One word - NO! Buy the BBC version and screen it. Seriously, no offence but why do the Americans always have to try to reinvent the wheel and then tell the world they invented it!

There are some amazing American shows, don't get me wrong. But things that are good can remain so made outside of the US and from a non US perspective.

Drives me insane.

Arrrgh!

Well I guess they do this so that there can be more 'popular' shows to further boost ratings in the networks in U.S. That's just my guess. But yeah, remakes are usually a bad idea. I usually don't like them (regardless of who is doing them). I agree that this is a bad idea (Spooks getting remade in US).

Reminds me of how Life on Mars did horrible in the U.S...
