电视剧和文化密切相关。

电视剧作为一种综合的艺术表现形式，反映了一个国家或地区的文化，历史，社会，可以促进人们对文化的更深层次理解。

英国电视展现了剧英国人独特的幽默感以及当今社会英国人的生活百态。

通过本文的研究，作者将给出一个关于英剧的清晰印象。

本文通过归纳和梳理，从定义、分类、原因和其他方面，对近10年以来的流行英国电视剧做文献综述，这些英国电视剧包括古典剧、悬疑剧、情景喜剧等。

来对英国文化的理解的一个结论，旨在加深对英国文化的了解。

最后，作者希望本文对关心英国文化或者对夸文化交际研究感兴趣的人能有所帮助。

甚至，作者还希望本文会对中国的电视剧工作者在促进中国电视剧的发展提供帮助。
