British TV Shows

[Amby 490]

Last week I posted about seeing Keith Floyd on the Travel Channel and palinespens said we should start a thread with Brit TV shows in the US. WHAT A GOOD IDEA!

9:00am CST Keith Floyd on Travel Channel (I think Mon-Fri)

[no name 1]

BBC America.

Keeping Up Appearences 7pm on KET (Kentucky Educational Televisions PBS) followed by As time goes By at 8pm.

I did see a trailer for Prime Suspect but forgot the channel name.

BBC America? Unusual choice Devilette

Apart from liberal doses of BBC stuff, BBC America also shows stuff formerly on ITV or Channel 5.

Alot of PBS stations will show re-runs of Are You Being Served? and Keeping Up Appearences plus a few costume dramas normally the preserve of BBC Sunday evenings. The Biography Channel sometimes shows Midsomer Murders and Inspector Morse, the SciFi channel shows Doctor Who and the History Channel and History International will generally wheel out some dig with Tony Robinson or the life of a Tudor monarch as presented by Simon Schama or David Starkey. The father and son team of Dan and Peter Snow also appear on the History Channel using computer graphics to show how the British army defeated the French/Germans/Spanish/Dutch (delete as appropriate) on their Battlefield Detectives show. Watch out for the Teletubbies and Thomas the Tank Engine (with Yank voice overs) on kids channels. Besides showing poker, the The Travel Channel does show a few UK related holiday shows. The Discovery Times channel will often show documentaries on London, be it the adequacy of it's flood defences or how the Underground railways work and finally if the National Geographic channel isn't showing a whale documentary narrated by Leonard Nimoy, it may well show Seconds From Disaster which 50% of the time is some dreadful mishap on one of Britain's railways or airlines.

I need to get BBC America...I'm addicted to Hollyoaks and miss it dearly. It's so sad that I like the show I'm not a student.

We watch Graham Norton. He is so freaking hilarious. I'm not into British soaps tho - like Hollyoaks/Coronation St/etc...

there's this site called Veoh and they have some Brit TV shows that you can watch free online. The only one I've actually watched was last year's Robin Hood that was on BBC because we left before the series was over

Planet Earth is often showed on the Discovery channel. I am glad that I get Ramseys kitchen nightmares (so much better than the US version) and I love that I can get Top Gear over here, and also coupling. (Do wish they would show Only fools and horses over here, that was my fav show).

Never really liked any of the soaps in the UK.
