Curious in America !
What U.S. stations if any, does your "skynet" get?
any opinions ? favorites ? I have "Dishnet" here. USED to have LOTS of channels but had to cut back. But when I did...all I had "from you", sort of, was "BBC America". Not THAT much of a fan of your newer shows.....I like the classics........... "Being Served"......"Keeping Up Appearances"...."The Dave something Show" .............................. (Irish guy used to sit on a stool, smoke, and do monologs)....plus a bunch i'm forgetting at the moment..... (Python, of course, too.) Tony From America. |

I read somewhere that in America they always used to censor the end of the Benny Hill show where he catches the girls and rips all their clothes off. Is that true?

I don't mind reading Gorman's books but in his prime Allen was amazing... and a reasonable actor too. -- Paul (Need a lift she said much obliged) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

@k70g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: What U.S. stations if any, does your "skynet" get? There are no US stations broadcast to the UK apart from European versions of CNN CNBC & Bloomberg that I know of. There are a number of channels that have primarily American backers eg the Disney Channels, Paramount Comedy, the Discovery Channels etc. For a full list of channels available through the Sky package with current programmes see http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/tvlistings or more easily on www.onthebox.com Sky is the only comprehensive English language satellite pay-tv package in the UK / Ireland - for an idea how the service is parcelled up and paid for go to www.sky.com and pretend that you are a new customer who wants to sign up for a new service. If you wander through the listings you will see that a number of channels carry a large number of USA shows, the more mainstream channels (BBC 1, 2, 3, 4, ITV1, 2, 3, 4, Channel 4 ) less so. Channel 5 carries a number of USA crime shows particularly on a Saturday evening - and in my view these (CSI & L&O) are the only ones worth watching. By and large american television, particularly the comedy is rubbish! |

Good God !!!..........( as James Brown might yell ! )
I am OVERWHELMED by your many responses ! Thanks very much !!! Fox News eh? I'll bet Bill O'Reilly goes over well there !!! "Dave Allen at Large" right ? always the drink and smoke in hand, sitting on the stool....loved his monologs....the sketches were a bit "hokey" though ! (sorry ....not familiar with Gorman !) I first saw Benny (God rest his Soul) on what we call Public TV....WAY back in my late teen years (I'm 49)......NO !!! .....we WERE INDEED treated to the brazzieres and garters in Chicago as well !!! (On the other hand a "Bible Belt" TV station , say in Mississippi, MIGHT censor....A LOT more than what someone in NYC or LA, or Chicago.....sees !!!) I also remember circa ' 74 '75, me and my brother looking SO FORWARD to Monty Python (reruns) every Sunday night !!! (Also on "Public TV") God I'd laugh so hard (at Python) it was all I could do not to **** my pants !!! (excuse the vulgarity.) I probably missed some posted responses....but thanks again for the links and feedback. Such a load of rubbish that the English are cold and reserved !!! (We ALL KNOW.....that's the GERMANS !!!) (HAH HAH HAH HAH !!!) I suppose I can be forgiven for not responding to EACH and EVERY POST on this subject !!! It's not like this board is some sort of Spanish Inquisition or something ! (?) Chicago Tony OH YEAH....another show that MESSED with my HEAD and OPENED my EYES as a lad, was .................................. "The Prisoner" !!! Is Patrick Mcgoohan still alive ?
