- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Today we're talking all things British TV! Here are the best British TV shows from when I was a foreigner living in England. The UK has a LOT of TV, so it was extremely hard to narrow it down to just 10 shows - but I'll be posting more videos on British TV eventually! For all viewers living in the UK: what's your favourite British TV show??

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a TH-cam video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

@Michael Shaughnessy Theft and Shrubbery lol!
@Michael Shaughnessy In Stoke where I am when I were a lad we called it hedgehopping.
One of the contestants on BakeOff started crying because something didn't go to plan. And then got even more upset because she knew her breakdown would be broadcast to the country. So the presenters and other contestants just started swearing really loudly for 10 minutes to make the footage unusable so it would have to get edited out. How wholesome!
More evidence of how childish people in this country have become.
Not everything in life goes your way. Get used to it.
So sweet!
"I do not watch a lot of television" sounds like "I do not actually drink that much" I am picturing Alanna sitting watching tv with her bottles around going "oh yea" ;)
Me also, I keep feeling she's got a Patreon channel about drinking 🍺😁
Before every program starts :
"Without further addo, let's go"
Peep Show is the best British comedy for me, beautifully written and endlessly quotable. Inside Number Nine is another must watch show too
'Would I lie to you' and 'Task Master' are bonkers.
Bob mortimer is a national treasure and just batsh*t insane.
10/10 would reccomend
10/10 I do agree
@@AdventuresAndNaps You might enjoy James Acaster's audiobook "classic scrapes". He's a british comedian who gets into weird situations quite a lot. You may have seen him on WILTY.
@Phil Becker I said the same to Alanna last week regarding Taskmaster and Bob being a national treasure. When you first hear his stories, you know they can't be true. Then they are. Now there's no way of knowing what is true and what is a lie. He even made an advert about queuing at a chippy entertaining.
And he's a Northerner too....
@@corrigenda70 dog dirt...
Mrs Brown is terrible. A blight on our nation.
Thankfully it is Irish so technically not British
It’s utter bilge isn’t it!
I'm irish and I cannot stand that idiotic stupid rubbish show. It's so bad. Most irish people cannot stand Brendan O Carrol either. So british people can keep the idiot
@@freddiemac1438 Are you people real, Mrs. Brown's boys is comedy gold?
Mrs Brown is seriously unfunny as is Michael McIntyre.
Hearing you say “a bit of bully” in your accent has made made my week lol
"I do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden." Bob Mortimer
MY FAVOURITE!!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Yay! Theft and shrubbery ! :)
Don't Forget your JoggleTop
Fawlty Towers and Blackadder: British comedy at its best.
My dad absolutely loved Fawlty Towers...in fact he would record episodes on video cassettes back in the 80's...remember those bulky VHS cassettes?
Btw I'm from Australia...so maybe you had a different brand in the UK?
We had VHS in the UK too; although a few people had Betamax.
Yep. We had VHS too. Looking at one now you can’t believe how bad the quality was, but hey... it was the 80s!
Only Fools and Horses was and still is the best English comedy. The trouble with Fawlty Towers is there's so few episodes, whilst OFAH is just as funny and ran from the early 80s into the early 90s!
Oh yeah, and don't forget Are You Being Served, and Mr Bean! Seattle area here. My dad passed away recently at 102 and still had and watched his old cassettes all the time. Nothing like good British humor.
The mention of Bullseye makes me warm and happy inside. They've won £25 and it'll take Jim the commercial break to count it out
It's actually good to hear that someone who was not raised on British TV finds a lot to like. I think we Brits tend to take it all for granted and I've lost count of the times when friends have said to me that 'last night's TV was rubbish' or that they couldn't find anything to watch. That said, thank goodness you didn't pick any soaps Alanna - you've restored my faith in human kind!!
I think we Brits watch you so much,not only for your GSOH and personality,but because mainstream media often tell us,in one way or another,that we don't have a British culture. Its great that people like you are here to define it for us.
This Canadian loves me some British comedy TV and films. No one does it like the Brits!
Brianna Tallman This isn’t the place for porn.
"Would I Lie To You" would be called a panel show. That’s what us Brits call gameshows featuring celebrities.
For any international viewers out there we should explain that panel shows typically involve comedians answering questions (ostensibly to score points). However, no-one really cares how many points they score because they are more interested in making each other laugh.
