Only Fool's And Horses! The best comedy ever.

Thank you Brits! for 90% of the TV.. I watch as an American. IMO Your shows have better acting with people who look like and sound like "real" people! I can't stand all of the" plastic " people in American shows, and the story lines aren't much better here. There are some exceptions of course. Eastenders is my favorite soap, and Benidorm is one of my favorite comedies. Although I have so many British favorites it's hard to choose!!😊🇬🇧

One thing that wasn't mentioned, which is quite different in the UK, is the "TV pickup". This is when the National Grid (the electricity supply for the country) has to ensure that there is enough power available at certain times during a particular TV broadcast that many people in the country are watching at the same time. It usually happens during big football matches, where at half-time and full-time lots of people switch on electric kettles for cups of tea and visit the bathroom during the break (pumps for the sewage system and water supply require huge amounts of electricity when everyone is using them at the same time). It has less of an effect these days due to the different ways we watch TV, but even now, the National Grid gets advance notice of the TV schedule so that they can anticipate the load on the system to avoid blackouts. Maybe a little outside the scope of the video, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention. 🙂

Less well known is that there is also a telephone pickup effect due to popular reality shows with phone-in votes. The phone companies have to increase capacity for the 15 minutes to an hour when millions of people all dial the same number! Otherwise, the network would just be swamped and everyone would get "engaged". I worked for BT at the time and it started with Noel Edmunds' "Swap Shop" on a Saturday morning, it basically crashed the UK phone network for the first few weeks!

Essential viewing if watching three old dudes rolling down a hill in a bathtub (or similar) week after week for forty years is what gets you high.

One of the main differences in episodes per season, is that for the UK bigger non-studio based shows, such as dramas, is how they're produced. An entire series (season) will be written, then planned then filmed in one long run. Then the episodes will be edited and sent to broadcast with ALL episodes available to the broadcaster. Sitcoms will have their entire series written before production starts, they'll then have a week of rehearsals, then film it live in studio with an audience (using real laughter track from the audience that night), then next day start the rehearsals for next episode. Most evening chat shows such as Graham Norton etc, are filmed the night previous to broadcast to keep it as current as possible. In US, most of the large drama productions are done episode by episode which increases cost and that's why there's mid-season breaks etc, so writers can catch up. It's also why a lot of good US shows suddenly start going in a weird direction that doesn't make sense.

The best way to understand panel shows is that they have two teams of celebrities and comedians competing against each other. The teams score points for answering questions, but in reality, nobody cares about who wins or whether they answer the questions. The questions are really just a springboard for comedians to improvise and generally mess around for our amusement. If you're watching one (like 8 out of ten cats, or the sister show 8 out of ten cats does countdown), don't worry if you don't understand the format as it's not important. Just enjoy the comedy banter. The panel show format really exploded in 1990 with a show called "Have I got news for you". Other shows worth a look are QI, Mock the Week and Would I lie to you.

He didn't mention this, but UK has a 21:00 watershed, after which it is ok to swear on TV. Not sure this is a thing on US TV. He mentioned The Graham Norton Show, well the guests drink and swear on this, Dustin Hoffman in an early appearance is like a little schoolboy with this freedom.

Favourite British TV shows: Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister. Morecambe & Wise, The two Ronnies.

There are no commercials on the BBC because they are funded by the TV license. On other channels, there are commercials, but still not to the extent there are in the US. EG - a star trek episode starts, we get the pre-title sequence, then the title sequence, then the first act.... THEN we'll get a commercial break, for 2-3 minutes, then back to the show. We'll go back to the show then get another commercial break about 15 minutes later and then the rest of the show. In the states, I remember seeing this: pre-title sequence, commercials, title sequence, commercials, first act, commercials, second act, commercials, third act, commercials, end credits. It a bit ridiculous because you can't get caught up in the show as you aren't watching the show, you're watching commercials with bits of program dropped in.

Panel shows are extremely popular here in the UK. I would say the most popular is Would I Lie to you. One person on a team tells an outlandish story and the other team has to cross examine and decide if it's true or not. The episodes you want to watch are the ones with Bob Mortimer in.

