Give Me a British TV Classic Any Day

Could the Americans have done it any better?


In the UK we have a habit of knocking everything. We moan about the weather. Complain that the country’s going downhill. Talk about emigrating to warmer safer climes.

Me, I don’t get it. I love the weather. It’s got character and I hate the heat. Living in Scotland I also think I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

But the one thing we shouldn’t knock is the great British TV show. We have so many stand out shows that are uniquely British.

Sherlock. Doctor Who. The Office. Could the Americans, even with their big budgets do those shows justice? I don't think so.

That’s why I decided to write a piece on 8 classic British shows America couldn't do
for Shadowlocked.com


Why not have a wee read and see if you can you think of any more?

Can The Office survive without Steve Carell?



I hope the show can survive without Steve Carell, but its doubtful.

To my mind, Will Ferrell, has been a disappintment and the last episode (the first without Carell was truly awful). In fact, I cheered when DeAngelo Vickers hurt himself. 



Here's what some of the critics thought of Ferrell's first outing in The Office - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/will-ferrell-office-what-critics-178751

I thought it was a fitting end to Michael Scott's time at in The Office, but could they have ended it some other way?

I think so.

Check out my piece at Shadowlocked.com for some ideas - http://www.shadowlocked.com/201105081800/lists/4-ways-steve-carells-time-on-the-office-could-have-ended.html 

What do you think? How would you have ended Michael Scotts' time on the show?

Should he be with Holly or Dwight? Well, the man love has always been there.



Could Jan have come back on the scene, baby in tow, saying its Michael's?
