I'm hooked on some old British comedies--Keeping up Appearances, the Young Ones, Vicar of Dilby, AbFab, ... I have a total crush on the guy from Hamish Macbeth (Robert Carlyle) and love that show. I really liked Changing Rooms (never liked the U.S. version) and What not to Wear (hated the U.S. version)...
Dexter is awesome.

All US television went digital last year but we didn't bother - so no connection for us. But it's no loss - our screen time is mostly watching British tv series checked out from our local library.

Hi, and welcome
I'm one of a number of posters from Canada. I don't know if we have any other posters living in England but I do believe there is one mom in France and one in Germany amongst others.

Have you ever seen A Rising Damp? It's one of my favorites. I love British TV too, though i think I can be a bit of an anglophile sometimes. Originally Posted by larig

heehee Im the total opposite, i find british tele fairly boring (with a few exceptions) and i far prefer American tele! Originally Posted by mommylamb

Can i ask, what age do kids start proper school in the US? In England they tend to start informal nursery school at age 3 then at age 4 they start "proper" school wich is called Reception.
