I would like to point out that most british shows that make their way over here(as in the original and not our own version of yours) suck. Not because I don't like the humor or anything like that but for 2 reasons.

1) HORRIBLE cinemtography
2) Terrible directing

That is what I have gathered from watching most foriegn stuff in general though. I am convinced that England has a problem with lights though. That could really help their situation.

Faulty Towers rocks though.
