Hey, don't know if anyone would be interested here (I was guessing they would), there is an interview with Charles Cecil of Broken Sword and Beneath A Steel Sky fame over at Midlife Gamer. You can see it here:

In it, he talks about why the British make great games, how a new IP point and click is still a viable option in today's market, and how he doesn't agree with David Jaffe on narrative.
Thank you for this link. It's always interesting to hear what old school game developers have to say!
