Seems to be no reason to do so now.
An added downside to the British shows on BBCA - they chop bits out of the episodes in order to fit in more commericials. On shows that originallly had no commerical breaks because they aired on the BBC, this can lead to pretty big chunks of plot needing to be jettisoned. I remember idly flicking through the channels when visiting my parents and finding a couple of episodes of "Life on Mars", for instance. Good LUCK trying to make sense of that show with 10-15 minutes shaved out of an ep.
