Before the birth of BritBox and other UK-centric streaming services, it
seemed like our PBS network would re-run shows more often than they do now.
While there are 4 or so comedy shows that they still run often during their
two-hour "Britcoms" slot, they do not re-run most of the drama shows near
as often, and some of the comedies that used to rotate through that slot
have been dropped from rotation.

For example, the shows that "Endeavour" was a prequel to used to run
somewhat regularly but are no longer shown, and you cannot watch any of
them on PBS passport once their runs are over.
