Stark Differences in US / UK Television

I have watched two programmes over the last couple of weeks that highlight the difference in attitude of Television series on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

In one, Supernatural, the programme described the Vanir as evil beings that are out to destroy the world! Hardly the truth (if you don't know the Vanir then google them and be educated!)

The other, Candleford, was a BBC period drama that addressed paganism in the form of a tree being consecrated by the local peasants, and the hew and cry of a local christian. This resulted in the local postmistress pointing out that both religeons had the right to exist, and to be worshiped equally according to the will of the individual!

So much for the Land of the Free!
