"Great British Entertainment" Disappears...
My favourite cable channel BBC Japan is no longer available, so I'll no longer be watching the following fine programmes:
- The Catherine Tate Show
- Blackadder
- Red Dwarf
- Dalziel and Pascoe
- Absolutely Fabulous
- Fawlty Towers
- The League of Gentlemen
- Ready, Steady, Cook
- 10 Years Younger
- Eastenders
- What Not To Wear
- Jonathan Creek
- Monarch of the Glen
- Mastermind
- My Family
- The Mrs Bradley Mysteries
- To The Manor Born
- As Time Goes By
Why have they done this to me?!

You can always take advantage of our ever growing collection of British comedy DVDs. It's all part of Hiro's education.

And I must have a dirty mind, because I thought one of those shows read "Ready, Steady, Cock"

MF: I'm actually considering writing a letter so they know that at least one person is interested in getting it back!

That sucks! Why did they stop this channel? You gotta love a good episode of "What Not To Wear." We like both the British and American versions, but truly enjoy a good Trinny and Susannah fashion battle.

That's awful! I would hate to lose that channel - some great programming there. I love Blackadder, Ab Fab, Fawlty Towers and As Time Goes By. I haven't watched any of the other shows you mention, but I'm sure they're hysterical - as most British humor.

If you get BBC America Elsa, I highly recommend the other shows on my list :D

WHAT ABOUT DR. WHO?
We used to have a channel like that in America- it was PBS. Back in the 70's, 80,s & early 90s, you could see all of those shows for free. Then they realized that American fans would shell out big $ for VHS tapes, and suddenly all those shows went off the air.
I love Red Dwarf. I wish they'd make more before everyone gets too old.

Welcome Tony, I'm not sure if Dr Who was on BBC Japan?! And I agree that Red Dwarf is smeg-tastic :D
