As an American there is a lot of British TV that I have missed out on. Today I am very interested in learning about 10 tv shows that all Brits know. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Dad's Army might sound like a crazy premise, but the home guard were real, and they were mostly old people armed with shovels and homemade bayonets.
For the first year, they didn't have many weapons when they were just tasked as observers. But from 1940 onwards they were properly armed.
Not as crazy as the premise of Allo Allo, a comedy in Nazi occupied Europe, featuring the Gestapo..
My grandfather was an air raid warden during the war. We still have the handbell he used to tell people a light was showing through their blackout curtains The Blackout was strictly enforced to prevent enemy aircraft dropping bombs in built up areas.
My mother, as a 17 year old messenger for the Homeguard, stopped cycling and watched wave after wave over German bombers fly overhead, en route to bomb the vast shipbuilding yards of Clydeside in Scotland. The damage was so bad that it was not reported in the news papers or on the radio , in case it destroyed the morale of the general public.
Tyler seems to forget all the British history he has "learned". Why wouldn't the home guard be prepared to fight as the last line of defense against Nazis? It wasn't a joke at the time, even though this show was comedic. Why wouldn't there be a theme song with Hitler's name in it when the show is set in that time period? His ignorance is annoyjng, bordering on offensive at times. 🤨
@@nolasyeila6261 I disagree.
When you get a video of things that happened decades ago, hosted by someone who wasn't even born then, you won't get a true idea of how well loved they were.
I have to agree, she seemed a bit hun with her descriptions, she really didn't seem like she knew much about most of them... she made me laughed 😹 when she said University challenge was the best show on TV, i never watched it myself but i loved watching snooker, dads army and so many other oldies. More a fan of comedy than trivia, though Time team was interesting and entertaining 🐱🐈👍
Re Coronation Street, one thing I'm surprised she didn't mention is the fact that there is an actor (William Roache) in it who's been in it since 1960 and has been playing the same character (Ken Barlow) since the very first episode and at the age of 92, he's still in it full time!
He's definitely a "staple" on the show.
I’m 67 and I watched Blue Peter all through my childhood ,Monday and Thursday
I have a blue Peter badge!
America tried to make a version of Dads Army. It was absolute rubbish.
@@rayraamsalu6092 😆 I wish I was surprised!
I'm a bit younger than you. I watched it all the time. Mine was Leslie judd with her sticky back plastic, and the elephant pulling the zoo keeper through shit.
@@helenag.9386l won one too. But l lost it years ago😭😂
17:38 it isn’t a competition exactly, it's an actual dig with real archaeologists. They just have to do the thing in three days and hopefully find something.
Think she didn't explain it correctly. Plus Britain and Europe have history in the ground to explore
Time Team has made a new home here on RUclips with new digs paid for by patreon subscriptions.
There was an American version of Time Team aired in the USA called Time Team America.
I don't think this lassie has ever seen Springwatch. It's a live nature program. Cameras in nestboxes, badger sets, exctra. You have a section of the UK public rooting for the runt in a nest, or a sickleback fish searching for a mate. a blue tit raising a cole tit clutch after the parent birds seemingly died. Great stuff. I have fond memories of dozing off to badger snores.
ETCETERA! 🤦
@steddie4514 I knew I'd spelt it wrong. I also was blanking on "etc", so... whatever.
And then there’s the stags rutting in Autumnwatch
Dad’s Army was an affectionate name for the Home Guard, a group of people who didn’t go to war because they were too old, too young or - as you Americans say - 4F.
Usually those who fought in WW1
The first programme was broadcast on 16 October 1958. It is the longest-running children's television programme in the world, and also one of the longest-running television programmes in the world.
Up there with the Archers for longevity...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Archers
@@NiallBradley-pg6ge the thing that annoys me about The Archers is you never hear please or thank you and, most particularly, none of the children are ever prompted to. Not very British at all. I stopped listening because of that.
@@FC-PeakVersatilitythe thing that annoys me about please or thank you is that we all experienced getting told to say them by the hurtful grumpy authoritarian old who believed in being nasty to kids. That makes it evil to want them said, and part of standing up for liberty and progress not to say them.
