Coming to Netflix, maybe?
I’d really like to see this, but we don’t get BBC here. God knows we’d rather have that than many of the insane offerings on our DIRECTV lineup.
Our Public (Educational) TV stations individually decide which programs to buy, often from the BBC. So perhaps in the future we in the US can see this mirror held up to our own right wing hatred.
“Make America White Again” is a rich concept, given that the European “founders” took the country away from indigenous people and built the country on the backs of African American dragged here in chains.

If you use a VPN on your laptop and sign up with BBC iPlayer you can watch it!
We don’t use a vpn. But eventually will be able to see it, I hope.
This true and tragic story is quite remarkable, superbly acted and incredibly sinister. In a small town, Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire where this is the last thing one would expect to happen.
Watching this BBC series on AppleTV+ and thinking about you Brits, wondering how you’d feel about the silly send-up of a losing British soccer team and its clueless American coach -
I've watched one series of it, thought it to be ok-ish
I can see the comedy value of an American football coach getting sent to manage a "soccer" team in England, oh they start the winning fairy tale etc....
Trump is getting ideas….
Well on a brighter note, that guy will be Captain of the prison high jump team.

I really tried with Ted Lasso but didn't even titter. Shame really.
It’s a silly comedy and not really my style of humor, but the initially unlikable characters who turned out to be very decent people reminded me of a real life lesson.
I’ll have to admit that I enjoyed watching some smug Brits gloating about their superiority over the hayseed, platitude-spouting yank.
Had to get around 4am this morning to comfort Grey the greyhound as the noises from the thunderstorms were upsetting him. After making myself a cup of char I switched on the telly for the BBC news. Then watched a short documentary film about the shepherdesses of Wakhi in the Karakoram of Pakistan. Superb little film with magnificent scenery and some remarkable ladies, the oldest of which is 88 years old.
I want to come back and watch this when I have more time. Thanks, UK Man . And please thank Grey for me!
This fascinating story on BBC prompted me to sign up to BBC Sounds, which I’d never heard of. I love Lucy Worsley, despite her accent (which to my US ear sounds like either baby-talk or a speech defect).
Oh how I wish we could see Quartet and other excellent BBC shows! We get only BBC World News, but it more or less follows the CNN Int’l model: repetitious news programs, day and night.
