It used to p me off when various channels showed "The Avengers in Color". That's The Avengers with Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg - both British born actors. Made by ABC television - Associated British Corporation.Same with the US-published versions of books by British authors. A local charity shop used to have quite a few of these donated and when reading it jars to see a US spelling in a clearly British setting.
Q: Why the American spelling?
A: The UK probably only had the monochrome version and had to buy back an international copy from the US. (My speculation).
