My Favourite TV Shows And Programmes, TV Chat

I have so many favourite TV shows. I have so many favourite TV shows from the 70s, there are some TV shows that I like from the 80s, 90s, 2000s and some from nowadays as well . I spend half my time watching TV shows, whether it’s reality or fiction, such as dramas and comedies . So I think it’s about time I shared my favourite TV shows with you, so sit back, grab a snack, grab a drink, get comfortable and enjoy .

This Country is one of my most favourite TV shows of all time . I absolutely love This Country . If you don’t know what it’s about, basically, This Country is about these two people, called Kerry and Kurtan, they are cousins and they live in the Cotswolds . They have very little to do . It’s a mocumentary following their daily lives living in a rural area . When I first saw this show, I immediately thought that it was real, like I thought that it was a real documentary, I didn’t think it was a TV show . It just looks so real, like anyone who lives in a village or the Cotswolds, acts like that and they all just go slightly mad . This Country is so funny, I honestly haven’t laughed that much for a very long time . When I first discovered this show, it was on TV and I was like ” What is this shit, is this real, it’s just two people sitting around, doing nothing ”, I thought it was shit, but then we all sat down and watched it from the very first episode and I just loved it . I love how Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper based the show on real life experiences, like they grew up with those sorts of people and grew up in those sorts of places, it’s all real, that’s why I love it . You stick to what you know, that’s what makes comedy so great. My favourite episodes have to be Oven Space, King Of The Nerds, Steam Fair, The Scarecrow Festival, Kurtan’s Half Brother, Mandy, Peeping Tom and many more . Mandy is demented, isn’t she, she is a phycho . The inspiration for Mandy’s character is also really clever, I liked that a lot . We never got to see Uncle Nugget, haha, cause he pulled out a samurai sword in Tesco Metro, but we have to remember that he was only having a laugh, he was only having a laugh, haha, Justice For Uncle Nugget, haha . This Country always puts a smile on my face, it always makes me laugh . There’s some really sad bits in this show, like the part where Kurtan was talking about how they were poor and they had no money, that was actually real, they struggled with money in real life, that’s awful, I honestly don’t know how both of them made it through such a tough time like that, they are amazing . Both of them are such an inspiration to me, they had a tough time trying to get This Country out there, but they kept going and going and going, until they got to where they wanted to be . I wish nothing but happiness for them two, they’ve come such a long way . The Vicar is one of my favourite characters from this show. He’s the normal one but he’s also a bit mad, Kurtan and Kerry’s just driving him crazy and he’s just slowly going mad . The Vicar is absolutely brilliant . All the characters are brilliant, but I think the vicar is great . This Country is my comfort show, whenever I’m feeling down, I just put on an episode of This Country and I just start laughing . I could easily watch 10 episodes of This Country in one go, without fail, it’s so good . British Humor is just superior, you can’t beat it . Kerry’s mum is bloody brilliant. You don’t see her but you can hear her somewhere in the back round. She is super funny, she had some really hilarious moments . Daisy May Cooper does the voice for her mum, Daisy May Cooper is a woman of many talents, I love her so much .

I have Daisy May Cooper’s biography, it’s called Don’t Laugh, It Will Only Encourage Her . My parents got it for me for Christmas. I absolutely love it, there are some really funny stories in it, plus some really sad stories, it just tells you about her life growing up. You go on a journey with her, so many ups and downs, and you sort of see her get to where she wanted to be. The book was so well written, the stories are brilliant, I was laughing a lot . She’s so funny and how she says things is just fantastic . I ended up reading the book five times, that’s how great it was, it was such a joy to read . I did a book post on my blog talking about this so if you haven’t already seen it, check it out. Daisy May Cooper deserves as much success and happiness as possible, she’s been through so much, I wish her nothing but the best in the future .

