I'm not a fan of Top Gear or Gordon Ramsay so instead of having some of these shows on BBC America I wish they would put on some Brit Coms like:

3 Up, 2 Down
My Family
Coupling
The Good Neighbors
Yes, Prime Minister
Yes, Minister
Are You Being Served, Again

And also the Robin Hood series with Jason Connery and the original 1950s Robin Hood Series with Richard Greene. I know My Family is on but it isn't on enough in my opinion. I only see it listed every once in awhile. And Please bring back Doctor Who while you're at starting with Doctor #1 William Hartnell with An Unearthly Child all the way through the most recent Doctor. I miss seeing Doctor Who on my local PBS Station (MPT) Maryland Public Television and for awhile it was on 2 local PBS Stations WMPT & also WETA channel 26. And I would also like to see East Enders and Coronation Street plus maybe start showing some Classic Movies too like To Sir, With Love and Georgy Girl. As well as footage of Rock Concerts from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The WHO, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and everyone else from The British Invasion. Maybe even have it so people could buy things all British like Tea Sets, Salt and Pepper Shakers, Souvenirs about Stone Henge, Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street, the British Police Call Box the Doctor's TARDIS is based upon, etc. and also Complete DVD Sets of some of these TV Shows and others as well.

I love Coupling but it has been shown Ad nauseum on BBC America and most of those other shows have been shown time and again on various PBS stations. I think BBC America is attempting to show a more contemporary lineup of shows rather than the stuff PBS tends to show - most of which is 30 - 40 years old!
BBC America's lineup does include a recent serialisation of Robin Hood and also Torchwood. They showed Eastenders for a while but I guess it didn't get good viewing figures because they dropped it.
If you go on the BBC America website, there is a shop selling most of the things you mention. They even have a Tardis.
