[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 103899, member: 12"] They retitled Grace & Favour in the USA and called it “Are You Being Served? Again!”. It was felt that the American audience wouldn’t understand the wordplay and meaning of the term, “grace and favour”. They also retitled the later episodes of ITC’s Danger Man in the USA as “Secret Agent”, so as not to confuse the American audience with the earlier episodes of Danger Man that were called Danger Man. Despite it all being Danger Man, the USA screenings had a new Secret Agent title sequence and a Johnny Rivers-sung song that had lyrics that didn’t have much to do with the actual show. ITC’s William Tell also underwent a theme song change in the USA because the UK theme used a section of the William Tell Overture that was being used on The Lone Ranger. ITC’s Randall and Hopkirk Deceased was another UK show that got retitled in the USA, becoming My Partner The Ghost. [/QUOTE]
