it's also why a US show can be cancelled half way through a run, whereas UK shows that simply doesn't happen to because the shorter series mean production is already complete. It makes it less of a risk for the channels to try something new as well.
a quick FYI, Whites wasn't cancelled, so much as it wasn't re-commissioned. British telly is usually filmed as complete series, finishing production months before broadcast. Unlike the US trend of still being in the middle of filming a series when the 1st episode is broadcast. The main reason for this difference is that the USA is obsessed with having 20+ eps in a series to keep people coming back because there's so much more channel ratings competition, whereas UK series tend to be 6-12eps.
Dont know if you'll read this Dodger, but if you like Sci-Fi shows, mixed with comedy, a great British show would be Red Dwarf! I only bring this to your attention now, because soon (December 2011) they are making a new season! HUZZAH! My fav show... new season. Oooooh yeah! =P
How does one even get sick of American Television? Simple - companies think it's a great idea to cash in on "the latest and coolest" *coughhipsterscough* and end up producing... well; let's face it - generic rehashed shit. I have my prime example of this. But i feel this is the wrong place to mention it. But yeah, that's true that american tv shows (generally speaking) do forcefeed you the same old thing you're used to over and over again.
I'm relatively new to BBC shows. "top gear" is one of my all-time favorites. i have seen "sherlock" and "luther" (more current shows) and they are amazing! i want to try to get into "doctor who."
I was going to comment and say that you should watch "The IT Crowd"....but both of the top comments say that soooo.... yeah. Its funny!! You should watch it :)
I recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Dead Set, Red Dwarf, Green Wing and The IT Crowd.
You really really really should catch up with Doctor Who. Steven Moffatt, who is the show runner of Sherlock, is now in charge of that and it's AMAZE-ZING! On that note you may enjoy Jekyll and the original British version of Coupling.
@fusionfallplayer6000 I also hate when people said they hate Doctor Who so much (especially my friends) because they always said that they cannot understand it, and that it's BRITISH. Still, Doctor Who is awesome and epic. Matt Smith an epic, spectacular, and beautiful acting. He is amazing. :D
Somebody previously mentioned Life on Mars, the BBC version (amazing) and Ashes to Ashes branches off of that series as well, and I really liked it! Saxondale, Gavin & Stacey (it’s a cute show, trust me), Black Books, Poirot, Wallander, Cracker (Robbie Coltrane!), and oh so many more.... I grew up on British crime dramas and mysteries. I know them well. I just started watching Sherlock because it’s on Netflix, easy new favourite!
Would I Lie to You is definitely a show you have to watch. Absolutely Hilarious. David Mitchell & Lee Mack FTW!!!
Also the original UK version of Life on Mars is awesome. Much better than the US version. If you like crime shows with a twist, then that's definitely the show for you.
some really good shows on netflix, spaced, IT Crowd, Saxondale, Little Britain, and some not on netflix, Spaced, Bottom, Mighty Boosh, The Young Ones, Black Books, Shane (Frank Skinner), Red dwarf, Alan Partridge and the Top Gear Specials thats all I can think of right now.
@UKCerberus oh yeah and there is phoenix nights, max and paddy road to nowhere (watch phoenix nights first) Mock the week, and if you like music watch never mind the buzzcocks. Alot of the time you might not know some of the celebs but it is hilarious
probably get people in the US that might love holly oaks or coronation street - but, theyr still crap shows - but then i lived in london long enough to know that
Bob and Rose, has alan davies in it and is written by the old head writer of doctor who, also anything with rowan atkinson in it, especially black adder and mr bean
I was just away to mention the it crowd i think im going to add the funniest link iv ever seen for the it crowd /watch?v=PcwHdhii5hY you have to watch this dodger its sooooo funneh but just add youtube.com before the /watch
CAMELOT :DD im 15, i juust finished watching first series awesome show i also love all the shows you just said except for qi or qr or whatever i havent seen that one before haha, but camelot is like a merlin but for adults :) so good defs suggest :)))
Hi Dodger :D. I reccomend, Blackadder, Mr Bean, Dads army, Fawlty Towers, Colditz, Mock the Week, Have I Got News For you, Luther, Last of the Summerwine, Top Gear. :)
I love uk tv of course being english but id like to see more american shows over her, and the new dr who with matt smith is good but david tennant was better
I would take this series out on a date...fuck it, marry it...spend the next 20 years with it...then get divorced, lose all my fucking money, get fired...and then 10 years later on my second marriage with Doctor Who still come back to Spaced...and in the morning, when we wake up togehter in shame after the birthday party which im still invited too...i would marry Spaced again...
Inbetweeners!! FatherTed!! Extras!! Nuf' said mate.
