BBC America
As a UK Expatriate, living in America getting acclimated to American T.V. was “different” to put it mildly. When we lived in New York, we were able to watch a lot of British shows on the local PBS channels. It’s not that American shows are unwatchable, because in the U.K. we do get a lot of programming from the U.S. I suppose it’s more of a longing for something familiar and BBC America tries to bring that touch of “English” to the American “Soul”.
As a Briton residing this side of the pond, having few T.V. programs that you can watch week-to-week with a British slant is made easier with the existence of BBC America. At EtaBlog, this is one of our favorite channels to watch. The shows are high quality the comedies are in true British humor tradition.
One of our favorite shows, “The Dragon’s Den”, will almost certainly be on American T.V. in the near future. Another one of our favorite comedies is “Absolutely Fabulous” and although not in current rotation on BBC America, you can watch all the episodes at your leisure by clicking on the banner below. You will also find links to many other British shows and other media.