@@dougfile6644 and generally the scores are predetermined and make no sense. Lol
Kev O'Connor Not usually predetermined, just entirely irrelevant. :-D
When you said a cross between a quiz show and darts 😂😂 I never realised how ridiculous it was until you said it
What! No Doctor Who! You’ve missed so much. The David Tennant / Billie Piper love story. So strong 💕
Torchwood was another great one .
If you've not seen it I'd recommend Detectorists. Possibly the most English TV programme ever. And for someone that likes detective stuff Broadchurch is a good one.
LiamE69 The Dectectorists is amazing. It’s like a comfy woolly jumper, perfect to chill out in front of on a Sunday afternoon. Good shout!
Ahhh, Detectorists. TV perfection.
That series is wonderful... it is an ode to the British countryside
I absolutely loved it too 😁
Yes yes yes, it was one of the best series i have seen. I loved how gentle it was.
I’m one of “the old people” - thanks for reminding me. lol
All I’m going to say is “Rising Damp”.
Keeps us oldies amused.
that always depressed me.. i think i thought the house had a damp and mould problem and it saddened me.
Q7 Spike Milligan
Bullseye is a guilty secret of mine, love it so much! You nailed why, the hair, the glasses, but ultimately, the prizes 😁
Mrs Brown's Boys is terrible! Lowest common denominator tv. It's mainly been successful by being given a prime time slot, with very little sitcom competition, over recent years. It's a shame because we have a long tradition of truly excellent sitcoms.
It is really a quasi pantomime
I'm from Ontario too and I fell in love with Call the Midwife off the recommendation of a British TH-camr. But I recently started watching Would I lie to you? off of your recommendation and loved it. I subsequently found 8 out of 10 cats does countdown and I love that as well. There's something about British tv shows -- they're wholesome and not overly dramatic and I think that's why I love them haha
Many of us haven't watched Dr Who and are UK citizens too. You are to be congratulated.
Dr Who is for children just like Harry Potter. I can feel the hate coming!
@@mauricecasey5556 The daleks, to quote a famous tennis player, You cannot be serious.
@@mauricecasey5556 At the risk of living up to your post, I think that's a bit harsh. The first few modern series were very good, lost it's way a bit since though.
Maurice Casey Only for some children. I’ve never been interested in it, the trailers were enough to keep me away.
As a foreigner i enjoyed watching "Fawlty towers" ( i am a big fan of the Monty Pythons and of John Cleese) , "Keeping up appearances" and "Blackadder"
More recenyly i would add to check out "The Detectorist" for a nice county side feeling.
TV shows oriented and for popculture QI with Stephen Fry are gold, Newswipe from Charlie Brooker is also enlightening for some cultural/historical "facts".
Putting Keeping up Appearances in the same sentence as Blackadder and Fawlty Towers is blasphemy!
Only fools and horses an all time classic for me and Morecambe and Wise, they had fantastic comedy chemistry
I love all comedy programmes and there are some good American and British sitcoms but I truly believe only fools and horses is the funniest show ever made and I don’t think there will ever be anything funnier in the future. Problem is people think don’t give it a chance as its older and also the first couple of series are great, but it reaches its peak later on
@@jakeclough8090 In Serbia this TV show has never ending popularity, it's a social phenomena. I'm personally a millennial, and I watched the show multiple times and never got bored. Outstanding slang and charisma, with many English words I heard only on this show, design to work against the Rodney's self-esteem. :D
trr yy oh it’s just the best. I’m only 17 and it annoys me many people don’t give it a chance because they think it’s old. Definitely the funniest sitcom ever. It’s so well written
The best crime drama has to be Line of Duty.
My mum loves Line of Duty!
Endeavour and all the Morse Crime Drama’s are excellent.
Unforgotten with Nicola Walker in it - amazing!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Your mum's right. You should listen to her. Line of Duty is pretty frigging fantastic.
Mother of God!
Favourite Bullseye moment...
Jim Bowen: In Greek mythology, what was the food of the gods?
Contestant: Sorry, don't know. Pass.
Jim Bowen: Apparently it was Ambrosia. You'd think the gods would eat summat better than rice pudding, wouldn't you?
Classic. I saw a great Xmas special a while back where they blatantly edited it not so subtly, so the celebrities were getting a suspiciously high score.
Hilarious!
