BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)
(launched as a radio network in 1922, and as a TV network in 1932)

Note: The BBC is a transphobic organization, and I don't want to support it in any way. However, I already had this page on my site before I learned of that prejudice, and I'm not going to just delete it, because I still hope that someday the situation will change.

I've never actually seen anything directly on the BBC (or any other British networks), of course. But I've seen numerous BBC shows on American channels like PBS and BBC America, as well as Canadian channel CBC. Some things I first saw on VHS, and much later, there were things I watched online. Also I should say, "BBC" is more than just one channel, but I'm going to list all the BBC shows I've seen on a single page, anyway, just under different headings for the specific channels. It should be noted that many of these shows may have aired on various BBC channels in the UK, particularly in reruns, but I'll try to list the original channel for each show. (I may sometimes get it wrong; certainly the BBC website itself is no help, as it tends to list things only on whichever channel aired them most recently.)
