British as Folk

Watched the first episode of this the other day and it's great!! Fern, Darren and Ivo are so funny and likeable and the whole show was interesting, educational and hilarious! Cant wait to watch more. Cheers Dave for all your brillaint original comedy.

I thought this would be an interesting travelogue around Wales (episode 2).

Instead it is an inane, ego trip by 3 people I have never even seen on TV before. If it's supposed to be comedy, it's not even funny. One of the most awful things I've ever seen on television.

Some talentless "comedians" go where the BBC staff tell them is "hip" in Glasgow, not Scotland, just Glasgow with a half hour drive out to the countryside for a section.

This is about as cringey as watching your dad dance at a wedding.

The Glasgow (not scotland) episode had such glaswegian events as "handling a eagle" "getting a haircut" and "getting harassed by by schoolkids" unfortunately it didn't have traditionally Scottish events as "fight on a bus" or "Junkie pukes on the road" This is such a preveliged view of Scotland it ould look fake on a shortbread tin and could kick start a new form of communism against comedians rather than capitalism.

Was enjoyable from start to finish! Darren even made eggs interesting and overall the show gave a great snapshot to life in Leicester. Not too serious, but enough to give it some purpose, yet stayed fast paced and funny. 10/10! Looking forward to more.