@@conscienceaginBlackadder well I wouldn't call my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles hurtful, grumpy, authoritarian or, at that time, old 🤔 I do recall being aware of at least one spoilt brat (her dad was disabled) who wouldn't have dreamt of being polite (what she grew into I haven't a clue as they moved away). But even the thugs I rubbed shoulders with at school had manners in general population. They cost absolutely nothing but can make a world of difference.
A magazine show is as random as a magazine,just random stuff.
Tyler, Time Team are now on RUclips. You will find lots of their videos on this platform. For anyone interested in history and archaeology sites it is interesting.
Each episode they will be at a different site. They have three days to excavate it and find out what ever they can whether it's finding old Roman mosaic floors under a farmer's field or finding an old Saxon cemetery.
If the old buildings you can see today in the UK blow your mind then the things they find just under the soil is crazy.
I remember it blew the mind of my friend from the US when I told him that where I live in rural Lincolnshire you can often find things like old roman coins, pottery and tessera (small piece of a mosaic floor) just lying in the freshly ploughed soil of the local fields.
It's a shame Tyler doesn't read the comments he invites us all to make. I too think he'd enjoy watching Time-Team or Mudlarkers...and have suggested them. But unless he comes across either of them by accident on RUclips I guess he'll never get to watch two of the most "British" shows on tv. Such a pity as they would tell him more about the UK than he could ever dream of. Sigh.
I don't think the USA have very many Roman sights for them to dig up do they. Wonderful show by the way.
I used to love watching Time Team, don’t think they make it anymore 🥲
There was an American version of Time Team aired in the USA called Time Team America.
Dads army tyler, was born from world war two, people were drafted into the army up till the age of 41, the older generation, 41 plus, were called the home guard, still part of the army, some may have served in world war 1, and some who were not drafted, maybe medical, but qualified for home guard
Great show, for its time,
Don't forget: Private Pike was actually based on Jimmy Perry (one of the writers) who joined the Local Defence Volunteers as a 16-year-old...
They've shown repeats of Dad's Army on bbc2 at the same time as Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 and Dads Army got more views.
Dad's army is my go to show to be cheered up even now, no matter how many times I hear " don't tell him Pike" it always brings a smile
University Challenge questions are definitely not trivia. I’m proud of myself if I can answer 5 questions from the whole programme!
😂lkr
I loved blockbusters. Can l have a p please bob😂
Time team is a serious show.. its not a competition show.. its one main presenter going around talking the archaeologists digging up history.. its a really good programme & very interesting
Coronation street contains the actor William Roach. He was in the 1st episode and he is still in it today making him the world's longest servicing actor portraying the same character. It's set in Manchester and you can tour the set at media city which is opposite Manchester United's football stadium.
And his son was in Law and Order as an American lawyer!
Coronation Street is the longest running TV soap, but The Archers is the world longest running soap having started in 1951
Never heard of the Archers!
@@jettser17UKIt's a radio soap rather than a TV soap.
@@jettser17UK you live in the UK and have never heard of the Archers??
@jettserUK17 You will know the music, Barwick Green
Just waiting for George Grundy to be sent to the slammer
Coronation Street started in 1960 and is still going. Blue Peter started in 1958, still going.
5:52 Not exactly. The Home Guard was a real thing from WW2 - a civil defence service comprised of older men who couldn’t serve in the actual military. The TV series was a comedy fictional version produced in the 1960s when most adults remembered the war personally.
University challenge is far more difficult than a trivia show, if you understand the question you feel you’ve achieved something, and time team wouldn’t succeed in the US simply because you have no archeology.
Well said. ♥
The most intelligent quiz show on US TV is Jeopardy. The contestants on UC are chosen for their knowledge and intelligence. On Jeopardy, for their stage presence, and probably how straight and white their teeth are!
Of COURSE US has archaeology - it just isn't all about kings and castles.
@@TheRealRedAce *Nobody's* archaeology is exclusively about monarchs and castles! So what's US archaeology about?
@@lesleyvivien2876 You clearly don't know England, where both history and archaeology, as taught in schools or popularly discussed, are both exclusively about monarchs and castles.
What is US archaeology about? Are you asking what the word "archaeology" means? If not and you know what the word means, then that is what its about.
Coronation street is also shown in Australian, Canadian and New Zealand TV.