This Country will always be one of my favourite TV shows . The characters are brilliant, it’s so funny, they just went all out on this, they really did . The episode where Mandy goes to Book Club is absolutely hilarious, her stories are so funny, you could just see that the Vicar was trying so hard not to laugh during those scenes . The Rob Robinson episode is great as well, it’s the one where Kurtan fixates over an old mate from school . That’s one of me and dad’s favourite episodes . Kerry and Kurtan are unbelievably thick, like they just don’t know where they are, you actually come across people like that in those sorts of places . The Vicar’s Son is another one of my favourite episodes . Series 1 was great, series 2 was brilliant, as well as series 3, they are all amazing . Kurtan is one of my favourite characters, he’s great, he’s a bit stuck up though. Why does he look like Gareth from The Office, haha, they look so identical . I think I’m not the only one who thinks this. I also brought the This Country book. I read it a few times, it’s really good . There’s some really hilarious stuff in there, it’s worth the read, if you’re a big fan of This Country like I am, then I totally recommend you get the book, it’s amazing . I can go on about This Country forever, but I think I should move on with the post . But let me know if you want me to talk more about This Country, I’ll do a post on that .

People Just Do Nothing is another one of my favourite TV shows . People Just Do Nothing is just brilliant . If you don’t know what it’s about, basically, it’s about these guys who own a local pirate radio station called Kurupt FM . This show is just genius . The characters are brilliant, the writing is great, it’s so funny, it’s just amazing . I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking ” What is this ?, who are these geezers ?, what are they doing ?”, and I thought it was crap, but when we watched it, I was obsessed with it . It’s so funny . My favourite episodes are, Secret Location, The Wedding, The Godfather, Angel’s Birthday, Competition, The Website, Car Boot, The Music Video and many more . This show just looks so real, like the characters are so well done . It’s crazy how Kurupt FM is actually real, they make music together, which I think is so cool. They have talent and they’re so good at what they do, it’s not like they do it for the programme, it’s in real life as well, so that’s pretty cool . The characters are brilliant. Grindah is great, Chabuddy is brilliant, Steves is one of my favourite characters from the show, his mind is completely gone from smoking weed but his heart is in the right place . Miche is so thick, she’s unbeliebably thick, and you actually come across those sorts of people, that’s the scariest thing about it . People Just Do Nothing is a kind of show that no matter how many times you watch it, you won’t get tired of it . Me, my dad and my brother have watched all the episodes from start to finish, all over and over again and it’s still amazing . The characters just make the show . Who ever thought of the character Chabuddy is an absolute genius . I don’t even think any of the actors are acting, I can just tell that some of them are already like that in real life, that they don’t even need to act.

