Oh my, that skit is awful.

I wonder if they think Mel is actually fat, or if they just used that actress out of convenience?

I don't think so but the PBS part is likely accurate as Older Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, and various other british shows air at various times. (BBC America does show Top Gear, Same Day Doctor Who premieres, and various other shows, some not even UK based like Orphan Black, which is a canadian production.)

I popped at BBUK but I didn't like the skit last night when I saw it, alot of Americans don't even realize that the US version exists since Summer is considered the offseason for TV in the states.

Really? I knew BBC America was funding at least part of it, so it could be called a BBC America original.

And I didn't know that PBS actually airs GBBO. That's interesting.

(PBS is kinda like the US' BBC but it's funded by viewer donations, intellectual organizations, and the kids shows are sponsored by Chuck E. Cheese)
