PBS, back in the 70s and 80s used to broadcast so much British stuff. Not just Doctor Who, but Monty Python, The Two Ronnies, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served and so much more if I were to dig into my memory to find it. I still have the Tom Baker Doctor Who scarf my mom knit for me back around 1980ish. My kids love the new Who, but I’ve not been successful in getting them to watch any of the classic era stuff.
Fun fact: my older brothers and a friend of theirs made a transcription of the theme for four-handed piano and were selling the sheet music at cons until they got a cease and desist letter from the BBC.
My local PBS did a BBC block on Saturday evenings, but on Friday night they did Red Dwarf on its own. The Saturday block was where I was introduced to Rowan Atkinson with Black Adder. I still quote "I have a cunning plan".
