Writer-Performers Charlie & Daisy Cooper | Breakthrough Brits 2017

- For siblings Charlie and Daisy, growing up in Cirencester and watching comedy together shaped who they are as writers and performers today. From a young age they began making short comedy films with their mum’s home video camera, inspired by the people they saw around them.
The seed of their hit BBC sitcom This Country came when Charlie, who had left university in his second year, moved to London to live with Daisy while she completed her training at RADA. With very little money and missing home, the pair began to talk about the characters they met growing up. This led to the creation of Kerry, a mixture of people the siblings had known, and before long they found themselves writing a script.
It took another five years before This Country was commissioned. The pair remember how high the stakes had become: they had returned to their childhood home, worked night shifts together as cleaners for £7 an hour, and watched as all their friends left town. There was no ‘plan B’, but they believed in their vision for the series. Difficult as their journey was, they wouldn’t change any of it. To them, it’s crucial that you live and breathe your project, to have faith in your vision and to use mistakes as beacons to guide you towards where you want to be.

How can they not win? Nothing came close to the brilliance of This Country on TV last year.
vordman people just do nothing.
@I hate virtue signallers are you fucking serious? the show is not racist its just factual. there is very few Muslims or black people in them type of villages so stop trying to be politically correct that doesn't make them racist.
I hate virtue signallers it’s set in a cotswold village, and the people have usually been there for generations upon generation - they very rarely see African or Middle Eastern immigrants so it just wouldn’t be accurate.
I hate virtue signallers sadly it’s not as black youths kill each other all the time lolololol
I hate virtue signallers also you should look up the meaning of bigot before calling ppl it for not agreeing with you because you are actually being the bigot. Respect peoples opinion instead of trying to call them stuff and get people to lose their job bcos that is the literal meaning of a bigot.
Oven space is actually my favorite episode.
KERRRRYYYYYYYYYYY
Mine is the one where Kerry is flogging those awful Fitness drinks :)
Why are you crying?
Im not crying...im just so hungry

I have never laughed out loud as much as I have at that episode. When he gets emotional at the pizza, and when Kerry throws the glass, oh god too many moments to write down. I can’t remember the quote word for word but it was along the lines of “if you want to have a laugh while also feeling physically sick, watch Kerry’s mum put on some sandals, it’s like two lumps of spam squeezed into a Birkenstock” actually kills me
The BEST British television comedy since the Office. I've watched it front to back three times. Incredible.
STRSGN me too!
100%
Agree, I've watched it twice now , love it ...
I'm just on my third time too haha. It's just TOO funny
My fifth time 😂
The thing is, I don't even like bountys
but I like the underdog!
He hoovers them up
I just feel sorry for them
Things is though I don't actually like them
Charlie, daisy may and Paul Cooper are more than actors for me. After suffering a seizure at a live show for them on a Friday, Monday morning I received a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers, a box of chocolates and wine with a lovely hand written card.
All three and all the actors are incredible.
Very very sad to loose Michael sluggs he was amazing.
I’m a tiny bit in love with Charlie. They’re both hugely talented!
xColmGx I like both lol
I love him too dw
Me too!
I think im in love with charlie at this point
So humble.
After looking at these comments I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds Charlie attractive 😂
He was a model 😘
he’s like the british pete davidson
He is literally a model.
white Ferrari hahahaha literally
@@lindamaygregory I just looked up "charlie cooper model" and thank you
"I don't use the basic slice system!"
'Do you want a turkey dinosaur kurts?'
'Oh yea really?!'
'No'
"The pair remember how high the stakes had become: they had returned to their childhood home, worked night shifts together as cleaners for £7 an hour, and watched as all their friends left town. There was no ‘plan B’, but they believed in their vision"
my life
God, I love them both. They both seem really intelligent but really good at acting like spakkas
They've both got such beautiful eyes, and great personalities, and This Country is the best thing on TV for years.
They are writing some high quality comedy really. This Country is just real England. Love it.

You guys are so wonderful, I love This Country so much, it's so real and so, so, so funny. You remind me of me and my big sister - so I'm super impressed you managed to write and make two series full stop. Our fights would stop us from even getting that far!
You guys are amazing and a complete inspiration.
Never watched anything so hilarious when u first watch y think I bet this will be so boring but when you persist; it’s the most class humour / comedy show I’ve watched where the concept is so simple yet so hilarious... so effortless just Brilliant I think 😊 and to think they actually wrote it themselves!! wow
This show is simply brilliant. Can’t get enough of it.
These guys are so deserving, This Country was funny, genuine and heartwarming. I can't wait to see what else they come up with!
I've now added 'This Country' to my list of favourite Comedies of all time:-
Only Fools, The Office, Summer High Heights, Nighty Night, Gavin & Stacey
Love your taste, Bailey. Could I add "Getting On" to your list?!
@@itabrennan7420 early doors
So so so well deserved guys. You are absolutely awesome and Kerry’s character is by far my favourite :) great show that makes you laugh but also breaks your heart a little highlighting some of the sad issues that people living in the countryside face. It’s helped me understand a lot more too, very educational! Love it and cannot wait for series 3!!! Xxx
I wish them every success, I love this country so much

This could be an "Office" spin-off/origin story about Gareth when he was young
These two are brilliant! That programme is the best thing on TV in recent years. Glad I paid my TV licence 😉😐
As someone who grew up just outside Cricklade (about 7 miles away from Cirencester) I love this show and it takes me back to my childhood at the same time. 😎