How dare you knock rice pudding!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Hi Alanna. Not connected to this post, but it maybe something of interest to you, and make your followers aware about, or should that be aboot ?😆 Check out CANZUK international on Change.org. just had an email update as I was watching one of you older posts, it is a petition to promote a freedom of movement agreement between Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK, similar idea to the EU. One of your Canadian politicians is backing the plan too.
@@alexstorr3357 Jim was a ex school teacher
Not “British” but a fantastic tv series from our Irish neighbours is Derry Girls very well written would recommend to anyone on channel 4
Northern Irish , it counts.
@Matthew Jones : Yes
it is british not english and its great
Canadian here. When we visited London the hotel had the Challenge channel. We watched way too many game shows including The Chase and Bullseye. I have heard of all of these shows but Taskmaster. One of my faves is 8 out of 10 Cats for panel shows. And the IT Crowd is awesome. I have watched it all twice now.
Watch a show called peep show if you liked the It crowd
"Still Game" hilarious and def British~Scottish humour!
Absolutely love Still game. Arguably the funniest comedy sitcom ever.
One of the best modern comedy made in the last 20 years. The characters appeared on chewing the fat in 99 but still game started in 2002.
Still Game, the best comic sitcom from the BBC in many years, there's been nowt since it finished, I just don't see the attraction in Mrs Brown's Boys, doesn't work for me.
Still game, Derry Girls, Two doors down, Mum, Reggie Perrin, Rising damp Only Fools and Horses, Not going out. To name a few.
She'd need to watch it with subtitles.
I have bitter sweet memories of Bullseye, I loved the show but it was on Sunday evenings in the 80’s, that conflicted with the back to school on Monday feelings 😂
Loved listening to your enthusiastic recommendations for British TV shows and will definitely watch anything you tell me to!......Big snag though.....I threw my TV away about 12 years ago!
I’m sure I’m not the first to comment re: Mrs Brown’s Boys but thank you for leaving that honking great pile of shite off your list of good shows. No one should ever have to endure that rubbish 🙏🏻
Hope you are well. Unfortunately the writing of Doctor Who has gone from science-fiction to preaching. So the ratings have tanked.
I've only watched the David Tennant episodes.
I love Doctor Who, but I am not one to get angry at people who don't like the same things I do - firstly it would be a boring world if we all liked exactly the same things, plus if you hear someone gushing about something you have never watched, it may inspire you to give it a try, and that is how you sometimes end up loving something you might never have otherwise given a chance to!
She is right to avoid it, I haven't watched it since 1985, but others in my household watch it, so I pick up their views from their chats. Even the ones who watch it say it has been limping along for about 6 years on an ever steeper decline.
But where's the fun in that? You would have been like a fish out of water if you'd grown up during the British 80s computer scene. ;-)
@@neilbuckley1613 The problem with Doctor Who is that it's a show that invites opinion. The show has gone on so long and is so pervasive in various media that the fans all feel that they own it to some extent. As a result, almost everything they do will be publicly maligned by a loud minority, whilst the majority either approve or keep their mouths shut. I'm not guilt-free of this myself but you tend to find more criticism of Doctor Who along the lines of "it's crap now because of this ill-defined reason" than you do in many non "cult" franchises
Nah, Doctor Who is rubbish and I'm really angry that Alanna's not going to watch it and see how bad it is!
I lost count the amount of times ppl said "omg you HAVE to watch GoT"...2 years later I did watch it and it was predictable garbage, I rarely recommend tv/films to ppl unless I know they actually share an interest in that genre.
Was totally distracted by the fact that I almost bought the t-shirt you're wearing and now I'm deeply regretful :( Great video as always! You truly have become a Brit in my opinion!
I'm in Australia and i dont have free to air tv either, so I watch quite a bit of youtube and Netflix. There are many episodes of the shows you are mentionining on youtube. Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You, QI, Have I Got News For You are all favourites of mine. I am amazed how good your summaries of the shows are.
Peter Kay does a brilliant skit of Bullseye. Even Jim Bowen (the host) loved it.
Mortimer & Whitehouse : Gone Fishing is a great show, even if you don’t know anything about or have no interest in fishing. They’re both just hilarious.
Yes! What a great show
Great video, I enjoyed some of them, I won’t hype my favs (you missed them) but maybe you will get round to them when your back home 👍🏻👍🏻
Life on Mars - one of the best things on TV ever made by anyone anywhere. 16 episodes of absolute perfection.
there were several mistakes where certain legendary songs were played and weren't released until a few years later,but generally, a terrific and inventive drama and very accurate (i'm that old) with the casual racism and sexism but we laughed anyway.
