But...<BR/><BR/>Technically, I don't just write about English TV but British/UK TV (the US/American/USA thing I leave to others, assuming there are equally pedantic people out there on that score and there's anything to nitpick).<BR/><BR/>What's the difference? England is the nation of England. (Great) Britain is the nations of England, Wales and Scotland; the UK is Britain and Northern Ireland (I won't start on where the Isle of Man, et al fit into this or else it'll get even more complicated). And they all produce their own television shows.<BR/><BR/>Why should you care? Well, apart from describing someone who's Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish as "English" being the number one way to start a fight with them (seriously), Doctor Who is: made by BBC Wales; has a Welsh exec producer/head writer; has a Welsh script editor; has a mainly Welsh production crew; is filmed predominantly in Wales; and has a Scottish actor as its main lead. So it's pretty much as British but non-English as they come. Not up there with S4C - the Welsh language channel - but pretty Welsh and proud of it, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Plus my wife is Welsh and we don't want to annoy her. Those Welshies can be fiery...Rob Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161472800655115351noreply@blogger.com