What did they do to deserve that? I suppose it's UK revenge for "Neighbours".
At least three other legendary British shows come to mind:
* Dr. Who, a science fiction series that started in the fifties or sixties.
* Allo, allo!, a comedy series set in a tiny village in France during WWII
* Are you being served?, a comedy series set in a London department store.
I watch lots of tv shows , and as a kid and adult prefer the old ones

And I'm only 29 but I prefer these to most new ones on tv
Yeah I like some of those shows you mentioned . And it's true a lot of people certain age range will prefer older shows to newer ones.
You missed The Good Life 😏
Dads Army was written by a man (Jimmy Perry) who was in the Home Guard during the 2nd WW. One of the characters (Private Pike) was based on himself!
Timewatch is my favourite. It's moved over to the internet only now ...but we still love it 😂
Was one of the late Queen Mothers favourite programmes as well.
I remember watching the first episode as a child.
Timewatch? Is that a conglomeration between Time Team and Spring Watch that I’ve missed? 😂
Hahaha yeah a slip of the mind 🤣 it should be Timeteam!!
University challange is far too high brow for a US audience. The average viewer celibrates for a week if they know a single answer from an episode. Also there is very dry humour associated with it from the host. Both of these things would turn the average US viewer off.
There have been a few students from the USA who have been very successful in UC, though.
@@leohickey4953 Yeah, there most certainly has.
Err University Challenge is based on a US show called College Bowl.
@@pureholy Wasn't that a radio show?
Edit: So I just checked. The concept is loosely based on that radio show (although the only thing they really shared in common was it's a student quiz) Then after University challenge aired on UK TV in 1962 the US then tried to base their own version as a US TV show on the UK version and it didn't last long and there have been several attempts since but all failed in the ratings and were axed. Which essentially backs up what I originally said. It's just too high brow for US audience. Compared to a show that has been on UK TV from 1962 until today and onwards.
Bamber Gascoigne and Jeremy Paxman had the dry humour off perfectly. Clive Myrie is pleasant enough, but I'm not sure he's at the same wit level as his predecessors.
Me, I'm happy if I understand the questions!
EDIT Clive Myrie and Amol Rajan are not the same person! 😊
Some of her descriptions don't do the shows' justice. You should check some out. Time team turn up at an un-excavated site (used to be people's back gardens). They dig experimental trenches, geo-survey the land with their tech and research archives, over three days. Then share their findings with the locals. And it being Britain, which period of history will their finds date back to?
Yes Tyler and it is edited - not in real time :-) :-) :-)
Springwatch is not hosted by just outdoor types, but by zoologists, ornithologists, botanists etc... It is about looking about the emerging life, flora and fauna. I should say that snooker is a televised sport as opposed to a programme; it's like saying that the Olympics is a ok g running TV show. BTW a magazine show is one that touches on any and all subjects (check out John Noakes and Nelson's Column - very old - in black & white for Blue Peter).
Oh wow what a serious injustice to the spring/autumn/winter watches.
It's about our wildlife & what's happening that season.
Dad's Army's theme was part of the joke. It was a comedy, after all. One about a serious historical topic that did its best to not mock those events but rather to highlight the insanity of war where old men are called up to defend their homes, and how even during war time petty village politics is ever present. Its well worth a watch, as it gives an insight into how British culture was during the 1940's and is still quite funny despite being nearly 60 years old. And yes, its still on television from time to time. And yes, many people still watch it every time its on. Very much peak easy viewing.
The core joke is how unprepared for action these men are, being elderly or inexperienced or just plain disinterested, as well as the Captain being the local bank manager who just barged into the position and everyone else was too polite to disagree.
The Americans tried to make their own version (called The Rear Guard) but it didn't have the same impact - mostly due to being ahistorical since America was never under direct threat and had a huge reserve of young men to call into service. It also lacked the core British tropes such as class, European rivalries and quant little countryside villages.
It was the one show my dad would crack his sides to, with laughter, every time it was on.
Interesting that the term 'magazine style programme' isn't used muvch in the US. It's a programme like a magazine, wth lots of 'articles' (segments) on different unrelated topics - some of which might have been in the news, but others are more 'human interest' or spotlighting particular interests. We've had a lot of these over the years both for kids and adults. And yes, Blue Peter still airs on the BBC's children's channel once a week. In it's heyday it was appointment viewing twice a week in the late afternoon/ early evening. One of the things kids wanted to be when they grew up was a Blue Peter presenter- they had so much fun and did such awesome things!
