Ladies and Gentlemen (and I mean that literally), start
your Squee-ing.
Those landed members of the aristocracy living in the
Greater Washington DC area can soon rejoice: local broadcaster WETA Television
announced today their new television station WETA
UK will start broadcasting on June 2. The station will air “British
television programming at its best”, including cable productions and shows from
the BBC.
Programming highlights on the station’s website include a
wide variety of British television shows, straight to your American non-BBC
America-having television seven days a week. Selections run the gamut,
including classics like Monarch of the
Glen, Robin Hood, and “vintage” Doctor Who, as well as modern comedies Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served? and Fawlty Towers. And yes, even the
original Antiques Roadshow will be
there. Get ready for lots of stuffy British folk being upset that grandmum’s
tea cozy does not, in fact, date back to Queen Anne.
“At auction, I’d expect to bash you about the head with
this if you don’t shut up about how Gram kept her house.”
DC area folk can catch WETA UK at channel 265 on Comcast,
800 on Cox, 474 on Verizon FiOS, 39 on RCN and via antenna at 26.2.
