UK shows but only on DVD in the US

Posted on December 6, 2005 | Post a comment |

There are a load of shows that those of us of a certain age and a certain degree of taste remember well. These include The Sandbaggers and Codename: Icarus. Yet for some reason, the powers that be choose only to release them in the US, not in the UK. Even stranger, these are UK shows getting this treatment, not US networks ignoring the rest of the world. What gives? Why are we not allowed access to our own TV heritage?
