Heh, all of my numbers are conservative because I didn't click something unless I was absolutely certain that I had seen/watched/read it. An example from the movie list would be the Christoper Lee Dracula which I didn't check because I binged through a number of Hammer films in high school, but can't now remember specific titles. A different sort of example from the TV list is the 70's Upstairs Downstairs. I'd be uncertain of my having seen it, but my mother was certain we'd watched it together when I was young as we started watching the revival in 2010. Much of the British telly I've seen, apart from the ones you've talked me into watching streaming, I watched on our local PBS. They were very good about getting as much as they could as often as they could. I can't remember if we ever watched 'Allo 'Allo, but I'm positive I've fond memories of watching The Good Life. A New Englander raised an avid Anglophile. ;-)
Oh, yes, and much re-read on all fronts at various times! <3
I suspect one of the reasons my book number isn't as high is that my access to British literature hasn't been as good as it has been to movies and telly. I have long wished I could get my hands on a copy of Lungbarrow, say. I know, also, some of it is simply there are a number of books on my TBR list that you've actually managed to read. The Cloud Roads, The Crystal Gryphon, Doing Time, Fire & Hemlock, and The Goblin Emperor are all books I want to read, but haven't gotten to. Another factor are things like we have one Discworld book in common, but undoubtedly have both read more, and the big Anne McCaffrey books for me where her Pern books, not her brainship books. We don't need to read all the same books to share some deeply cherished ones. <3
