UK content is simply consumed worldwide because it's english. German is only spoken in three countries - Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Everything produced here must be synchronized or subbed making exports expensive, in addition to Germans not liking risky experiments very much which means there is less interest.

Although the BBC produces a lot of rubbish, it also produces high quality drama, comedies and documentaries. People watch these not simply because they are in English.
People will watch quality programming regardless of the language. Just witness the popularity of Scandinavian dramas that have won audiences across the world. Although Germany dubs foreign-language programmes (badly), lots of other countries are happy to watch with subtitles.
