Glad to learn of this news. The BBC series and the radio drama are good enough.

An American-made version of British stuff never works. :-)

All in the Family
Sanford and Son
The Office
As I said ... NEVER works! :-p
The UK version of "The Office" was inane garbage and the US version was

I tend to agree, but...

... I haven't seen the original 'Shameless'. How does it compare to the American version?

Both are also inane drivel. We watched about two minutes (at most) of
