I do think English TV (sorry there is only a handful of shows produced in Wales, Scotland and Ireland that are good) has produced a huge amount of quality programming. Although the last ten years have produced very little in relation to the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's.
A pleothara of quality films and music. I am currently goign through an 'Alan Clarke' period (one of Britain's far to often overlooked directors). I've managed to get hold of a number of his less well known TV films that are not available on dvd.
Snooker not pool. 18ft by 9ft 6inch table, now theres a sport of skill. Nothing to do with the fact Ronnie O Sullivan (the most nstrually skilled sportsman to live in my opinion) was owned at pool in America!
While the NHS has many flaws I personally think a free health service is a necessity for any (reasonably) economically stable industrial country that wishes to be considered civilised.
Britain doesn't have a death penalty in practice (technically you can be hung for treason or piracy (as in pirate ship not file sharing) I think) but to the best of my knowledge it has not been enforced.