One of my favourite scenes from the episode, The Website is the bit where everyone in Kurupt FM lets Chabudds do his own radio set . That scene is so funny. When he starts playing like Bollywood music and he’s dancing and you could just see everyone just done with everything, Deacoy is just trying so hard not to laugh, whilst Grindah is thinking ” What is this shit ?”, it’s so hilarious, that scene is so funny . And the bit where Grindah and Beats have to go and do some wedding, then Deacoy comes back home, then you could just see Steves and Chabudds just jumping everywhere and just totally out of their minds whilst that gabba music is playing in the back round, that bit’s even funnier, especially because you’re just not expecting it, makes it 10 times better . It’s such a good touch . The last episode made me so emotional, it was such a great way to end the series . Following up to the film, seeing all of them just moving on, they all have jobs, Grindah’s working at the post office, delivering letters to people’s houses as a post man, Beats is working at a bowling alley and his son is his manager, haha, that bit was so funny . Cause you’re expecting Beats to be his manager but Craig is his dad’s manager instead, it’s just brilliant  . The film was great. If you don’t know what it’s called, it’s called Big In Japan . If you’re a big fan of People Just Do Nothing like I am, I totally recommend you to watch it, cause it’s so good, it’s super funny . Another thing that I loved in the show is Chabuddy’s relationship with Aldona . That was so funny . Especially cause she just kept running away then coming back, Aldona, what a parasite, haha. I need to get an update on what Aldona is doing and if they’re still seeing each other, haha, I doubt it . Chabuddy and Aldona’s relationship was a great touch to the show . The characters in this programme are so brilliant . It’s really funny . It just looks like a real documentary . Me and my family are big fans of this show . It’s just so amazing . At some point, I’m gonna have to go back and watch all of them again, from start to finish, it’s so good . I think this is the sort of British Humor that not everyone would understand and find funny. You would have to grow up in those sorts of places to get this sort of humor . Deacoy is probably one of the most normal ones out of all of them . He’s just normal and he’s really nice and easy going . Meanwhile, he’s just thinking ” Why am I friends with these idiots ?”, like he’s just losing his will to live, it’s so funny . The bits where they just stare at the camera are the funniest, cause you could just see it in their eyes, that they are just done with life, haha. People Just Do Nothing is such a genius show . I love how all the cast members just write their own lines and stuff, like Asim Chaudry, the guy that plays Chabuddy, you can tell that he writes half of it up, you would have to be mad enough to come up with all that stuff, it’s just brilliant . Me and my brother just quote half of the quotes and lines in our day to day lives . The actors and actresses who are in this show are so talented and so amazing, I wish them nothing but the best . I really wanna see them act in more films and TV shows, I wish them nothing but success, cause they all deserve it, they’ve all done so well . People Just Do Nothing was such a joy to watch . It’s so funny and so well written . I hope it gets another series, they were discussing on doing a 6th series, I hope the rumors were true, but if it’s not, then it’s alright, but I really hope we get another series . It’s one of my all time favourite shows . If you haven’t seen it yet, go and watch it, cause it’s amazing .

The Thick Of It is another one of my all time favourite TV shows . The Thick Of It is a show about politics, it just follows the every day lives of people who work in the government and parliament . This show is so funny . It’s so real as well, especially with everything that’s going on in politics today, it’s accurate as ever . Everyone just hates each other . I wouldn’t be surprised if that sort of thing actually happens behind closed doors . Everyone in the show just presents every single person in the government . I think all the actors and actresses just got it completely spot on. Malcom Tucker is demented . Just some mad Scottish man. Just swears all the time . He has the best cusses. ” Hey, Yoko Ono and the two remaining Beatles, piss off ”, is one of my all time favourite Malcom Tucker quotes . Malcom Tucker is supposed to be one of the spin doctors . This programme is so hilarious, I totally forgot how funny it was . I love how most of it wasn’t even scripted, it was improvised by some of the cast members . You would have be mad enough to dream up half of those quotes, absolutely genius . Peter Capaldi is such a good actor . I feel like he only plays demented characters . Well, he played Bumble in The Personal History Of David Copperfield, that was pretty much the only normal character he’s ever played . He was also in Doctor Who, he was the twelfth doctor . His character in The Thick Of It is so different compared to his character in Doctor Who, it’s like the same thing, they’re both mad . My sister introduced me to this show a few years ago and we put on the very first episode and from then on, I was obsessed with it . It’s so well written, the characters are just brilliant, some of them are total gits . Parliament and the government are full of gits, some of them are fine and some of them are gits, that’s just how it is . I have so many favourite episodes . I can’t choose a favourite, since all of them are really good . They also made a film. It’s called In The Loop. In The Loop is such a good film . All the original cast is in it. It’s weird though, cause like, it’s a contrast of everyone from The Thick Of It, mixed with a bunch of Americans, like the generals and stuff like that . I think it was good how they did it . It was really funny . Another thing that I found quite strange, was that half the characters all had different names, like Ollie had a different name, stuff like that . This show had many demented and mad characters . They all had some really funny moments . Steve Flemming was demented and highly strung, his performance was absolutely terrifying . The actor who played him was brilliant . Steve can go from calm to really demented and look like he’s gonna punch someone in the face, it can go from 0 to 100 real quick . This show has so many iconic lines and quotes . So many great actors and actresses . Adam and Fergus is one of my all time favourite character duos from this show . They had so many funny moments . Seeing Ben Willbond swear was very unusual to me. I pretty much grew up with Horrible Histories and seeing him swear was shocking . But actors can just do what they want, they do other things other then just a kids show . So some people who grew up seeing Ben in Horrible Histories and it being very PG, they’re like ” Oh my god, Ben just swore, my childhood is doomed ”, but I’m not gonna be like that because I’m just used to seeing actors do their thing, at least they didn’t put anything like that in Horrible Histories so it’s all good . I just love this show so much . It’s just too accurate. Especially with everything that’s going on in politics today, it’s just pure satire . I totally recommend you watch this show cause it’s so funny .

