It really is not that good. It’s very clumsy. I’m a little embarrassed by it.

@Adam Towers If you want to spot the changes between the 2 versions that would be the best way to do it regardless of airing dates.

At least its only 6 days. When we weren’t given a date at all and the US was I thought it was going to be like a lot of US stuff, or where it is translated from Japanese and reworked in the US, where often we are about 6 months or a whole series behind. With stuff like that we’re lucky when we’re only 10 episodes behind. 6 days isn’t too bad. Its clearly not a purely British show any more (we had been told that anyway) but how much it is British and how much the Americans have taken over what was a British show we’ll have to wait and see. A good result would be if it looks a fair mix with the Britishness not pushed out to the sidelines like some token gesture.

I appreciate what she’s said, despite my own views on what has happened with scheduling, which I made clear on the airdate confirmation post on here. I think she understands fans’ views on, not so much the amount of time between the airdates, but the principle of Britain seeing it last.

So yeah, personally, I appreciate what she’s said, that she understands the fans and I’ll be watching when we do see it eventually.

Meh, I’ll watch the U.K version on air date but I’ll still be “acquiring” the U.S versions on the night they’re aired over the pond.

It is going to be worth the wait

It’s only a week. That’s nowhere near as bad as the months-long wait that Canadians and Americans had to endure in the past. And it’s nothing new, either – the UK never saw The Prisoner remake, a British production, until months after the US aired it, too.
