Not again BBC America

WTH is going on with the TGNS? Two weeks in a row we were promised the episodes as they aired a week later from the UK. Both episodes included American guests, at least one iconic American actor. Yet BBCA at the last minute substitutes those eps. with "a best of" episode from a previous series.

Is BBCA feeling the effects of the Top Gear debacle? Now that we all know that show is going to be a complete joke, I'll be a proud Amazon Prime member next year.

However, there's no excuse for these last minute pulls. It's been amateur hour at BBCA for the last ten months.

I emailed the BBC America last week when the season premiere wasn't shown, and I was surprised to receive a prompt reply...it said they were unable to show the episode due to a delivery issue, and thanked me for my patience whole they resolve the matter.

Don't know what's going on, but it's odd and disappointing. :(

Thanks for your inquiry. In this century, a "delivery issue"? They don't have to hand over films from Europe by ship that take five-six days as they did before jet propulsion. Not to mention we now live in the live streaming wireless world. Something is not right.
