Photos taken in a belgian department store. This is the ‘foreign department’ but there’s a whole wall dedicated to England (maybe the entire UK). Just slightly stereotypical.
Face it, they were. That stuff could burn through tanks.
Also, bubblegum was the best flavour.

My mother and I love this show. And my Business teacher looks like Theo Paphitis…

grangerschamber asked: From what I can gather, the reason the US can make their own versions of shows is because the BBC either sells, or shares the rights with/to an American T.V. station, and so rather than show the programme they've been sold/lent they decide to make their own. It happened with Fawlty Towers. It wasn't working, so the US T.V. channel that was making the US version got rid of a character... Can you guess which one? Basil Fawlty. The main character. Stupid, I know.
Oh, logic right there!
It seems that quite a few shows were dropped after their pilot episode… trying to recreate something that’s based on what I assume to be British humour (I’ve never watched Fawlty Towers, don’t like it, so I don’t know what it’s like…) is rather ridiculous. The only reason most British shows work is because they’re set in… well… Britain.
Even when Torchwood was half British half American it didn’t feel right, as there was more crimey-wimey stuff than let’s-shoot-aliens-stuff, more like an American crime show.
emmaopteryx asked: en.wikipedia,org/wiki/List_of_British_television_programmes_based_on_American_television_series this is the other way around one (: but it seems like we only took their game shows... (and law & order)
Ah! Thank you… …
Why did we only take their game shows?!
We don’t even need game shows…
conversepotter asked: Hello, I don't know if you've heard, but the US are doing their version of Only Fools and Horses. I'd just like to know your opinion on that..?
My opinion is that I dislike Only Fools and Horses and I’ve never watched it…
… I am rather confused as to how they think they can do so though. Like I do believe there were / are plans for the US to make their version of Sherlock? I don’t really get it…
I can’t recall ever seeing british producers recreating any American programs, we just show the American version. There’s no CSI: London, or a British version of a cartoon with yellow people… So I don’t understand why they can’t just show the British version, instead of having to make their own. Like Being Human, there’s a US version of that.
So really they should just show the British version of Only Fools and Horses, which I assume will make a lot more sense in it’s original form, and stop remaking everything.
There’s actually a wiki page of
“List of American television series based on British television series” but I can’t find one the other way around…
Thought this was pretty funny :)
