[TV] Mockumentaries

Really enjoyed, This Country, and now getting stuck into Cunk on Britain.

Any others I should be looking out for?

Cunk On Christmas was absolutely hilarious !

Still working through This Country on Iplayer. Very well observed stuff, very funny.

People just do nothing.

People just do nothing.

Will have a look at that, cheers.

 

[Easy 10]

You've just named the two ones I've been enjoying. Both utterly brilliant. Just superb writing.

Personally I loved the office. This is a chalk and cheese show however, half my friends and family absolutely hated it.

Not sure where you'll find it now, maybe even YouTube but I really love this filmed called Kenny which is a mockumentary about a portaloo attendant in Australia...it is both hilarious and extremely hear warming.

Also another recommendation for People Just do Nothing. If you can get over how they ape a lot of Gervais mannerisms it is excellent.

Summer Heights High

Loved that! Chris Lilley is a genius!

I remember the very first time I stumbled across it. Watching the Ja`ime character it took me a little while to suss what was going on

A few years back now and if you haven't watched it already, get the DVD of BBC's The Thick Of It, portraying incompetence, bullying and general chaos within a government department. Brilliant.

It's not aimed at any real life political party. But the bully is a parody of spin doctor Alaistair Campbell.

Just looked at a trailer for Waiting for Guffman. I like the look of that!

I wonder if Chris Lilley took his inspiration for Mr G from that film?

All of Christopher Guest's films are wonderful - Guffman, Mighty Wind, For Your consideration and Mascots with my favourite being Best in show. His series - Family tree was good too. And, like Spinal Tap they get better with age and repeated viewings.
Edit: just seen Surrey_albion has said much the same thing.

Not quite a moc-doc but The Young Offenders on BBC3 is superb.

We made this a couple of months ago. Won't be everyone's cup of tea! Password - alcr

I'm gonna say it:-

Best in Show is better than Spinal Tap (just)

Marion and Geoff - great series, must be 15 years ago?
