Is there a UK voice for the built in screen reader?

HDMI on your Mac Mini does support Audio Dilli but you need to make sure that you select the correct output target which you can do by opening the properties page (right or alt+click) behind the speaker icon on your desktop status/menu bar.

There's no reason why your BD writer won't work

If you're using text-to-speech there are a number of different UK English voices you can select from the Speech configuration pages in system properties. You'll be prompted to download and install when you select one.
