Firstly, in British there are many televisions broadcasting. The main broadcasting in British is BBC (British Broadcasting Company), which is the first broadcasting company in British. It is independent company of government, but also the government can influence the company to do not show something. Moreover, advertisement is significant part in media. It is one of the ways to funding the company. In TV the advertising usually promote for the goods like food, drinks and shops. Each advertisement takes for 1 to 3 minutes. One other hand, the in the UK TV channels there is many programmers represents, for instant: documentary, news and children programmers. In addition, TV soap operas are serials with daily life. There are serial and series programmers. In serial the main actors or characters unchanged from serial to serial but each episode have it storyline. However, a series is particular number of episode.
