I guess this is the same reason that 99% of documentaries these days, even if they are UK produced about UK people (as an example, Supertruckers about a heavy haulage firm operating out of Bristol) use kilometres in the narration as opposed to miles? OK, I realise that technically we use the metric system across the board here now, and have done for years, so much so that most younger folk don't really know much about imperial, but the one thing we have hung on to is miles! Even someone celebrating their 17th birthday today and going out for their first driving lesson will be looking at their speedometer in miles per hour!

True, but then wasn't it on CH4, so they can pay for it with the adverts!

The income from tv ads is linked to how popular the tv show is
