GREAT BRITISH TV SHOWS YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IN THE US

These DVDs are for shows that will be on our list of favorite Brit TV shows that premiered in the UK in 2015. They might be shown in the US in the future, but if they’re not, it would be a shame for stateside fans to miss them, because they’re brilliant. Viewers in the US will need a multi-region/region-free DVD player to watch these DVDs as they’re coded for Region 2 (UK/Europe).

MULTI-REGION/REGION-FREE DVD PLAYERS

In addition to the above DVDs, there are so many other fabulous UK shows that never make it to US telly or streaming services, but are available on Region 2 DVDs.
