So the BBC has bought the rights to an American Documentary from YEARS ago, and are now trying to pass it off as a "BBC Documentary"

Does anyone else find this really disingenuous?

It's a show that was a series in America a few years ago about conjoined twins. It's 100% American, and already aired in it's entirety, but the BBC is trying to label it as a "BBC Documentary".

Or there was a show recently they stole from PBS called "America in primetime" and they renamed it "the United States of Television" and put it on BBC Two with a British voice over. Do Brits realize how many shows that the BBC BUYS from America and then they try to pass it off as BBC productions?

This happens with a ton of Discovery channel and National Geographic channel documentaries as well.

i just find it annoying that they try to pass it off as a BBC documentary when they are clearly American documentaries which the BBC had nothing to do with.
