One of the reasons that, when my wife and I watch television, we usually watch our local PBS affiliate. They play lots of stuff from British television on things like "Masterpiece Theatre" (now, "Masterpiece Classic" with things like the complete works of Jane Austen, Dickens' dramatizations, etc.; "Masterpiece Mystery" with "Inspector Lynley" and such; and "Masterpiece Contemporary"), not to mention some good, intelligent and funny comedies ("As Time Goes By" with Judi Dench and Geoffery Palmer and "The Good Life" with Richard Briers and Felicity Kendall [voted as having the nicest butt in British telly]. They also run "Nova," other science programs, "Frontline"--generally television aimed at people who have considerably more brains that the average stalk of celery.
