Cool Britannia
One of the things I promised to do at CONvergence was to put together a list of the various DVDs that we recommended at the panel. It took a while to get around to it, but here we go...
There are some shows that aren't available yet in Region 1 -- some may never be, but others may. We talked about Terry Nation's Survivors, which is getting remade by the BBC. And then there is also Life on Mars, which is getting remade for the American audience by ABC -- and probably delaying the region 1 release of the UK version. Primeval is starting soon on BBC America.
I probably forgot some that we mentioned as well.

Spaced on Region 1 DVD! I hope!
One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Spaced, a TV show by the people that later produced Hott Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. I'm glad to hear reports that this excellent series may be finally get a Region 1 release. It's awesome, and I think it should have a greater exposure in the US.

The British Transfer
I was very wrong about how well the American version of The Office would do. But this article does a good job of listing the shows that are making the translation now.
