UK Exports



OMG! So I have just found out that they are to produce a US version of Shameless! When will it stop!!! I know I should have that feeling of 'Pride', but with the disappointments of  The Office: An American Workplace and Life on Mars, I don't know where I stand on this discovery.

There have been many US remakes over the years; from game-shows to dramas, with many being very unsuccessful. So my fingers are crossed on this one.

Shows of ours that are shipping off to America in the future are:
Hustle-Apparently there are talks of turning this into a film.
Spooks
Inbetweeners
Skins
Mistresses
Pulling
Outnumbered

Even Gavin and Stacey's getting a US remake!! OMG that is one show I would want to see. I wonder how they will develop an Americanised version of  the Welsh-Anglo love story that we all know and love in sunny old UK. Sadly the show will  not be written by creators James Corden and Ruth Jones so I have fears of it not having the same essence as the original.