To clarify, in case they missed it, Absolutely Fabulous is the name of a show. They may have heard friends refer to it as AbFab. It stars Jennifer Saunders and was based off a premise in a sketch she did with Dawn French about a mother and daughter with reversed roles. Relatedly, another thing about British tv versus American is not only do the actors not all have to be gorgeous, but the characters don’t have to be likeable. I think this is in part due to the shorter seasons and differences in production.

Hi! We do get adverts/commercials on UK TV, but there’s no advertising on any BBC channels. So, when you watch a program on the BBC, it’ll run unbroken until the next program starts. And then, once your program’s finished, you’ve only got a minute or 2 of BBC filler footage before the next program starts. Hence, that’s why we pay for the TV license every year, as the BBC doesn’t make any money from advertising. There’s plenty of adverts/commercials on every other UK TV channel. I hope this helped. Phil.

I think the brevity of British shows is sometimes a stylistic choice too. Fleabag was perfect as it was, making it any longer would stretch the concept out of coherence. Better to do something well than to drag it out until everyone gets bored and hates it

There isn't really a "Doctor Who", the main character of the show is just "The Doctor". The title is a joke on the fact that he never gives his real name, and just goes by "The Doctor". He's a time traveling immortal who zips around the length and breadth of time and space having adventures. The sonic screwdriver is a tool he uses that..uh...basically does whatever the plot needs it to do. The doctor doesn't tend to use direct violence to overcome villains, and he tends to brilliantly outthink them instead. And since he doesn't have any weapons ,the sonic screwdriver is his tool of the trade instead.

Hi Natasha and Debbie! RE: Colour TV licences, this goes back to the 70s when TV stations first starting transmitting in colour.

B&W licenses were still available up until we switched to digital TV (around 2010?). B&W sets were all (ancient) analog sets so after digitisation they became redundant.

Before we had so many TV channels there was only BBC1, BBC2 & ITV. During the Ad/commercial break on ITV shows so many people got up to put the electric kettle on to make tea that the electric power company used ITV’s schedules to make sure that there would be enough power stations on line to cope with the demand.

One difference I still reckon is true is that you call it TV and we still call it television, telly, or even the goggle box.

If you think about, the UK was way ahead with having short seasons, as shows made for streaming platforms only have between 10 to 13 episodes a season because audiences like to binge them in manageable chunks

There are no adverts on the BBC that is what we pay the TV license. We get adverts on the commercial channels ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 plus all the sky and network channels

If you can get access to BBC America and it’s on the schedule, both of you would LOVE a tv programme called “All creatures great and small” (this version is a remake of a series first shown in the 70’s though) which is about a vet working in Yorkshire and is based on the books written by a real person named James Herriott, who really WAS a vet. The “true stories” portrayed in the shows are based on events that happened during his time working in the Yorkshire Dales with his two oppos, brothers Siegfried and Tristram Farnon (yes, really!) dealing with animals that you wouldn’t necessarily SEE in a veterinary building (think of animals that go mooo or snort!) The programme is essentially very British and is both heartwarming or sad, amusing or deadly serious about animal management and what is happening to our beautiful countryside. You will get to see the stunning Yorkshire Dales at its gloriest greenery and picturesque beauty in the Spring and Summer and it’s stark coldness in the depths of winter…and of course, it has animals in it! Now…the original series starred an actor called Peter Davison (he played annoying but dopey Tristram 🙄😀) who later on, starred as The Doctor in Doctor Who! Now that IS def on BBC America and is one of the highest rated programmes and there is a huge Doctor Who fan base out in the USA! Yes, in the UK, 99.99% of us, including young children, would know exactly what Doctor Who was about 😀 another programme running for 60 years (with a programme cancellation gap between years when some up and coming programme director thought it was past its best 🙄😡) - I watched it as a child and as it scared me she much, still to this day, cannot look down an Underground (meaning The Tube) railway tunnel incase a Yeti appears! 😂 as for other tv programmes - anything with Sir David Attenborough presenting…no need to explain why, the two names David…Attenborough ..

I cried happy tears watching Noel Fitzpatrick the super vet

We had something similar to Mr Rogers over her in the UK in the 90s in the form of a lady called Auntie Mabel in the show 'Come Outside' (a show on the toddler/pre school channel Cbeebies) She owned a dog called Pippin and flew all over the UK in her own polka dot plane and to find out how things worked or where things came from such as toothpaste for instance. 'Come Outside' was my favourite Cbeebies show as a Toddler.

