Just switch to watching PBS. It seems their programmers feel that,
without the huge amount of BBC content in their lineup, America's
culture station would have little to show. And, after all, nothing
expresses Britain's last thousand years of accomplishment more than long
documentaries about Diana and endless re-runs of Keeping Up
Appearances... :^)
Seriously though, PBS does present a very decent selection of sitcoms,
news and documentaries from Britain.

It is now on BBC America. I saw it over the weekend, but I think it is
repeated ad nauseam as most of BBC America's shows are. You could check
their website for the schedule: www.bbcamerica.com
I must say, as an English ex-pat I am very disappointed with most of the
programming on BBC America. Apart from a few good crime/mystery shows,
Top
Gear, and the original Office, much of it is reruns of reality crap and
Benny Hill (which was never even a BBC production!). Why do I want to
watch
two daft old crones cleaning somebody else's house?
