Following the US version of BBC comedy Coupling from pilot to network debut, Alan Yentob explores the current fortunes of UK sitcoms in the USA.

American versions of hits such as Fawlty Towers, Steptoe And Son and One Foot In The Grave serve to illustrate the transformations - and disasters - that result when comedies cross the Atlantic.
