As I work for a large business information company, we provide global access dial-up for various web and FTP based products, I've seen quite a few 'long' ISDN phone calls - i.e. several weeks long!!!! As for TCP connections, we have machines that have uptimes easily in the hundreds of days.
If the programme is re-broadcast in the USA, it'll probably be more sensored than the UK version. The commerical broadcasters, unlike the BBC, often sensor the truth if it stops them making more money! I guess this is true the world over.