Dad's Army is based on a real situation during the second world war. Men who were either too old, too young, or in 'Reserved Occupations' (jobs necessary to the war effort- like doctors, or farmers) to be called up to the regular military,often joined The Home Guard whose job it was to be the last line of defence should the Germans ever invade. My father was in the Home Guard for a couple of years before he turned 18 and was called up into the full time Army. He was basically Pike!
No- Top of the Pops was not a 'Lip Synching' show. For technical reasons the actual artists had to pre-record their own current chart topping single, and then mime to it during the recording of the show. It was the only way to get to see all the top bands and artists on TV prior to MTV, and was appointment viewing for anyone under 30 on a Thursday night.
Time team is NOT a competition! Where did Tyler get that from? It;'s 'serious' archeology, packaged for Sunday night entertainment. I bet Siobhan is not the only person out there who studied archeology at least partly as a result of this show.
I did an evening course in archaeology because of Time Team, which led to my spending time each summer digging for over a decade.
You should definitely do a whole episode dedicated to the great British bake off there are so many funny moments across the whole series, probably one of the most quintessentially British series
I love dad's army, especially considering people could be drafted up to 41 years of age. Funnily enough it was also quite popular in Germany (at least with the Germans I know) 😂
I hope you didn't tell them your name, Pike😂
Tyler, why are you so surprised about the knicker factory? Coronation St started off, and for many years continued to be, about everyday life on one street, so a factory wasn't out of place. Now, like the other soaps it's rubbishy and sensationalized. You've got the wrong idea about TOTP, it was a pop programme. The acts mimed to their own songs. When they tried to do it live the acts had a tendency to do naughty things😅 The audiences were legendarily awkward and self aware. Watch some RUclips clips, you' ll get the idea. Springwatch et al put cameras where you wouldn't be able to reach, inside nests, dens etc, so they are great nature programmes.
The basis of Time Team is the UK is covered with potential archaeological mysteries, at the request the a member of the public the Time Team would do a three day excavation to understand what had been going on in the area. Throughout the program Tony Robinson would be on hand to ask questions and explain what was going on in terms of that viewers could understand. Part of the fun was watching the interaction between the experts trying to understand what they are had found, especially when they did not find very much. Although they did uncover some sites of special interest, e.g. a Roman mosaic floor, crashed WW2 aircraft, etc. that were later fully excavated by specialist archaeologists.
I always called it "Digging today"

Or Black Adder, l would put with Red Dwarf.
Ummmm what about Only fools and horses????
@@kfordgal I was sticking with the theme of the video and picked the first 10 that came to mind. There are so many I can still remember watching.
Yes Minister
George and Mildred
Open All Hours
The Good Life
Rising Damp
Only When I Laugh
All Creatures Great And Small
And of course my all time favourite TV show... Danger Mouse
Other archaeology shows on British TV, such as Digging For Britain and The Great British Dig, are also really popular.
If you thought Dads Army was a daring premise then you should definitely react to Allo Allo, a totally farcical sitcom set in Nazi occupied France where every country involved are made fun of and involves unbelievable situations and ridiculous wordplay!
By the same writers.
I recommend The Great British Bake Off Stand Up to Cancer. It’s a short celebrity series to raise money for cancer research. Loads of celebrities have taken part over the years like Louis Theroux, Richard Dreyfuss, Russell Brand, Teri Hatcher & David Schwimmer. They don’t take it as seriously so they have more fun.
Fawlty towers has to be there, Two Ronnie's, only fools and horses...all absolute epics
I’m dying at the way he’s saying Snooker!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Tyler, Top of the Pops isn't what you think like the current day lipsync shows.
It was a music show with artists performing their songs but not live, they were lipsyncing their own songs.
... but some of them were singing live.
Time team is fabulous! They are a team of archaeologists and while it is not on mainstream telly these days it is crowd funded on Patreon and still does 3 day digs amongst other archaeological events that they cover.
I'm disappointed that when she talked about University Challenge, she didn't mention the first question master Bamber Gascoigne who died in 2022.
