[TV] BBC comedy - This Country

[Munkfish]

Solid Start to the third series, Kerry working at the tip was funny.

 

[Superphil]

Really enjoy this comedy so I’m glad there’s a third series. Very sad about Michael “slug” Seggs. He had an extraordinary life, albeit very short.

Thought they dealt with it with great heart, and humour.

 

[Mellotron]

Kerry really is a bellend, isn't she?

Great show. So warm, so mundane, so funny.

 

[Easy 10]

A rarity on NSC - unanimous praise. And well deserved. I'd have this right up there with my own platinum collection of Partridge, Fawlty Towers, The Office, Detectorists and The Thick of It. The BBC is so damn good at comedy, aside from the bafflingly popular dreck that is MBB.

I had never watched it before, seen nothing more than clips and thought it looked quite funny, so this thread prompted me to check it out and I binged watched the first two seasons during the week. What a brilliantly written show, it's makes you care about Kurtan and Kerry even though they can be massive cockwombles. Kerry's relationship with her Dad can really tug at the heart strings, the soda stream moment in series two was incredibly heart warming. They sent Sluggs off in the right way too.

If I had one minor criticism it would be that sometimes Kurtan is a bit too much like a country side version of Gareth Keenan.

First time I have seen this thread.

To be honest was dreading that everyone would be slating this off as my wife and myself think it is great. However, thought it may only appeal to our strange sense of humour but everyone loves it. Wonderful TV.

Good to see him taking it in good humour. A brilliant series.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

"Pinging back and forth between me and that bloody woman, like flubber from the film Flubber"

 

[Bry Nylon]

Sublime episode last night. Can it get any better?

 

[Easy 10]

"Her pubes looked just like the 'airs on a turnip"

 

[darters74]

Clunk click...……….suck my dik

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I don't recall the exact words but Kurtan's explanation of the difference between a chat and a natter was superb.

 

[Wellesley]

The perfect comedy in my opinion. If anything, so far this series is even better.

 

[The Clamp]

I shall miss this very much.

This, all over for me.
Will have to give this series another try but that was my overriding opinion after watching the first few episodes

 

[ozzygull]

it's a program that I thought I would not find funny, but it is fantastic, hilarious and very well done.

 

[The Clamp]

Apart from a slight physical resemblance, I really don’t see the resemblance to Gareth. Gareth was thoroughly unlikeable, out for himself at the expense of others, desperate to be popular, with no redeeming features. Kurtans is kind, does things to help others, very likeable and childlike and does his own thing, doesn’t care about being important or popular.

Kurtans is likeable. Gareth is a loathesome tw@.

Lazy comparison because of his looks and accent.

The far better comparison is with Crook’s character in the Detectorists............

 

[Hiney]

Haven't watched last night's yet but this show is BRILLIANT.

From last week:

"Parsnip pubes"

Again, no. Crooks character is intelligent, learned with a girlfriend and goals in life.

The two actors look a little alike. That’s it.
