I'm American and my little brother recently introduced me to Doctor Who. I've seen 5-6 episodes now and I love it. Long live the Doctor.

love merlin, and the first two seasons of robin hood were really good. but

SPOILER ALERT

would use spoiler box, but i still haven't figured out how. After marian dies, the show sucks,and the ending, is quite possibly the worst ending to a tv show i have ever seen.

END SPOILER

I like Dr. Who, Torchwood, Being Human, MP's Flying Circus, Top Gear, Blackadder, The Secret Show; and while I haven't seen a great amount of it, I've a pronounced fondness for A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

I swear, Alabama would be frightfully boring without the BBCA.

Yes. I'm Dutch and I think BBC is one of the best channels I can receive. The humor, the detectives, and the movies in particular.
Just replace "Dutch" with Canadian. BBC's possibly my favourite channel on TV.

I'm american and love whats on the BBC. They had one of the greatest shows either side of the pond.

POlus, they had the most epic documentary. It was about chicks with HUGE breasts and how living with (natural) K sized breasts were a curse or something like that.

Yeah, I love Charlie Brooker's Newswipe


And Monkey Dust Forever, although I didn't watch that many episodes of it. I might get around to watching more later, but it's one of those shows that I just stopped watching for some reason.

And of course everything Monty Python ever did.

I'm addicted to the quiz panel shows. QI, Have I Got News For You, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week and a smattering of a few other. Argumental is another show that has piqued my interest.

I'm an American and I mostly watch British television. Hooray for the interwebz!

I'm American, and I've been watching through the 10th doctor's tenure. I watched Jeeves and Wooster too. Had to stop that one because of the stupidly catchy theme song.

Yes, but I'm not aware of many of them. Thank you escapist for telling me about some of them though (like fry and laurie) because they often kick ass.

I rather enjoy Doctor Who, Monty Python, some of Benny Hill, some of the Graham Norton Show, and bits of Torchwood.

I AM! I LOVE BRITISH SITCOMS AND SCIENCE FICTION!

*calms down*

Okay, sorry about that. I love British shows. Better than the stuff I have here by a longshot.

I'm Aussie and I find that we tend to have more in common with British humour than American humour.

As such I love Bottom, The Goodies, Extras, Red Dwarf, The Kenny Everett Television Show, The Young Ones and Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Yeah, I can think of quite a few BBC shows that are popular here in the US - Monty Python certainly. I myself recently discovered the Catherine Tate Show. Seriously, if you haven't watched it, I strongly recommend you do. I also used to be into Jeeves and Wooster and Mr Bean back in the day. Then there's the Planet Earth series(not really a show, but BBC produced), which is outstanding.

Actually, I haven't had cable since around the time that most TV became about either cops and lawyers or idiots competing to marry another idiot. I watch all my TV on netflix, so I don't have to wade through as much crap to find a decent show.

I am an American and I like The IT Crowd, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Doctor Who. I have seen clips of Blackadder and that shows seems pretty funny. What is the show Red Dwarf about?

Top Gear is easily one of my favourite shows on television anywhere. I have also seen all episodes of The IT Crowd that are out atm. Obviously I've seen most of the classics, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers etc. Is Mr. Bean on BBC? I've seen every episode of that too.

I go for the funny stuff.

Father Ted, Black Books, The I.T. crowd, and Red Dwarf.