Before that we had a show called Play School which filled the same sort of slot. I remember we had Play School and then Jackanory (a show where celebrities would sit and read a book to children) and finally Blue Peter, a show for older children about discovery and making things, it is still going, Ah happy days

The original UK Broadcast of The Muppet Show had whole bits, sketches, and songs that were cut from the US Broadcast because of commercials. I'm glad that Disney Plus has added most of those back in.

Hi from Surrey England 🇬🇧 love watching you guys you always brighten my day 😊

Doctor Who is like our Star Trek its a sci fi show still going today that started in the 60's. It's more Buffy the Vampire Slayer with aliens or The Lone Ranger in space. The Doctor is a lone Time-Lord who usually travels with a human companion and saves worlds, frees people and stops alien invasions of Britain. The Doctor travels thro time and space in the Tardis, bigger on the inside than on the outside and is camouflaged as an old Police Phone Box. It's as iconic and recognisable to us Brits as the starship Enterprise. Similar to James Bond The Doctor will get mortally wounded every few years and regenerate his/her whole body allowing another actor to play the role and freshen the series. The present 13th Doctor is the first woman to play the iconic role and we are awaiting news of her successor.

Mock the week, is a good example of a panel show with comedians, take a look

Yes I mentioned the Peak District its fabulous

​natasha and debbie we love you, who cares about the haters, YOUR EPIC never forget that, awesome couple

Good for you .

Went to states once and couldn’t watch tv, ads were absolutely brutal. Love how sport here has no ads during it

Great video! I’m glad I can still stream my favorite UK panel shows here - Would I Lie To You and QI 📺

I would vote the Lake District, only because I love the Lake District and I live in the Cotswolds. Sorry Debbie. Love you both equally though.

My votes for British TV shows for you to watch are The Vicar of Dibley, Ghosts, Father Brown and The Repair Shop. Just a few among many, many very good shows. Love the real Debbie, BTW!

There are times when the USA and UK sort of poach shows off each other and make their own versions like The Office. Except UK shows don't always translate as well when "Americanised" a famous British show called Red Dwarf which is a sitcom based in Sci fi about the last human being stuck on a mining ship 3 million years in deep space after an accident did not make it past a pilot episode that didn't even get aired. Americans didn't understand it and the main character who is supposed to be a lazy average looking guy with curry stains on his shirts in the American version they cast a tall hunky good looking guy.

Another big difference is Sponsorship. You have Sponsors for the Channel, Period of the Day, Type of show, and even for the Adverts themselves . Gee Wisss We're getting them all now. Thanks America, you're No.1.

It’s an oldie but Blackadder for me. Watch series 2,3 and 4.

Love blackadder, definitely a must x

Can't wait for travel Wednesdays 🙆‍♀️ Cotswolds first then the Lake District. Please take a look at The Forest of Dean too, one of my favourite places. Magical.

Yes, soap operas were once a massive part of the UK psyche. The UK's largest commercial TV channel, ITV, had a record of 24million viewers (50% of the UK population) watch a wedding in 1981. No, not the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, the marriage of Ken and Deirdre in Coronation Street!

Dr Who is in fact 60 this year but it is split into the original series which stopped airing in the 90's and a new version that started this century. The first series of that era had one Doctor but the actor didn't want to do more episodes and he was replaced by David Tennant who is one of our finest actors well worth catching if you can (not really a spoiler but when they change actors the Dr regenerates into the new person) currently it is Jodie Whitaker our first female doctor and rather like who is going to be the new James Bond who is the next Dr is loved by the press.

My favourite british tv shows are Merlin, dr who, being human

Countdown is a really long running show that I love but not sure if you like that kind of thing.. you have to make words out of letters and solve numbers lol. Also university challenge is really hard but good

As a child, my brother loved Dr Who, I hid behind the sofa, scared!! I had to go along when he was taken to a Dr Who exhibition, I nearly ruined it refusing to walk past the daleks!! The phrase 8 out of 10 cats, is from a Whiskas cat food advert that became a mantra! (Though cats I knew were the 2 out of 10!!) I vote Cotswolds, no bias, except I was born there!!

