Last time I was in the USA I discovered that British TV does get shown over there but it tends to be on PBS and vintage comedy like Monty Python. So there's a basic truth about this:
" For years it tended to be mostly one-way traffic, with Anglophiles restricted to watching imports on cable channel BBC America and the big four US networks selling their best comedies and dramas to the BBC and Channel 4."
However, something is happening,
"... 'This summer, they've latched onto the British entertainment market and decided to take a risk on it.' Because of the lack of experience on those types of shows, the US networks have had to import British talent to make and present them."
Who says Brits can't do popular entertainment? But maybe that's not a good thing?
