TVO is essentially Ontario's public television, and it's broadly similar to the high-mindedness and programming choices of PBS in the States. There's the same edifying kids' shows, current events, documentaries, and, of course, clunky British period dramas.

It's a talk show with excellent, international guests, and absolutely no BS, unlike even the best American shows like it.
