• "where he read Theology," - Read or studied?

• I was under the impression that they meant the same thing in AmE and BrE, "read" being the BrE term. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

• "Midshipman" - big m or small m?

• I've changed it to small m.

• Couple of these quotes could be paraphrased. ""didn't know what to expect. But I soon realised he was a pretty normal guy." for example

• I shortened/paraphrased that quote, but think the others are OK

• "Pirkis thought about the death of a family friend and completed it in two takes." - Perhaps clarify that he completed the scene in two takes and not the thoughts

• I've reworded this one. Let me know if my changes were what you intended.

• placed into a bank - a bank or a trust fund?

• This interview says a bank and this one simply says his earnings were "locked away".

• 4th Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards. - Perhaps note its origin

• I'm not sure what you mean here - should I mention who awards the prizes?

• Tom Shales' quote could be trimmed / paraphrased a bit

• I've trimmed it

• In BrE is it "second season" or "second series"?

• I changed to "second series".
