I intend to write to the big wigs at BBC America, and ask them if they will look into possibly showing that other top comedian from the British Isles.... what's his name ??? Aurthur Askey I think ???

I get the original humour That's all I'm asking for. The other channels would be very welcome too, but let's not be greedy.
Surely this would be more cost-effective than re-packaging all that cr4p they show on BBCA?
Oh, I guess I'm being simplistic - but that's me

Therefore their broadcasting is based on what the "broader US market" supposedly wants to watch.They could always try to market one of the existing channels as a premium channel as is done with the movie and sports channels. I'd gladly pay the full television licence fee per year just to have *one* channel.
