They absolutely murdered The Inbetweeners. :/
Brits do it best and im glad us aussies have more in common with you guys than we do with the yanks.
Most of the TV I watch is British shows....Personally, I don't understand doing American remakes, just air the original British shows, they're wonderful!
I love a lot of British TV shows. In fact I think there are more good shows on in the UK than here in the US. I watch QI, Have I got news for you, Russell Howard's good news, mock the week, Dr who, versa, mi 5, Bailey and Scott and so many others.
A really successful sitcom over here (UK) in the late 1970s/early 1980s was "Porridge" about a man - Norman Stanley Fletcher - and his life in prison.
Nothing was 'stolen', the rights were purchased from the original British station and an agreement was reached between the British and American networks.
Being Human. I loved that show (the original UK version).
Great presentations. Keep up the good work! 😀
do you know what the Americans need ... Gogglebox
They buggered up Spaced, Red Dwarf and Inbetweeners
I love these episodes of Anglophenia. Keep them coming, Siobhan.
Love your channel! One of the few I subscribe to and actually watch! Also, I HAAAAAVE to know where you got this amazing gold sweater!!!
There was a USA remake of Fawlty Towers.
Yeah but we have Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Entourage, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, 30 Rock, Game of Thrones, The Simpsons, Six Feet Under, Louie, Dexter, American Horror Story, It's Always Sunny, and 24 just to name a few.
I TOTALLY binge watched Broadchurch on Netflix over Christmas. So good!
Just found your videos! As a Brit living in America, they have been very useful in educating my american friends :)
I enjoy learning more about British culture, but not a fan of the off-hand comments about the USA. I didn't think that was what this show was about. Nonetheless, I do think it's interesting.
I loved The Inbetweeners! Then they did the American remake on MTV and it was sooooo bad. Ugh. Though, I didn't exactly have high hopes for it anyway. They literally copied everything exactly and Americanized it and it just didn't translate too well. A couple of years ago, I read that there was going to be an American version of Misfits. So glad that never happened. That DEFINITELY wouldn't translate well.
I could listen to your beautiful voice all day long. So perfect.
You scared me when you mentioned The Dukes of Hazard. There's a few BBC shows I absolutely love watching reruns of; "Are You Being Served", "Keeping up Appearances" and "As Time Goes By"
