British show redone by the Americans? Remake.

You could argue it could qualify as either.

I've never been in favour of reruns or reimaginings of programmes (or movies for that matter).

What about Doctor Who? Yes, it’s a continuation in some regard but could easily have been a reboot and been much the same programme we had in season 1. 

Somethings work a second time other things don’t, but I don’t see why people would be against reusing a good idea in all circumstances.
