There's a principle here in my view; because of the vast amounts of money sky has, they can take just about any show they want, when smaller channels have taken the risk with the initial commisioning. Sky should be ashamed of themselves for such tactics IMHO.

And well done to them and if any other channel tried to pinch a show sky took the risk on, i'd be just as critical of that channel. Not going to happen in reality, but the principle is there.

Agains sky's masses of money. Surely, you are joking!? Nicking is the right word in my view.
Sky have always poached good shows from terrestrial TV if they are a success.

The problem is all these studios or production company's are interested in is making as much money as possible from their investment and will obviously take the big offers that Sky is able to make.
The only way TV company's in this country can get around this is to produce their own quality content and sell it to the US. Which we should all be in favour of.