Thank you. I wondered if, maybe, she's too young to have been interested in it whilst Bamber was the question master but, to my mind, he will forever control the show.
My Grandaughter went to the tv studios a few weeks ago. She git her Blue Peter badge & she loved being on TV.
Snooker is a sport, and Brits love their sport and take it very seriously. Snooker isn't a "Show" anymore than American Football is a show, or Golf or swimming or baseball.
"the craziest premises" meanwhile its based on a real thing
She mentions Top of the Pops, but not the theme tune... Whole Lot of Love...
There were many....unfair to just name the second one...Yellow Pearl was next, The Wizard by Paul Hardcastle, Now Get Out Of That, and Red Hot Pop by Vince Clarke
No, that isn't the Dad's Army theme song...she got the words wrong!
The “dull commentary “ on Snooker was needed more before the mid 70s, because of most people watching on black and white TVs back then, very hard to watch back then without ball colour confirmation from the commentators 👍
Like "the green ball is the one behind the brown", very helpful when both appeared as grey.
@@tonys1636 Our cat liked to lie on top of the TV and tap the balls on screen 😀
@@tonys1636 😂 it was more along the lines of just telling you the colour of ball that they were aiming the cue ball at / attempting to pot etc
Commentator Ted Lowe once said, on air, 'If you're watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green.'
@@lyndakirby852 yes a classic funny line from a true legend 😊
I say to you just two words: Doctor Who. Sci-fi drama that has run on and off since 1963 with a perennially changing cast and hide-behind-the-sofa monsters.
Coronation Street and Emmerdale Farm had a battle for audience numbers they both did well and survived.
Battling who?, they're both on the same channel.
@@scottneil1187 my sentence says what they were battling for. As for who, there's two of them, do I need to explain the context?
Worth mentioning that Time Team is not a competition show. It is simply a group of Archeologists excavating a site of some significance within a three day timeframe. The original show lasted 20 season, and many specials (including a number of Live Broadcasted specials), and has returned in the past couple of years as a RUclips series.
Also, one of them wears a hat.
I support the revival of Time Team through Patreon and still enjoy watching the new episodes, but there was something special about the team dynamics of the original, the way the characters and personalities gelled. From team leader, Professor Mick Aston, Head Digger Phil Harding, Landscape surveyor Stewart Ainsworth and tech man, John Gator. It's clear that they and Tony Robinson really enjoyed each other's company, especially in the pub after a long day's digging!
Top of the Pops was hosted by Radio DJs and showed live performances by the acts that had sold the highest number of records, or increased their sales of records the most during the previous week. They 'lip synced' their performance because of the challenges of trying to record a live session in a crowded studio, with each act having to follow the next immediately. During the 70s 'videos' were also shown - especially for US acts, of course.
They didn't always lip sync, there was a period when they sang and played "live".
Also, if a band wasn't able to appear in the studio, a recording of their song would often be played and danced to by the likes of Pan's People, Legs & Co, or Ruby Flipper (depending on the time period).
Paul Weller refused to mime any of Jam, Style Council or his solo songs, when it was the guitar solo in the middle of the song, Paul would put his hands behind his back, or so I'm told
@@andybaker2456That was one of the changes Andi Peters did when he became executive producer towards the end after Chris Cowles if I remember correctly. I was in the audience in the 2000's twice, some acts did sing live I'm sure of it
@@fleason771 I'm sure there was a period (in the 70s perhaps?) when they had to sing live. To be honest, some of them sounded terrible! One such TOTP act that comes to mind was Althea and Donna singing Up Town Top Ranking...it was not their best performance!
Tyler Blue Peter from BBC is 66 Years old and is still going strong and has over 6000 episodes
My Dad was in the Home Guard. He was in a reserved occupation which meant you weren't called up.
I still have my Blue Peter competition winners badge from 1968.
And Dad's Army was my dad's (a real WWII soldier, landed at Gold Beach), favourite programme.
She missed out arguably the most famous line from Dad's Army: "Don't tell him, Pike!"
University Challenge was based on College Bowl, but seems to have lasted a little longer!
And "Welcome back, Kotter" is described as being inspired by a real school, but sounds *suspiciously* like "Please, Sir!" which was incredibly funny, occasionally gritty, and survived without laboured catchphrases.
