"As if!" - Cher Horowitz


The celebrated home of Hollywood

Has yet to reach that famed division

And surpass its greater, never quite could

That is, to say, British television.

 

The Great British Baking Show, Dr. Who

Jeeves & Wooster, claymations, BBC

Great Britain’s Got Talent (and Hugh Grant too)

Jane Austen ad’ptations and “Willoughby!”

 

A skydiving queen and Kate Middleton

Sherlock and Shakespeare and Downton Abbey

Wallace & Gromit and Tom Hiddleston

Winslet and Cumberbatch aren’t too shabby.

 

Perhaps tax without representation

Led to lesser TV in our nation.
