It depends on licensing agreements and who produces the shows

The shows I've recommended you can buy the Blu-rays & DVDs on Amazon

Dead Set, Utopia & Black Mirror



You're welcome
Yes, ITV, Channel 4, BBC, Granada have all licensed their content, like American companies do, to streaming channels. That is primarily ow we are seeing them. We are also registered as legal users at BBC, ITV and others. We did so during World Cup.

I am also grateful we can see English films which rank among my favorites. Just watched "The Outsider" with Craig Wasson last night. Also a fan of Sherlock, Stephen Tompkinson, "The Mongrels" (Muppet style) series along with "The Thick Of It" are some of the funniest and best programs I have seen in a long time. Wife and I love the political and spy thrillers like "House of Cards" and the rest. "Inspector Lewis" Endeavour and George Gently series are also great.

We come in via VPN which is helpful. Plan on trying Utopia tonight. Have access to 1 season.

The series title, 8 out of 10 cats just kills me. I read the preview and plan to try it though I am not that up to date on UK life though trying to be more and more. Just tired of US news.

Thanks for tips and suggestions to programming from the UK. Wish I could see more English football. Cheers!
