Yeah I think a lot of it is to do with there just being fewer shows available to watch and fewer choices.

They speak English."
this confuses me. its a leap (or somehow offensive) to assume that tourists speaking French or Arabic or Japanese don't speak English? I sure as hell assume that American tourists in France, Egypt and Japan only speak English...

Because English is the commonly used language for a lot of business and entertainment, many more people will speak English as a second language and they will generally be better at it than an English person who took Spanish in highschool or something. The big English speaking Western countries - Australia, Canada, UK, and United States - all tend to be very dominated by English, whereas many other countries are a lot more multilingual by default. It's not a universal, but it is a well known trend.
