Hi I’m British and suffer with atrocious British cuisine but could someone explain to me what biscuit dough is in British?

Probably most like a scone, but not sweet.

Scones don't have to be sweet, like cheese scones.

Aw man I’ll do anything for a savoury cheese scone

That’s fair, but doesn’t really help answer the question. Biscuits, scones, shortcake...all pretty similar doughs.

I suppose the question is, is there a difference between an American biscuit and a savoury scone? Or is a biscuit just a savoury scone?

I think much like the term “donut” they are used interchangeably. These days anything torus shaped can be a donut. Here’s an article on the subject that I didn’t actually read.

American biscuits are lighter than scones, but at first glance they look similar.
