I've known about the license requirement in the UK for a long time.  I 
didn't know it costs that much.  I gather that license fee covers the 
costs of the BBC.

I've always enjoyed the British comedies far more than our home-grown 
ones here in the USA.  Since I was young (I'm 56), Public Broadcasting 
stations broadcasted some of the shows, going back to Monty Python's 
Flying Circus in the 1970s.  "Mr. Bean" was one of the best, IMO along 
with "Are You Being Served".  I've not seen "Mrs. Brown's Boys" 
broadcasted here but I've seen some of them online, that was an 
outrageous comedy.  "Mrs. Brown gets a bikini wax" has to rank as one of 
the funniest bits I ever have and ever will see.  IMO, we've got nothing 
in the USA as outrageously funny as some of the British shows.