Red Dwarf is worth a watch! (you did not mention that! ;))
akt it was up to season 6. After that was just an unfunny mess. Since then I think I remember laughing three times at the show. And two of them were in the recent feature length. A shame really cause I genuinely loved that show to the point of obsession.
Angel McLeod yeah you’re not wrong! After that point it went super pony! Classic before though!
akt ever since Rob Grant left. You can straight up tell he was the funny one of the two.
Couldn't blame you for not wanting to watch British soaps. They're very downbeat and depressing. You can feel suicidal after one episode. Dr Who was good at one time. You're not missing anything now. You're absolutely right about the comedy panel shows. They're great fun. Some really good choices there.
Soap characters are some of the Most unlikeable People in Existence it Reminds of the Vanity and Stupidity that can exist in humanity
The Detectorists is just about the most English light comedy you could see.
This Country is well worth watching. 🤣
The Detectorists has been on my list for ages!
It's totally serene. I love that show.....and the ending :D
A beautiful show; and they spend equal amounts of time in the glorious countryside and in the pub chatting. You feel you're there with them. And what a theme song.
Brilliant video as always.
I would recommend the following: "House of Cards" the UK version all three series were brilliant, "Father Brown" series for crime and mystery for daytime watching, any british version of an Agatha Christie "Poirot" and "Miss Marple" BBC and ITV (I love them) and finally "Black Books" brilliant sitcom based in a failing book shop.
Some of my favourite British shows has to be Peep Show and The IT Crowd! So funny and silly
Peep show is by far my favourite sitcom
Peep Show, I must try again, I like Mitchell & Webb but the series hasn't worked for me yet. The IT Crowd, yes, a classic!, up there with Father Ted and Black Books, I laugh till I hurt watching those!
“Have you tried turning it off and then on again?” And often quoted IT crowd line in our home 😂
Mark Leslie Miranda is SUPER silly, and I found quite funny
Have a look at "Toast of London" or "The Mighty Boosh"
Have I Got News For You. Best ever episode was when a politician called Roy Hattersley failed to turn up so they put a tub of lard in his seat
The funniest thing was that Tub of Lard and Paul Merton won
And Roy thought it was hilarious! Don't say that some politicians can't laugh at themselves....
Elton John was unavailable at the last minute, so they got a lookalike to replace him.

@@Spank1973... and some of his questions were in a foreign language. As Deayton said to Hislop: "We did all we could, Ian."
It has to be when Deyton just got piss ripped out of him, when he came back :-D
Fawlty Towers
Some mothers do have em
Red Dwarf
Yes Minister
The Prisoner
Yes minister is wank
Hustle
Only fools and horses
Father Ted
So glad you like Would I lie to you. Excellent taste. Our “Parlour Game” shows are usually full of silliness as you say. But what you failed to mention (and I know it’s stuck in your head somewhere you numpty) is that it is often done in a very serious manner. 😊
One comedy sketch show I'd recommend is That Mitchell and Webb look. You can watch episodes on youtube so it's not difficult to find online.
"Would I lie to you" has its roots in another show from the past named "Call my bluff" which had a similar format it originated in the U.S
It seems to have come full circle. David Michell is married to Victoria, the daughter of Alan Corran, one of the Call my Bluff team captains.
Thanks for that! I've been watching Call My Bluff for about 50 years, and I never knew until now that it was based on a US gameshow.
Never connected the two formats, I think you have a point, I would love to see who was it? Frank Muir and erm, Patrick someone on WILTY
I used to think I was being a very intellectual child watching Call My Bluff; I’m not sure the same would apply to watching WILTY.
Love, love, love The Great British Baking Show for all the reasons you mentioned and the location is so pretty.
So true!
Google The two Ronnies "Four Candles" It's a real treat.
No no no FORK'ANDLES. 'Andles fer forks!
@@misterhayleyface The perfect sketch.
@Catharsis The Cheese shop by Python is a classic!
@@dinerouk The argument clinic is also brilliant
I prefer the Mastermind sketch personally
The Fast Show. It's great, honestly, it's so good, it's fabulous, it's really, really good.
Brilliant, but after that Tiger Woods bit...
Nice.
Int milk brilliant
Suits you sir
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv oooh!
