What's a British TV show that the Yanks did better? (feddit.uk)

I'll go first....The Office.

Now I know the two shows are fundamentally quite different, but they adapted what was already a very successful show, and turned It into an event more successfully one that lasted for significantly longer than the original did. I say that's a win for them.

Anything else? Life on Mars, Being Human, The Inbetweeners.....?

But no one can come close to the Great British Baking Show.

I prefer the Canadian. In terms of “feel good” show, the Canadian goes further.
