If you look hard enough you can find glimpses of this other Britain on American TV, in shows such as the classic “Prime Suspect” or in the youth-oriented series “Skins” and “The Inbetweeners.” Excessively hyper and often toppling over into implausibility, “Skins” did nonetheless capture many aspects of young Britain in the 2000s, from the routine and almost unremarkable drug use to the obsessions with clothes, gadgets and sex. The more humdrum and bathetic “Inbetweeners” follows the misadventures of four hapless, sex-starved teenage boys as they traipse through the modern-look suburbia (not a thatched roof or duck pond in sight) that covers much of the U.K. To get a shot at the U.S. mainstream, they’ve both had to be remade (by MTV) with American settings and characters.
And so televised Britain remains how Americans seem to like it: a fantasy land of castles and cucumber sandwiches, trusty valets and well-spoken villains, and a valiant prince marrying his fairy tale princess.