Another great panel show is QI - they have had 18 seasons so far - each one has been themed around one of the letters of the alphabet (the latest being Q - they are going in order...)
Toksvig doing a good job but miss Mr Fry
They do make mistakes though. Like claiming that Florence Nightingale invented the pie chart which is an urban myth and almost everything that has anything to do with German is very iffy. Claiming that 'Doppeltgänger' is the proper German word is utterly hilarious it is so wrong.
“ They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is... “
The most entertaining way of being educated.
Imagine having stephen fry as a teacher?
The great thing about 'Would I Lie To You' is how the guests and the captains find the stories they hear so damned funny and that comes right through the TV screen, encouraging you to laugh with them. Great TV. Good choice!
You have great taste in TV! Totally agree with you on Would I Lie To You, I’m always in stitches when Bob Mortimer is talking about doing his own dentistry, and the famous and mysterious ‘FUJI 9’ 😂
The Mighty Boosh ! Noel Fielding (Great British Bake Off ) was co writer and co star. Its on Netflix. Its so eccentric, outrageous and I'd love it if you gave it a chance. The seasons actually get better and better and its charm increases on the rewatch. THE UK MISSES YOU LOADS THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO IT WAS FANTASTIC LIST, ALANNA : ))
British TV is up there being one of the best
Alanna is up there with the best too🤘

Hi Alanna, it's "so to speak" that you were looking for.
Great video by the way.
Mrs Brown's Boys should be sent for trial at The Hague for crimes against humanity.
I really like listening to you discussing stuff. BTW, The Chase is now (as of 2021 season) on ABC in U.S. as an Americanized version. I also saw The Chase when I visited Britain a few years back and totally agree that it is a great show. I have never seen Mock the Week, but would it be similar to CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes (which is a comedic look at the week's news & issues).
Have you seen QI? I would recommend that one!
If you like crime/mystery with a bit of comedy and riddles. You should try Jonathan Creek.
One of my current favourites is The Repair Shop. Therapeutic, jaw dropping and heart-warming all in one cosy package.
Immense gratitude for this nice channel.
You should give Red Dwarf a look. Though it started out a long time ago they make a new series every now and again and it's one of the few things that is still as funny as when it first started. There has also been a brand new feature length episode recently.
I agree with many of your choices, especially HIGNY and WILTY. I would also include comedy shows like The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show, etc.
yay i just started watching british panel shows so this is the perfect video thank u
After your last video when you mentioned "Would I Lie To You", I started watching the show from series 1. I'm a little more than 1/2 way through;. I'm just starting series 8. OMG. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. I don't even have a television set as I just don't like most of the crap that's on, but this Torontonian is hooked. I hope it's coming back for a series 14 :)
Ahhhh that's awesome!!
8 out of 10 cats does countdown?
It is hilarious.

Did you know she also wrote the screenplay for "No Time to Die," the new James Bond film.
the lunatic,but oh so charismatic assassin is a joy to watch.
when you hear her native tongue,its a right shock,its broad scouse !!
We have "The Chase" in the US as well. It's in reruns now, but it originally aired in 2009.
Good to see you looking much more chipper this week Alanna. My claim to fame is I haven't missed 1 episode of HIGNFY since it started. If you haven't watched porridge then you should in my humble opinion, stay safe.
Shooting Stars with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer is worth a look.
Also "House of Fools" with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer
There's a reaction video of Americans watching Shooting Stars. They don't get it. They just don't get it.
The US had their version of the Chase for a couple of years with Mark"The Beast" Labbett as the only Chaser and an ex Baywatch actress as host.
Adventures and Naps? hahahaha What an imaginative name. I subscribe! :D
I am an American who has a huge love for British tv shows. Have ever since I was a little kid. Some of my most favorite British tv shows are:
Keeping Up Appearances
Are You Being Served?
Monty Python
Fawlty Towers
The Vicar Of Dibley
Rosemary And Thyme
My Family (I bought the entire box set of that really funny show.)
Last of the Summer Wine
Waiting For God
and Doctor Who
As for Doctor Who I am a huge massive fan of that show. I think it is the most greatest British tv show ever made.
Fresh Meat. It's great. Also The Detectorists. It's been mentioned in other comments. It's very whimsical, gentle humour, so well written and acted. It's set in rural Essex so it will look very familiar to you if you've been living in the Kent countryside. Also, I've met Bob Mortimer, you'll be pleased to know he's very sweet and down to earth and exactly like he is on the telly.
