Not sure if/where you would get Canadian shows in the UK. There are many UK shows that air in Canada..comedies, dramas, mysteries, home stuff, etc. I'm not sure there is a particular reason why but UK tv has always had some profile in Canada. Other than the top two commercial networks almost everyone else has at least some British programming.
Its good to see UK stuff on Canadian TV, but how comes we in the UK don't get any Canadian TV back? Is there a particular appeal for british programmes in Canada, if so which ones and why?
I think it is because most Canadian shows contain a lot of references to Canadian culture other nations might not understand. I tried showing my American and South African friends the progams 'Corner Gas' and 'Little Mosque on the Prairie", and they were so lost.
Canada has always felt strong ties with Britain, because until recently, we were a British colony. Many of us still have very similar tastes as the people in the UK as a result.
ive seen little mosque on the prairie and its quite good. being a smallish nation im sure a lot of us brits would get most of the nuances