Stath Lets Flats is another one of my all time favourite TV shows . Stath Lets Flats is a show about these letting agents . It follows this character and his name is Stath and he is a Greek letting agent . I just love this show, it’s so funny . It’s so cringy and very painful to watch but it’s so good . Stath is just a very awkward person . I remember seeing the show when it first aired . I remember seeing it and thinking ” What is this ?, it looks like shit ”, but then we watched more of it and that was when I fell in love with it . I loved the first season, I also loved series 2 and the last season, all of them are just brilliant . Stath’s sister is just brilliant, she’s so thick and dumb but she’s just great . Some great acting there from Natasia Dementriou, who is actually Jamie Dementriou’s real life sister as well, I guess the talent just runs in the family .This series has so many brilliant moments, great characters . It was just so well thought out . One of my favourite scenes from series 3 is the one from the last episode and it’s the one where they find a tape that they made in the family and then they put it on and then it just shows Stath coming in with a wig and he had long hair . That bit was hilarious . I was so sad when it ended, but I’m so happy that I can go back and watch all of them again . My favourite characters are Stath, Sophie, Dean and Al, those characters are just brilliant . Dean is just brilliant, he’s just constantly done with everyone’s shit, he’s so funny and so relatable . One of my favourite Dean moments is when he he turns up at American Lets company and chucks rice and then he realizes that it’s the wrong place and he just drives off, that scene is hilarious . Pretty much any scene with Dean is gonna be iconic and really funny . Al is another one of my favourite characters . He’s probably one of the most normal ones out of all of them, I really liked him and Sophie’s relationship, I thought it was adorable . They were really good friends . This show has so many iconic quotes, I quote them sometimes . I’m so glad this show one an award, or at least Jamie won an award, it’s so well deserved . I’m kind of vexxed that Natasia didn’t win anything, but I’m so happy that Jamie won something because he was great in this show . I’m so glad that I discovered this show, cause it’s just so good, one of the best British comedy shows ever made, that’s for sure . I could talk about this show forever but this segment is gonna be so long so I’ll just leave it here, but yeah, I totally recommend you to watch this show, cause it’s so funny, it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a show, great characters, funny storylines, funny scenes, hilarious montages, everything, it’s just amazing . Another thing I loved was Sophie and Kesha’s music and film stuff . Those things were so cringy, every time they sang, basically, but I just loved it . There was an episode in the last series where Sophie and her friend made this film and it was so bad, I honestly had no idea what that was, it was so terrible but it was so funny, I just couldn’t stop laughing, absolutely brilliant . Stath Let’s Flats was such a joy to watch, it filled us with joy . It’s so sad that we’re not getting any more seasons . This show was great .

Ghosts is another one of my all time favourite TV shows . Ghosts is just incredible . If anyone hasn’t seen it or if they’re new to the show, basically, it’s about this couple who move into this house and they settle in, but there’s only one problem, the house is infested with ghosts . Ghosts is such an amazing show. It’s full of memorable quotes, funny scenes. It’s also very emotional. I cried a few times whilst watching the show. The show does a good job of tugging on your heartstrings . It’s such a heartwarming show . I love all the characters. I love Horrible Histories, I practically grew up with the show and it’s cast . It’s the same cast. They’re all so amazing . They are great actors and actresses. I really love their on and off set chemistry . They have so much fun working together which is just so nice to see . The show was just a 100 % TV magic . I’ve grown so close to Thomas, I just really love him . All the characters are amazing . It’s so well written . It made me love the cast of Horrible Histories even more  . It’s nice to see them doing more stuff .

