Robin Hood
I watched season one of the BBC series Robin Hood, and while the story line is ok, the rest is terrible. There are blatant jump cuts everywhere. The ending involves a celebratory jump, where it freezes in mid air. Also the jokes are terrible. Instead a cat got your tongue, they say sheriff got your tongue. Not only that, but then they explain how its ironic it is. I thought the British said that Americans did not know what satire was. This is the only BBC show that I have watched. Has anyone noticed any similarities in other BBC shows

the only BBC show I've seen is Merlin, which usually does fine with jump cuts and doesn't have any cheesy freeze frames/jokes at a "sheriff got your tongue" level. I haven't watched Dr. Who, but seeing how popular it is (at least at a cult level, I have no idea about widespread popularity) I'm guessing that show has better jokes and editing as well. At least, I'd hope so...
