We've had American TV shows in Britain for years and that hasn't affected our culture at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.
The biggest difference between British TV and American TV is money. But what money doesn't do on American TV, which I thought it would, is buy you time. You don't get more time. You get more toys.
We have to take risks in British television. It has to stop playing to the lowest common denominator and patronising people.
I don't enjoy British shows as a rule because British audiences are strange.
British audiences tend to want to see their own lives reflected on TV, whereas American audiences are quite aspirational and enjoy high-concept shows that show them lives that are perhaps slightly more exciting than they aspire to.
And I grew up watching all the British ones so when you hear that from an early age, it makes it much easier than you guys who don't grow up with Australian television or British television.
American television tends to move faster than European or U.K. television.
There's definitely a wave of Brits doing great work on American television, and I wouldn't mind being one of them!
There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn't even notice, that the British wouldn't even notice, let alone the American audience.
In Britain you're more used to challenging drama. In America, TV is just boring, and numbing, and bloody terrible.
