@ranckgarman Gotta disagree. The BBC version is flat out better. I know, lots of my fellow Americans like the US one better, but the original is such a subtle, complete, well-paced work of art that they really aren't in the same class. Just the background action and the way they play with the documentary concept (Brent's constant showing off, Tim's exasperated looks to the cameraman) make it SO much funnier and more rewarding, especially on repeat viewings. Plus it didn't drag on FOREVER.

The most ridiculous thing Brent has ever said!

Meh I prefer the US version by a long shot.

No question which is better. One is comedy, one is a sitcom.

@ryz86 Oi hands off!!! :p

[harryjohnston14]

The reason why. The reason why. The reason why I had to die, did I bleed the blood of greed what was my destiny?

@Thr89ust i dont know why but ive always been British bias :P they just seem to be more down to earth, fun & their humor makes u laugh just a little bit more :P probably why all my long term relationships have been with British women

[Thr89ust]

@ryz86 its a completely different culture, they don't react the same way as we do in many social situations so they need a dfferent version. Glad to here you colonials still have a sense of humour though. jkjk

I think despite the US version being stretched out and exaggerated in many different ways, it's still one of the funniest shows on television.

US and UK programmes are different....''i believe we've established that'' (Partridge)....Stop comparing them just on premise of one is UK and one is US therefore.....it cant work like that. Arguments are pointless without an overriding objectional view, of which we cannot do...Why doesnt Gervais do this..hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ryz86]

UK shows = more relatable and down to earth/realistic. US = shallow crap like secret life of a teenager and the hills making ppl ugly beings of narcissism and self absorption

[ryz86]

@joeboyle1987 i just dont understand why they do it, life on mars was excellent UK series and US did the exact same thing remake it with slight changes / different actors. i think americans hear a different accent and immediately dont give a show a shot (not everyone just the ignorant majority) i thinks its an attitude towards media from other nations rather than to do with the shows themselves. Im from australia and i always prefer british shows but some reason our networks show US garbage
