In America, are any English TV shows aired?

I've seen the BBC sometimes, but I really don't know. I'd assume so.

I remember that we used to watch Are you being Served? in the States.

But I think there's an American BBC which has English shows?

Several years ago "Absolutely Fabulous" was extremely popular. Back when I was in college I was addicted to "The Young Ones". Usually if American producers like a British T.V. show they reshoot it in America. That's what happened with "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and "The Weakest Link"...they even brought the host of the Weakest Link show over from the U.K.

we have a BBC here in the US, but it is really weird because it shows US shows and it is just like one of our channels, so i don't know, maybe they are not affiliated ro anyhting, but it is just odd

Exactly. When my brother went to America he couldn't beleive how many commercials there are. We only get one per show which lasts about 3-4 minutes. On the BBC there are no commericals, not even between shows

On BBC america they show a show called Changing rooms.It's about neighbors switching each others houses and designing them for them and hoping that they'll like it.

Yeah, changing rooms comes on t.v here

I used to be a HUGE fan of Red Dwarf, but they've taken that off. And I usually hate soap operas ( american soap operas at least) but I'm mad about EastEnders here. In fact it comes on in about 30 minutes! But I also watch " As time goes By", " Are You being served?", " The Vicar of Dibley (sp?)", " Kiss me Kate" and just about any British show they have on PBS. That's the only place I can get it from since I don't have the international channel or BBC.

I used to love Red dwarf! Me and my brother were fanatics and we would always watch it every friday. Eastenders is also great, I've been watching it since I was 7!

Yeah, where I'm at we're about 2 years behind what's going on now in britain. The slaters and millers haven't even come to the square yet. I'm trying to find a site with some old episodes so I can catch up!

Havn't they? The millers are really funny