Loved the start of this hehe

if you get a chance watch 'Sherlock ' from episode 1....with Benedict Cumberbatch. Very British and well written.

The look on their faces when they heard that the BBC has no adverts was priceless! We are used to that and the infrequent breaks on the other channels. Last night I saw the American eclipse on a USA news channel on KZread and the number of times they had an advert break was really noticeable and irritating. That would drive me mad if I had to sit through that lot every day on all the channels.

Once in an Edinburgh student lounge I watched a film, a German female student was also watching and becoming increasingly agitated. After 45 minutes she asked "when are the commercial breaks?", I said in about an hour - she screamed and ran out.

She wanted permission to take a slash? Now I'm worried...

Dr Who was first broadcast as a weekly episode during what was then quaintly called "Children's Hour" on BBC when I was in my final year at prep in London in 1963. There was a respite for some years in the 90s, I think, but it was relaunched in 2003. The programmes have shown outside the UK in every country in Europe, Australasia, North America, and South America (except Cuba and Guyana), plus 20 African and 28 Asian countries.

Another difference seeing as you alluded to it is that ALL of the TV in the UK is National. We're half the size of Florida so even the weather forecasts are the whole country

Always great banter between you both x

Back in the day, TV shows were given either a full or a half series (season). A full series was usually 13 episodes and a half was either six or seven episodes. This meant that the TV year was split into approx. 5 seasons - New Year, Spring, Summer (mainly repeats), Autumn (the big one) and Winter/Christmas. Dramas were usually a full series of hour-long shows while sit-coms got a half series of half-hour shows. Even shows bought in from the USA would be broadcast in this format. As was stated in the video, most UK shows were written by one or two people (or at most a very small team) who could only produce a certain amount of output. Because of this a lot of great shows only ran for a couple of series as the creators stopped before the shows got stale or repetitive e.g. Monty Python (4 series) Fawlty Towers (2), Porridge (3), The Sweeney (4) and so on. This has changed a bit over the years with series lengths becoming more fluid, but you still won't see a UK non-soap drama running 24 episodes a year. Re. ad breaks, an hour of US network scripted show will be about 43 minutes. in the UK, an hour on ITV/C4/C5 (commercial TV) will be about 48 minutes and on BBC about 56 minutes. Many UK shows will be cut for ad breaks on US TV so if you are going to look for UK shows try to get the uncut versions.

I literally just took my son back to uni yesterday and drove through the Cotswolds and thought of you both. No time to stop and take any photo for you unfortunately.

only fools and horses is an epic show and it crowd

My favourite TV shows are Live At the Apollo (stand up comedy televised), and Mock The Week (a panel show with stand up comedians discussing current affairs. I do think a lot of the humour would translate well though). There's a lot of KZread videos for both LATA and MTW, that will give you a taster of them...

Dr. Who was great. Brings back so many childhood memories. I still watch it to this day. You definitely gotta check it out 🤣

It started as a Radio licence and when TVs came in it turned into the television licence. You used to have a dog licence till the 80s to.

We used to have a radio license pre TV, then a black and white TV needed one, when colour TV came along the license increased (of course). Dr Who began in 1963 three years after Coronation St, but unlike Corrie it isn't on all the time. I love the lakes, I love being near water, the Cotswolds are beautiful too, but not as watery. Give my love to Tyson ❤️🐕🐕🐕

My favourite British TV shows? 1. As Time Goes By, starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, as a former nurse and a former army Officer, who meet again, 38 years after they lost touch. 2. A Fine Romance, starring Judi Dench and (her then husband) Michael Williams, as a translator and a struggling landscape gardener (both socially awkward), who meet at a party staged by her sister. 3. On The Up, starring Dennis Waterman and Judy Buxton, as a constantly fighting husband and wife, he being a self made millionaire (who retains his working class roots), who runs a chauffer driven car hire company, and her a socialite, who looks down her nose at him and his live in staff.

As always lovely to see you love and peace from Wolverhampton England

i love watching any nature programme with the legend david attenborough in it

If you go onto KZread you can look for a British comedy programme (show) called Dinner Ladies, which was written and starred the late Victoria Wood, who was a genius (she played the character Bren). If you want a laugh look for Victoria Wood and the Ballad of Freda and Barry.
