I never found anything particularly 'British' about B7 beyond the accents of the actors. At least STAR TREK had the "Omega Glory" episode, complete with the Declaration of Independence and the American flag. If anyone can point to something distinctly British within the entire run of the B7 series, it'll be news to me; I've never noticed.
