American television producers should leave British shows alone as everytime they try to make an American version of a British tv show, they screw it up. Leave other countries tv shows alone and start coming up with some of your own decent shows instead of all the crap that’s currently being shown on network and cable channels.
Defiently Doctor Who. I love this show. It is so brilliant, and I could definetly see an American version of this show. I can’t think of who should play The Doctor right now, or his companion, but hey that is what auditions are for, right? If this was turned into an American version, I would most likely watch this on a religious basis!
wtf
an american version of little britain
right , yea coz that would work =s
plus u cant do little britain without matt lucas and david williams
it wouldnt be little britiain
stop stealing r shows, go make ur own
ones, they r amazing when u do come up with an idea, and i cant say the american office was bad coz i didnt watch it, it could have been briliant
but its just annoying, coz we all know u can make ur own ones,
and when u do, there normally great
xxxx
Rather than attempting to take a show and “Americanize” it, (which is where the problems start, as nobody seems to agree what “Americanize” means), just produce GOOD shows. Like the Middleman, which IS in many ways an American version of Doctor Who.
Badass but charming superhero with sassy assistant fighting “Peter-piping weirdos” while delivering wise but kindly advice. Also has luchadores and zombie-making flying pirahnas.
How about giving Blake’s Seven a Galactica-like makeover.
Oh please no. Unless it’s going to be a contiuation and Paul Darrow is going to play Avon. Then hell to the naw. Plus sense he dropped out of the rivival plans it might not happen.

Oh calm down Brits! It’s not like you don’t have reality shows of your own. Your Celebrity Big Brother caused an international incident! Your Hell’s Kitchen decides who is eliminated by VIEWER VOTE! Um, are you all mailed the food? Don’t be so high and mighty.
The Office US is such a different show than yours now that comparison is ridiculous. Face it, some of your humor doesn’t work here. And don’t you dare start with “make your own shows” when you watch American shows more than your own!
So, have another tea and biscuit and settle down.
