An American TV question
Feb. 17th, 2013 06:06 pmFor the group mind: does BBC America end up showing British series other than just BBC-originated series?
The reason I ask is that in the last couple of weeks I've heard Americans refer to Robin of Sherwood, Downton Abbey and the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series from the 1980s as 'BBC series'. None of them are, they are all ITV (as are The Avengers, The Tomorrow People, Children of the Stones, Upstairs Downstairs - the original version not the recent one - Danger Mouse and The Prisoner)
