Dear Log,

«Instead of spending money to make decent drama or funny comedy for Britain, US companies would simply dump programmes produced for American audiences over here. Not all of it would be bad. The West Wing and Six Feet Under are intelligent and popular, but they are not made in Britain. It is also worth asking why television should be opened up to American ownership when British companies are forbidden from owning US broadcasters.;»

--"TV drama in the making"

US ownership of British TV companies would mean no Farscape! That would be bad.


Stupid question

Why would it mean no Farscape? I know the Australian/Nine connection, but I forget who does the other part of the production.
