What British TV programmes get shown in USA/Canada?
 
I'm just wondering because we get loads of yank programmes, but I'm not sure if any other countries get any of our programmes, which actually aren't about posh people drinking tea wearing bowler hats

we have a British channel on cable. some i seen are absolutely fabulous. of courses Monty python. young ones. lots of shit i wouldn't watch. you guys have a very different sense of humor.

but yeah we have a 24 hour all bbc channel.

I don't think I get any brit channels, but there are some shows on occasionally. Faulty Towers and those sorts of shows.

Bartlett 11-09-2002 04:01 PM

so you haven't seen The League of Gentlemen or The Office?

ninty 11-09-2002 04:01 PM

Don't think so.

Bartlett 11-09-2002 04:04 PM

oh Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights is another one. try and dowload some episodes from Phoenix Nights and The Office, if you're sensible you should like them

Bartlett 11-09-2002 04:05 PM

Tripper 11-09-2002 04:06 PM

Well, Bartlett, unlike our less loyal commonwealth members... evil: ...like Canada...
....New Zealand channels play many a british made show...we get The Office, soooo funny! I love that show! Mockumentry at its finest!

I'm j/k Ninty, you know I would gladly hop in your canuck pants!

DEVILS ADVOCATE 11-09-2002 04:07 PM

We get a whole shitload of reruns from Faulty Towers, Black Adder, and Monthy Python. We also have BBC World. They have BBC canada and BBC kids but I don't have satellite or digital cable.

we get a few british shows...mainly really old ones..
Coronation Street, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, Blackadder, Yes Minister, who's line is it anyway (the original one) and monty python. And I think we might get Fawlty Towers. I never watch tv so I had to go ask my g/f -l- she's a brit.
I think that's it for regular cable.

Bartlett 11-09-2002 04:19 PM

The Office isn't a sitcom, like Tripper said, it's a mockumentary. Where abouts you up to in The Office Tripper, the second and final series has just finished here
