The BBC and Netflix decided to go ahead and ruin your life this morning, with the announcement that most of the U.K. channel's programming may be pulled at the end of this month. A long-standing contract between the two entities is set to expire on January 31st, and there's no word yet on a renewal.
In a just and fair world, one might expect they'd sort out a new agreement, like, immediately. But, just in case, you might consider canceling all plans for the next 18 days and bingeing the shit out of your U.K. favorites. Here are some of the shows on the chopping block. Hug your streaming devices a little tighter tonight.
