And they have all the other 'alien' channels, lots in Spanish, Hindu, Arabic etc
Why not in English?

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 ???

Re: Benny Hill on BBC America
The strange thing is, all the Americans I know who can get BBCA think it's pretty crap these days too. Most of their comedies are shows that have been playing on PBS since the 70s, and any new shows just get run into the ground. The fact that the channel still refuses to show Only Fools & Horses was enough for me to get rid of it.

Re: Benny Hill on BBC America
Anyone else use UKNOVA to download TV from the UK?
I've been watching Have I got News for You the past few nights - great programme!
Anyone else see the "final" Angus show when he was basically ripped to pieces for the "prostitute" affair?

I've got a HIGNFY episode to watch tonight hosted by Nicholas Parsons! Ye Gods! Come back Angus, all is forgiven. Mind you the one hosted by Jeremy Clarkson was the best so far - even the Beeb "bleeped" out some of this!

But for tv shows, check out: http://www.btefnet.net/
Because there isn't any ratio or sign ups...
