October brings the highly-anticipated returns of two fan favorite shows, as well as UK program premieres in the US that are sure to please more than a few viewers.

Two new event miniseries — the soon-to-premiere Tut and the newly-commissioned Tutankhamun — could prove that Egypt’s boy-king and the man who discovered his tomb are ratings gold.

Viewers in the UK have more new dramas to look forward to, including the prequel to one of the best crime dramas ever to have graced tellys on both sides of the pond, and another starring a Downton Abbey alum.

Summer hasn’t arrived yet, but PBS has announced the schedule for its Fall 2015 season, which includes the British dramas Arthur & George, Indian Summers, and The Widower.

In Part 2 of this series, we look at shows expected to debut on BBC channels in 2015. Will they also screen in the US during this or a later year? Only time will tell. (Page 1 of 3)

In this final part of our year-end series, we look at our favorites amongst the shows that debuted in the UK over this past year, programs we hope will one day screen in the US.

As another year of fabulous British TV draws to a close, we take a look back at some of our favorite shows. Here in Part 1 are the ones that debuted in the US during 2014.

As we wait with bated breath for the new season of Doctor Who to premiere on the 23rd of August, BBC America has several more announcements, including the return of Orphan Black and Broadchurch and the commission of new programs.
