I get PBS for free on American broadcast TV, I don’t have cable or dish. On PBS I like to watch Mystery, and it shows things like “Inspector Lynley” and I have watched every part of it that has shown here. I also like to watch the old Brit Coms on PBS, but most are very old and are not very up-to-date. I wish we could get more British programs, and more current British programs.

Answer #5

yeah we have the BBC network. we also have a few british shows here and there on other channels too. but I REALLY wish we had the show Skins in america, because I love it!! but sadly I have to watch it on youtube lol, since it obviously doesn’t air here.

Answer #6

PBS also shows a lot of British shows, mostly comedies though. Over the years I watched Bennie Hill, Monty Phtyon’s Flying Circus, The Two Ronnies, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin, Red Dwarf, Blake’s 7, Keeping Up Appearances, and probably a few I can’t think of. They show Dr. Who a lot but to tell the truth I’ve never been able to get into it.

I love dry British humor.
