Though I don’t watch a great deal of television – preferring the radio – there are a few programmes from Britain that I would watch given the chance. Living in Turkey that chance doesn’t present itself too often.

Though most American shows can be caught after a few days on internet sites such as Sidereel British shows are harder or impossible to find. The BBC is present in Turkey through its BBC Entertainment service on DigiTurk which is fine if you like to watch average comedies from a couple of years ago or EastEnders a few weeks behind its airing in the UK.
