I've been watching Doctor Who for 30 years now and all your great comedies for about 20. You guys are the best!

PBS also shows a lot of British shows, mostly comedies though. Over the years I watched Bennie Hill, Monty Phtyon's Flying Circus, The Two Ronnies, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin, Red Dwarf, Blake's 7, Keeping Up Appearances, and probably a few I can't think of. They show Dr. Who a lot but to tell the truth I've never been able to get into it.

I love dry British humor.

Yes, I love the sitcom set in the factory. The guy who says 'Is he havin' a laugh?' is hilarious.

I get PBS for free on American broadcast TV, I don't have cable or dish. On PBS I like to watch Mystery, and it shows things like 'Inspector Lynley' and I have watched every
part of it that has shown here. I also like to watch the old Brit Coms on PBS, but most are very old and are not very up-to-date. I wish we could get more British programs, and more current British programs.
