As Jeffrey Miller underlines, however: “At the very moment Schiller was identifying […] the role of American media in creating ‘its emergent imperial society,’ the domestic producers and consumers of those media were themselves experiencing a new flow of messages and texts from Britain.”1 In 1964, NBC blazed a trail when it remade the BBC satirical show That Was the Week That Was (1962-63).2 This was soon followed by another ‘entertainment’ transfer, the Bond-inspired series The Avengers (ITV, 1961-69), broadcast on ABC (1965-69) in its original version, and, a few years later, by All in the Family (CBS, 1971-79), adapted from Till Death Us Do Part, launched on BBC1 in 1966.