By the time the show ended, My heart felt a bit empty . It felt just like all the ghosts were my friends and family . The show does a really good job of making you like the characters . This show’s just so ridiculous and so funny, but it can also be really sad too . In every episode of season 2 and season 3, you begin to find out how they all died and it’s just so emotional and so beautiful how they did it . This show was just absolutely perfect . One of the best shows to ever come out of the BBC in such a long time . I’m definetely going to watch them all over again . It’s just been such a joy to watch . I really do hope they make a series 4, if they do, then it’s gonna make my year even better . If you haven’t already seen it, go and watch it, cause it’s amazing .

The IT Crowd is another one of my favourite TV shows . The IT Crowd is absolutely brilliant . Graham Linehan is an absolute genius . The running gags in that show, por, they’re bloody brilliant . It’s one of the best shows to ever come out in the 2000s . If you’re not familiar with the show, basically, The IT Crowd is about these layabouts who work in an IT department. Their names are Moss, Roy And Jen . They don’t really do any work, they just slack off and do absolutely nothing with their time . I absolutely love The IT Crowd, like it’s so funny . I love the characters . Moss and Jen are my favourite characters . Roy is brilliant as well but he’s kind of an idiot . Jen is kind of normal but she’s  a bit mad as well, Moss is a nerd .

This show has so many memorable moments . Like when they go to the Theatre and Roy gets stuck in a disabled toilets and he gets mistaken for being disabled and just makes a whole scene out of it . That scene was hilarious . Just the look on Jen’s face when she turns around and sees Roy in the wheel chair, absolutely brilliant . There’s also another thing that happened in the same episode . That episode is called The Work Outing . The Work Outing has to be one of my most favourite episodes . Soley because it’s just full of chaos, mad things happen one after the other, things don’t exactly go to plan . The Gay musical thing is brilliant as well. Just all those scenes where they’re in the theatre watching the musical. That’s like the worst musical ever made . When they first look at the poster and Moss says ” Oh no, it’s set in the 80s ”, that was so funny  . I was like ” Moss, what do you expect, it takes place in the past, it has nothing to do with the present ”, haha . Moss is just classic . Such a great sitcom.

Outnumbered is another one of my favourite British Sitcoms . It’s just so funny. You just follow the lives of this very chaotic, nightmarish family. This show has so many memorable moments. Karen is my favourite character, I love her, she’s so funny, like her comedic timing is perfect, always comes in with a hilarious line . I discovered this show a few years ago and I just completely fell in love with it, such a good show, really made me laugh so many times, it’s definetely up there with all the rest of my favourite TV shows .

The Office is another one of my favourite TV shows . I just really love this show. I know that there’s an American version as well and honestly, I love the American one as well but the original will always be better, but there’s no competition there, both versions are really good in their own ways . I think I came across this show and I completely fell in love with it. I finished the first series within a week and I just loved it so I’m going to start watching the second series very soon. Ricky Gervais as David Brent is absolutely fantastic, David Brent is absolutely nuts, he has no filter and I love it. You know you’re in trouble whenever you see David pull out his guitar, haha, brilliant. But yeah no, I love The Office, such a good show. And it’s a different type of humour, so not everyone’s going to understand it, I think that’s what makes it good.

