The US TV show Law and Order is one I watch regularly – and I think I’ve seen every episode of the 22 series of the original show, most of Trial by Jury, most of SVU (although some of it is a bit disturbing). I gave up on Law and Order: Miami, however.

It was entertaining that it spawned Law and Order: UK – and a little disappointing that the first few episodes were retreads of US plots.

Now it seems that the series spin-off from the UK is heading back to the States, and BBC America have produced a handy guide to help translate some of the UK slang. NB, we had to learn the American slang for ourselves the first time around!

Not sure they have the translation of having one’s knackers cut off quite right.
