Good British comedy

  • People seem to be ignoring your request for newer TV shows lol. Not sure if they're on britbox but here are my recs:

    • Stath Lets Flats: Sort of a modern The Office set in a flat rental agency. Genuinely hilarious.

    • Fleabag: You probably know this already but do try it if not. Funny, explicit, poignant.

    • This Way Up: Similar vibes to Fleabag but verging more into sadcom than right out comedy.

    • Catastrophe: About a couple who get together after a one night stand leads to pregnancy. Stars Sharon Horgan who's also in This Way Up.

    • Black Ops: Light-hearted comedy about institutional racism in the London police. Bit over the top but enjoyable.

    • We Are Lady Parts: About a group of Muslim girls who form a punk band.

    • Ghosts (UK version): Couple move into an old house that turns out to be haunted by ghosts. Warm-hearted but still funny.

    • Derry Girls: Group of teenage friends growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Funny and moving.

    Comedies I haven't watched but have heard good things about: Big Boys, Alma's Not Normal, Raised by Wolves, The Outlaws, This Is Going to Hurt, Motherland

    xkcd #3022: Making Tea

  • Ha, my sister lives in Germany and the weirdest thing she finds about German tea habits is that they only drink tea in winter, which I guess is kind of on a par with being sick. In the UK tea is a constant but in Germany it seems to be more of a special circumstances thing (illness, cold weather...). Even the person my sister buys her tea from shuts up shop in the summer because there's no market for it.
