, despite residing in London. (In one interview, for example, he came very close to saying something about Margaret Thatcher, but he pulled himself back.)

Not going TT but it isn't just the Scots who say nasty things about Mrs Thatcher.

Anybody who things they are tough enough tell a Scotsman he is English in Glasgow on a Saturday night.

Well, English is another thing, of course.
Also, I will only say that I am from Argentina, remember?  :P

I liked Paul Blackthorne as Harry too. The face is right, even if the height is not. But then, heightwise, Harry is very difficult to cast. I mean, he's between 6'7" and 6'9". Not many people that tall who aren't built like football players, not lanky like Harry.

Speaking of football players, who plays Cujo Hendricks?  :D

He is a very tall man though, so I still think PB is the best option.
