I've never heard of The Bill, but Eastenders used to be carried on public television stations regularly a number of years back and I did indeed watch it back then. Those same public stations also carried a variety of other British imports which I've watched religiously during the course of my life, amongst which were the likes of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, Black Adder, Benny Hill, Are You Being Served, Thin Blue Line, Keeping Up Appearances, Red Dwarf, Dr. Who, Blakes 7, and many more. Those shows all account for a huge part of my childhood & adolescence, and I love 'em all. Hell, I didn't even miss an episode of Teletubbies!

LOL Elz, you're certainly not alone as that seems to be a pretty popular feeling shared by most of the people I talk to. hehe Yes I admit it, I do like Teletubbies very much. I remember just before it first came to American television back in 1998 I had heard all sorts of weird rumors about it, so the intrigue got the better of me and I waited impatiently for that 1st episode to air. That one episode was all it took to get me hooked. Generally speaking I enjoy most educational children's television programming anyway, but there was something special about this one; a certain surreal & ambiguous quality that really spoke to me on some deeper level. The show was almost Orwellian in some regards, which I found fascinating considering that it's a program aimed at the youngest & most impressionable audience. Oh well, I guess I'll just enjoy the show and leave the rest for the psychologists to sort out. hehe
