I have always loved what I have seen about the British in the media. From the time I was little, I have watched whatever programming has made its way overseas to America and loved every moment of it. Dr. Who was a staple of mine when I was young along with Monty Python, and I have come to find new favorites more recently, such as: Smoking Room, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (in all its forms), and Little Britain. I just think the British have a sense of humor that isn't available here in America.
As a person involved with media, I would love to start a career over in England. But, I don't know how I would make the move. I guess, I would like to know some possible ways to get a job in England as a foreigner. I would be willing to start at the bottom of course, and I would be willing to work at positions which are in other fields while I worked on citizenship.
To get a tier 1 work visa you need a masters degree. Alternatively, to get a tier 2 work visa you need to be qualified to do something on the shortage list - click on the link under 'related documents' on this page UK Border Agency | Government-approved shortage occupation list for Tier 2 of the points-based system (http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2009/november/ga-approved-shortage-list-tier-2 - broken link)
Have you visited? I have to say as an English woman probably permanently relocated to the US (well I've been here 26 years) the last time I went home (yes I know, but old habits die hard) I found the overcrowding frazzling too much: too many people, too many cars, just too much. I have always thought I would retire back to the UK but unless there is some sort of plague that cuts the population in half, I doubt I will be doing it. I suspect I could get used to it, but I'm not sure I want to.

Not sure where you used to live or visited but there are certainly still plenty of locations in the UK that are not overcrowded. And my husband is always going on about how the UK has an aging population (less and less children being born).
Southern and eastern primarily. My point is not that the UK is massively overcrowded but that one becomes used to a certain density of population, if I can put it like that. As an example, I walk my dog at a local public park - I am much more likely to see no one else than I am to see another person. I honestly hadn't realized just how used I had become to this.
Anyway - I think it is very, very unwise to consider moving to a place unless you have visited: TV is all well and good but it really doesn't give the flavour of a place.
little britian is a perfect description of someplaces, i would recommend starting of the outskirts of london as it is suffocating and moving closer once used to our culture
Can't beat Scotland and North East England its not crowded and your not paying through the nose for housing. Countryside is beautiful. People are very friendly, there are so many positives.
Just to add to those who have said that it's crowded over here, I heard on the radio earlier this week that England has overtaken the Netherlands as the most crowded country in Europe.
Let's keep packing 'em in, room for two more on top
