It fills me with joy then, that my licence fee here in the UK helps to provide you with 'quality' programmes c/o the BBC, in the States.
According to the credits on some programs many are joint ventures , which I suppose means we supply the financing and you supply the talent ,
I'm sure the stations pay for any programs they obtain from the BBC they do not get them for free ,thats why they have pledge drives to pay for them , plus there is a bit of a time lag , e.g. on Eastenders , we are up to the incest thing with the cab drivers family , they are also re-running the 1st series of Last of the Summer Wine
