As for British TV programming, I have noted elsewhere that I use a fair amount of Britspeak, which I picked up partly from watching British telly and partly from the Gilbert & Sullivan canon. My favorite British TV programs, in chronological order, are Monty Python's Flying Circus, Red Dwarf, and Coupling. The first two I used to watch on the local PBS station. Wifey and I first encountered Coupling in New Zealand during our honeymoon, and we immediately fell in love with it. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it's basically Friends with better writing and a primary emphasis on sex.
