Although I'm not actually born here... I spend half of my life here...so I guess I can call myself semi-NZBC.

ITV is the rival TV channel to the BBC

EDIT: I should probably say broadcasting company rather than channel, they seem to have about 5 channels each...

I don't think brown hair or eyes would make someone look european (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) it's more to do with facial features. In my admittedly limited experience dark hair and eyes are more common among the Asian people I have met (including Japanese, Koreans, and people from different parts of China) than among those of largely European ancestry.