The Wrong Mans is another one of my favourite TV shows. Oh my god, this show is absolutely amazing, it’s so chaotic, I love it. I feel like Sam was just miserable in his job in the council and I feel like getting sucked into this thing was the only exciting thing in his life, cause it is exciting but at the same time it’s also really dangerous . Sam and Phil’s chemistry is fantastic. And also, Matthew Baynton is in this, I love him, he was great in this show but also James Corden was great as well, they were both great.  This show is so short, there’s only like six episodes and each is only like 20 minutes long but the journey you go on, it’s amazing. It’s so funny as well, just a well written show . I’m so glad I discovered this show and I got my family hooked on this show. I kind of have the job of finding shows, watching them and if I love them then I introduce them to my family. It’s also the same with You Me and The Apocolypse as well. The Wrong Mans is so underrated, such a hidden gem for sure. If you love chaos and crime and comedy then this show is for you, it’s absolutely amazing .

Inside no 9 is another one of my favourite shows. I just love Inside No 9, like I can’t get enough of this show. I love all the stories, I find them so interesting, every episode is written so well. Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are comedy geniuses . I watched the first episode of season 1 and I really loved it. I finished the first series within a week and now I’m on series 4. I’m having so much fun with this show, it’s so demented and weird, I love it. My all time favourite episode is The Twelve Days Of Christine, that episode shattered me in hundreds of pieces, so beautiful. There are no dry eyes whenever I watch that episode, so beautifully written. I just love how this show is so unexpected and unpredictable and the twist, it hits you when you’re not expecting it at all. So awesome, I just love Inside no 9. I love the mix of dark comedy and drama. Maybe it’s time I introduced my family to this show. I also love some of their other shows like League Of Gentlemen and Psychoville, they’re so creative with their writing and their ideas, I find their work so inspiring . If any of you like dark comedy, you’ll love this.

Derek is another one of my favourite shows. Derek is a show I started watching a few weeks ago and I completely fell in love with it. Love the characters, everything about this show is amazing. Ricky Gervais completely nails the drama and comedy in his shows. This show me laugh, this show made me cry, I just love this so much . I recently finished watching Afterlife and I really loved it so I decided to give Derek a go and I came away from this show, absolutely blown away by it. This is my go to show if I need a good cry. You’ll be laughing one minute and then you’ll be crying the next, absolute hidden gem. Everyone needs to watch this at least once. Karl’s character is so funny, he’s just given up on life. But yeah, I love this show, I’m on series 2 now.

Phone Shop is another one of my favourite TV shows. It’s just so so funny, the characters are great. It’s just these layabouts who work in a phone shop. I’m so glad I discovered this show, it’s an absolute gem. Ashley and Jermaine are my favourite characters but Christopher, Lance and Janine are brilliant as well. Those characters are what makes this series so amazing . Every episode just makes me laugh to the point where my stomach hurts. Such a great concept for a show. I totally recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a new show to binge watch.

We Are Lady Parts is another one of my favourite shows. This show is just incredible. We Are Lady Parts is a comedy series about this Muslim female punk band. This show came out on Channel 4 a little while ago and I had no idea what this show even was. I finished this series a few weeks ago and I completely fell in love with it. The characters are amazing, it’s funny, it’s emotional, it’s touching, it’s just absolutely awesome . Just everyone in this band is a complete nutter but they have a very vunerable side to them and that’s why I love it. This was a great six part series. I also love it because it’s music themed, it reminds me of Spinal Tap a little bit. It’s a really good concept for a show too. This is like nothing we’ve seen before. You just go on a journey with these amazing girls . And I love punk music as well so that added on to my love of this show. I totally recommend this show to everyone, I had so much fun watching this show. And the music is great too, all the songs were great. So yeah, We Are Lady Parts is fantastic. Can’t wait for Season 2.

I have so many more favourite shows but I feel that if I keep talking then I’ll just be rambling on and on and on, so thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you liked it. If you haven’t already seen these shows, I totally recommend them. I have so many favourite TV shows and the list goes on forever, but these are some of my favourites . I think that one day I might write a post, talking about my favourite shows from the 70s and 80s, since I have so many. Let me know if you these too. I hope you have a wonderful day, love you guys