Enjoy this list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_television_series_based_on_British_television_series
My father's cousin John R Sloan was the producer on the 1971 cinema film version of Dad's Army.
Here in Sweden we have seen almost all these TV Shows
I thoroughly recommend reacting to an episode of Time Team. I watched that show more regularly than any cartoon as a kid and meeting Phil Harding was a highlight moment of my teenage years, despite the fact hes just some cheerful Wiltshire chap. He taught me how to knap flint too!
"University Challenge" is UK version of a US show called "College Bowl"
A magazine 'anything' means it covers all. Like a magazine holds all your bullets for your gun and a paper magazine covers all topics.
The way you pronounce the great British bake off with those huge spaces grinds my gears
Thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
@@Shoomer1988😂😂😂😂
@@Shoomer1988🤣🤣🤣
Tyler always grinds my gears. But he's addictive somehow .
Is it better or worse than pronouncing it "Great British Baking Show"? (what it's aired as in the US)
This is very old because Mary berry left bake off years ago now
Coronation Street started in December 1960 & still churning out episodes. My mum been watching this show since the 1970's.
Springwatch is a nature/wildlife programme (she's mixing it up with Lambing Live which is an entirely different show...)
Dad's Army works because Jimmy Perry one of the writer’s was basically Pike until he got called up.
Snoop dog is apparently a massive fan of coronation st and wanted a cameo
When I think of Top of the Pops I think Top 40 hits from 1977 to 1989 I really miss those days of the show 78, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, being my favourite years during this period! So many good memories, one seeing Divine in a tight silver baco foil dress singing You Think You're Man from July/Aug 1984, the clip is on RUclips somewhere! Loved it!
When I was a kid in the 90s there was a prime time bbc programme about snooker with its own theme tune, something like ‘snookering you tonight’
Dad's Army was a sit com based on Britain's Home Guard during WWII. The Home Guard was made up of citizens that were ineligible to go to the front line for whatever reason, so they helped by defending Britain in addition to their day time jobs. I know Tyler won't read this, but other people might be interested without having to take 30 seconds out of their day to look it up!
Theme Tune: ruclips.net/video/bF6qElf9GJ8/видео.html
Its not just that most British people have heard of these, they are pretty much all national institutions. As much as SNL, or I Love Lucy, or Happy Days, or Sesame Street in the USA.
Hooray ..he pronounced "snooker" correctly. His brother Ryan pronounces it "snucker".
YEY!😂😂
He'll soon forget and go back to "American"😂
Magazine programme would be several topics in one show. Blue Peter, for example would have travel, handycrafts, charity appeals, seasonal specials, special guests etc.
You may have seen more "British Stuff" than you realise. A lot of UK shows have been remade in the US, like 'The Office', 'Steptoe and Son' (as 'Sanford and Son'), 'Only Fools and Horses' (as 'King of Van Nuys'), 'Ballykissangel' (as 'Hope Island) 'Birds of a Feather' (as 'Stand by Your Man') and even 'Fawlty Towers' (as 'Amanda's') and 'Dads Army' (as 'The Rear Guard') to name but a few. However, since Americanising British cultural references seldom works these remakes have usually been abysmal failures.
The Home Guard were divisions of old or injured men, mostly ex-soldiers of WW1, that worked as a civilian militia to supplement the british army at home during WW2, they're nicknamed Dad's Army because most of them had sons that were serving in the army proper, at home or overseas. The show Dad's Army is about a comically inept division of the Home Guard in a fictional british village.
I'd love to see you react to an episode of some of these. 🤩❤🔥
tyler to be honest, there are many tv shows that could be on this list, I think they tried to make the list diverse, other people will chip in with some as well, but you have top gear, one of the bisggest shows world wide, only fools and horse, a comedy show, , But, for the legend shows, you would have to start going back to the 70;s with rising damp, and moving forward, till death us do part, and so on.
Yes she should have mentioned Antiques Roadshow they have that in America too.
"What is a magazine show?"...
Tyler old pal... Google is your friend... Try it sometime...
