I could understand if there was a few hours delay between the UK and US's showing of this show. E.g. Satellite transfer time or something. I could even understand/accept a few days delay.
But why/how the heck, does it need to be so long (months). What is the point of the delay ?
Why not show it simultaneously (give or take a few minutes/hours or days) ?
Usually it is the other way round. Something shows initially in the US, and then appears in the UK, many months or even years later.
Presumably there is some kind of really good reason/explanation for the significant delay.
Ever so tiny spoiler:
At the end, it seems to say something on the lines of that the show is made both by a UK company and a US one. All the more reason for showing it in both countries at the same/similar times.
Presumably it will appear on youtube, a lot sooner than Feb 2017. Which is another good reason for them to show it at similar times.
Wild speculation:
Maybe the US gets the show at a significant discount, due to the delay.
