I don't follow this. I understand that "xerox" as a generic means a
copy, or "to copy" (as a verb). But what does "BBC" as a generic mean?
Any foreign (to the US) tv network? Any UK network?

Nope, I meant BBC as any UK network generic. I knew there other
networks in the UK, but I tend to refer to most (if not all) UK shows
as BBC shows, even if they aren't (as is the case with Primaeval).
