** Dean is (in his own words) "not an actor", and simply blurts out his lines with no understanding of what he's saying. He frequently stares off-camera at his lines, or glances down the barrel of the camera itself, and makes beginner mistakes such as turning towards the next person to speak before they start speaking. There are also lots of obvious edits in his scenes which make it clear he couldn't manage his longer speeches in one take, and his gestures and expressions are stiff, exaggerated, and completely without force or presence. (Making things even worse is how Thornton Reed is given some of the longest, most complicated, and most intensive monologues in the show.)

* AnAesop: Parodied in "Scotch Mist." Garth Marenghi defensively claims he wrote it "to heal Britain," and in theory the episode ''is'' about Dagless confronting his prejudices and trying to make amends to the people he's insulted and wronged. But because his vitriolic hatred of Scotsmen is ''so'' over-the-top, and because Marenghi's prejudices still clearly bleed through all over the episode itself, it isn't exactly fit for purpose.
