British/Australian TV

Feature Writer: Steven Cookson
Being dubbed by the powers that be as foreign TV (despite the fact that the world’s first working television was invented by a Scotsman), British and Australian TV has somehow been meshed together in a strange way that seems unfair to both parties.
Chances are you’re bound to find more about the British side of things, from its early beginnings of the Queen’s coronation to the modern day interactive red button mashing and endlessly advertised internet repeats, but those from Australia and New Zealand are free to discuss TV from their part of the world. Please.
So whether its comedy, documentary, drama, soaps and the ever omniscient craze that is reality TV, there’s someone for everyone who enjoys a bit of Blighty or Down Under as part of their TV fix.