I bet you would LOVE Green Wing.
IT Crowd, IQ, Would I lie to you?, Man Down, Big Fat Quiz of the Year, all of the "Mitchell and Webb" comedy series, Taskmaster
That outtro music was pretty cool.. 😁
Agree with you over and over, I saw Mock the Week when in UK (I'm in Australia) LOVE IT. Yes, Bob Mortimer is one of the best. Brit comedy is intelligent, many of the best are highly educated people.
Cancel it and don't come back to TV.
Our best comedy doesn't demur from insulting or taking the pee out of theirselves our nation, Americans would find that difficult!
I can't believe you haven't included Gogglebox 😱 I also found it hilarious you're watching old re-runs of Bullseye 🤣 I haven't watched that since the eighties "stay out of the black, go into the red, there's nothing in this game for two in a bed" yet I still remember that saying!!
I have stumbled across your videos today but I had to subscribe when you spoke of your love of Would I Lie To You? and Taskmaster... and especially Bob Mortimer... (he is my hero...) ...so... I think your list is solid. 😀
Great vid. You do make me laugh.
"Life on Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes" are awesome British cop shows.
Life on Mars was the Better of the two. So much so they're talking about making another series of it, not a continuation like Ashes to Ashes was.
I was going to mention them (especially Life on Mars) but wasn't sure if it would be so popular now. Fantastic series. Brilliant.
Sam Tyler : "An overweight, over-the-hill, nicotine-stained, borderline-alcoholic homophobe with a superiority complex and an unhealthy obsession with male bonding". Gene Hunt : "You make that sound like a *bad* thing!"
Loved "Life On Mars" and "Ashes To Ashes" . But I think you should check out the original ie " The Sweeney" and you will see were the idea of 70s policing in Life On Mars came from .
Thankyou, finally someone else who can't stand soaps, I thought I was alone,virtually everyone I know likes at least one British soap opera, wisdom comes through you tube,at last.
The Would I lie to you Kevin Bridges "horse story" is absolutely hilarious!
The story with Bob Mortimer and the egg in Chris Rea bath is one of my favourite TV moments. Hilarious!
Bullseye 😂😂😂😂 That's brilliant!! Well done you.
Omg I actually buzzed like mad when you mentioned Father Ted it’s my favorite show of all time it’s just amazing and funny and yes I’m one of them annoying people who tells everyone to watch it aha sorry 😂😂 there’s other great sitcoms out there like the inbetweeners (goes without saying) Bad Education, The Royle Family, The Office, Friday Night Dinner and Gavin and Stacey but yeah for me Father Ted trumps all of them aha great video again Larns, your delivery style is fantastic and you yourself would be great on tv, your sense of humour is just brilliant please keep going 😊
You sir have impeccable taste Cheers
Down with this sort of thing
"Would I Lie to You?" is a panel show. There are a lot of panel shows in the British Isles.
'Would I Lie To You' is fabulous. Lee Mack is so quick! We have a lot of awful TV, but we also have great comedy and dramas. Pleased you have appreciated some of them.
The highlight of my week has arrived 😂. How are you today Alanna?
Pretty good, thank you!
Happy to hear it 😊
Don't creep too much get in the queue haha
John sweda I’m not a creep mate, I’m just saying I enjoy her content. And besides, I’m into dudes anyway
@@Comic3247 ok mate...
"You guys have a very long history of television" - the longest in fact. For better and for worse...
You have great taste, Mock the Week, Killing Eve, WILTY, Bob Mortimer, the things that make life worthwhile, great! Nice to see good things being appreciated!
Ok you missed off the "let's go" really love that. No soap opera's - excellent. Definition of a soap opera - singing done whilst in the bath. 😁 I can't comment on your selection as its personal to you one I like is Only Connect. However the one I really like is actually Canadian - Murdoch Mysteries- any thoughts?
I love Canadian people after watching this video😂 glad you get our humour
If you like Comedy type stuff give 'Red Dwarf' and 'Only Fools and Horses' a try. Also a couple of my all time favourites are 'Peep Show' and 'The Inbetweeners'.
I've been binge watching a lot of mid 00s brit comedy. Usually the same group of comedians- mighty boosh, peep show, snuff box, that mitchell and Webb look, it crowd etc
Hi. I too enjoy wilty. Lee Mack is great on there. Have you seen Not Going Out? If not, I'm sure you would like that too x
