I can actually see where OP is coming from. The UKTV mess was likely from an American perspective (afterall, all the replacement content minus The Weakest Link is from the other side of the Atlantic - who the $!@% wants to watch repeats of 'Allo 'Allo?). I think with globalisation comes a loss of culture, accents and phrases are merging... if you look at some young people today they're gaining language from places they've never seen the skies over.

British TV will always have it's place - the Yanks lap it up and it is undeniably a part of our history.

But, we need to be responsible for preserving our identity in the media and in the real world as otherwise it will be cast aside.