You might enjoy this YT clip - '1977: JOHN NOAKES scaling Nelson's Column is TERRIFYING | Blue Peter | Classic clips | BBC Archive'
He has never read his comments.
more well known shows than these are, (of course Dads Army) but also Black Adder (all the different series), Carry On (all the different series) Mr Bean, Bottom, Harry Enfield, Only Fools And Horses, Doctor Who, One Foot Into The Grave.
Some of these in this video aren't shows but sports or music channels.
I hope this helps a little and you try watch at least Bottom, it's my favourite :)
You to have confused "Top of the Pops" with "Lip Sync Battle". 😂
Blue Peter was first aired on 16 October 1958. It still runs today it coined the fraise “hears one i made earlier” which caught on in many programs lectures in university colleges around the world…..
The presenter of Anglophinia must never have seen the programmes she commented on because her descriptions are very wide of the mark
To be honest. I think her videos are rubbish. There are so many more much better,informative ones.
Time team is not a competition
PBS needs to show Dads Army! 😂😂
Coronation Street is a soap opera set in a northern town in England and has been running since 1960. As What'shername said. What more do you need to know?
For context on Blue Peter's age, I inherited one of the badges from my mother this year when she passed away
Magazine style - short stories (articles) covering a plethora of subjects
'The Archers' is an even longer running RADIO show.
14:52 songs on TOTP were performed by the actual recording artist, not random celebs. Or they'd show the video if the artist wasn't available (Madonna or Michael Jackson wouldn't just turn up out of the blue, but the likes of Rick Astley, Oasis or Take That would make time for it). Cannot rule out miming in some cases though.😂
They pretty much always mimed and they didn't always show a video if the artist wasn't available, they used to have dancers that would appear called Pans People.
Top of the pops took the viewer through the list of top 20 hits of that week, where possible with the original artistes performing (miming) to the record, sometimes videos would be shown, and some items were played on record while a dance troupe performed.
Dads Army im sure was shown in the US, they did attempt to make a US version called The Rear Guard but never made it past a pilot episode.
Great British Bake Off is definitely shown on US TV under the name The Great British Baking Show and is now available on Netflix in the US, there is also a US version called the Great American Baking Show.
Coronation Street - I believe is available in the US via subscription services like Britbox and Amazon Prime Video
Try watching university challenge and then tell me it would work in America, its not just a quiz show with students, its questions are based on university subjects too, and its super niche expert knowledge questions.
The average person would get maybe 5 questions right per show.
It started in America as College Bowl; we adapted it.
@@frankhooper7871 lmao, ok dude
Before Tyler was born, the American version of University Challenge was called College Bowl.
And NBC relaunched it 2-3 years ago, but apparently the version fell flat, because it's not on anymore. (The questions were far too easy)
I was in the audience for Top of the Pops when Blue were there, it was fun but chaotic and such a small space 😅
She is been unfair about a lot of the programmes, dare I say snobby? Richard and Judy was a magazine show, sometimes had very adult content, when viagra first appeared on the market they had a couple on discussing their sex life or not because of husbands condition, he was given a pill and they whisked them off to a hotel room,and interviewed the happy couple later!
University Challenge was based on the American TV show with the same format "College Bowl". I don't know when College Bowl ceased being broadcast in America - it might have finished many years ago and so Tyler might be unaware of it.
My late grandfather played a lot of snooker, he could have gone professional if he wanted to but it would have meant uprooting his and my grandma's lives and moving to Sheffield. He had shelves on shelves full of trophies, at one point he beat the celebrated former UK champion John Virgo, who now commentates snooker for the BBC, he beat John Virgo in the match that would have allowed him to go professional, delaying his professional status, to which he held a grudge against my grandfather for a long time.
You should watch Dad's Army! It's absolute Comedy Classic!
Army Dads.😂 Has to be said, that made me laugh more than the show ever did. Classic.
I'm from Canada and I heard of most of these shows and I have seen a lot of them either on Canadian TV or on RUclips. Coronation Street is still playing on channel 6 I think, I've never watched it I hate soap operas but I know the theme music it's very iconic. On the other hand I love Time Team. Many British sitcoms have played on PBS in the States and Canada including Dad's Army, Are you being served, To the Manor Born and many others.
University Challenge was originally hosted by the superbly-named Bamber Gascoigne. Watching very clever people showing off has a certain magnetism...
