Description
British television has never been more popular worldwide, with American interest in Downton Abbey (ITV) more voracious than at home and fans worldwide fawning over Sherlock (BBC). American audiences can get their fix of UK TV on Masterpiece, a show that broadcasts UK shows such as Upstairs Downstairs (BBC), The Forsythe Saga (ITV) and more in the US. Producer Rebecca Eaton has worked behind the scenes for over 25 years and consequently has many fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes and interviews with famous actors and directors to share.
