Simpsons is shown on 4, does that make it british?
Hmm, yeah, but what's your point? Many Scottish people were killed for the right for Scotland to be independant, it might have failed, but whatever. You don't see me going on a rampage everytime someone calls me English.

You misunderstand me. The Simpsons were probably first shown on an American channel here, before it went to Channel 4. You'd have a point, if Father Ted was shown on an Ireland-only TV channel. And yes, BBC1/2 might have different area TV, but it's still British TV.
