American Reacts to Confusing British TV Shows

- As an avid consumer of media, I am very interested to react and learn about this list of British TV shows that Americans apparently do not understand. Living in the United States I certainly have not been exposed to much British media, and certainly not strange ones. So I believe that this video will be very interesting, to say the least. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
I remember watching midsomer murders with my mum it's not something I ever plan to watch but when you start an episode you can't stop I still watch it now occasionally
Detectorists is a masterpiece of TV. It’s beautifully acted and filmed. It can make a quite ordinary field and a few trees look mystically beautiful. It’s written by and stars Mackenzie Crook who has followed it up with a superb series of films of Wurzel Gummidge where he plays a scarecrow - also a beautifully filmed series in rural settings.
detectorists one of the best series i ever seen comedy or otherwise.
All of the shows shown are popular but I must say the detectorists is really funny. Dry subtle comedy and well written but heart warming.
That’s the only one I’ve never even heard of and I’m British
@@definitelynotatroll246 it was on BBC 3 or 4. Watch it, it's fantastic.
A lot of us grew up with Spitting Image, so Bo Selecta wasn’t that far fetched!
There's only one way to describe "The League of Gentleman" and that's bizarre. It is a blend of quite subtle but very dark humour, gore and plain nastiness, set in a village named after one of the UK's lewdest stand-up comics: Roy "Chubby" Brown. It's bloody brilliant!
He also appears in the show as the town's mayor.
And inside number 9 is also written and stars two of the cast ( and writers) of the league of Gentlemen but its more of a horror anthology show than a comedy they also created psycoville that guest stared the talented Daniel kaluuya ,the star of block buster movie Get out.
You'll never leave.
‘Detectorists’ is slow burn gentle comedy and is gold throughout. And the best news is that the DMDC are about to ride again in a one off special. ‘The League of Gentlemen’ is as dark as dark can be comedy/horror, a mixture of laugh out loud funny and watching through your fingers, shot through with a strange pathos. It would never have been made in the USA but watching an episode or two would tell you if it was for you. (I actually think it’s one of British TV’s high water marks). ‘Inside No.9’ is the Leagues natural heir, written and performed by two thirds (actually half to be accurate) of them. What’s not here and should be is any of the Reeves and Mortimer series, top for ‘what the hell am I watching?’ British comedy TV. Some would say it’s surreal but I think it’s more accurate to say it’s an ambitious mix of slapstick married to DaDaist art! And rolling on the floor funny once/if you get it!
Love R & M ! The dove from above ! Brilliant!👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
The detectorist stands out amongst all the other programmes reviewed funny as well as leaving you with a feel good feeling after watching. The last episode was genius when they found a small clay goblet which they didn't realise but after many clues which I think everybody watching missed 😂 until near the end it turned out to be the holy grail.
Not all Brits like toilet humour. Most prefer ironic subtle humour and satire..
Blue Peter is a British institution and there are many clips you should watch such as the elephant accident, John Noakes climbing Nelson's Column. The American comparison to Midsomer would be Cabot Cove (Murder she Wrote).
Yeah, blue peter is just a everything show. I don't even know how to explain it, but it was interesting, educational and fun. You kind of have to watch it and grow up with it to know.
Murder she wrote.. Colombo were top shows and were also part of British culture people I no still say yeah ok Colombo when someone is trying to make a conclusion about someone she done this then she met him and went there... Yeah ok Colombo you no fuck all your guessing m8 your not fucking Colombo
Britain has a lot of great shows Scrapheap Challenge, Robot Wars, Dads Army, Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Qi are some of my favorites growing up
I had to explain Red Dwarf to someone I dated. He was still lost. He also didn’t get the humour in the movie Up Pompeii. He is an ex now. I grew up on British humour and love the different levels. I have watched both the US and UK versions of the series Ghosts
What about Jeeves and Wooster?
Detectorists is the funniest, gently humorous show of the century. I've watched it several times and will probably watch it again and again. If you get the chance, watch it and stick with it.
In sailing terms, a ship about to leave port flies a flag representing the naval semaphore letter P, a blue square on a white background, called the Blue Peter. The phrase "outward bound" is also used to refer to children's outdoor activities such as the boy scouts would conduct.
Blue Peter was like a magazine programme for children which features all sorts of things as the narrator says.
I remember watching Blue Peter in the late 1960's and into the 1970's Valerie Singleton (What ever happened to her?) John "Get down Shep" Noakes and Peter Purvis. Loved it, Tuesdays and Thursdays on BBC1 @ 5:15PM....Happy days.
It's a pity they didn't show the clip with the baby elephant.
You can find it here. ua-cam.com/video/kz9omscQ1F4/v-deo.html
By far the best programmes, on the list is "Detectorists" its fabulous. in fact I've just re-watched the entire series.
and the amazing "League of Gentlemen"
it's fabulous!
Blue Peter is a magazine show, presenter did challenges, like parachuting, went to different countries for holidays and you learn about the holiday, made stuff, gardening, demonstration like karate, will have cub scouts, blue Peter appeals like clean water for a countries that don't have any.b
The US adaptation of Taskmaster flopped very quickly for a number of reasons. Its adaptations are strangely popular in scandinavian countries and increasingly so in New Zealand. The Detectorists was amazing, but the closest thing to the real world version is yet another show that deserves to be on the list: Time Team. Fly-on-the-wall documentation of the high-speed archaeology - absolutely captivating!
the american taskmaster not making it makes sense. i think american comedians are a bit too proud to humiliate themselves on tv for free. if the american version was like "win 10k for your charity of choice" then maybe it would've worked better. but with no reward, i can't see that many american comedians willing to make fools of themselves for some of those tasks
Agreeing with you about Time Team @GroupAmalgams. The presenters can be really annoying, but the archaeology is fascinating, albeit rather rushed, in order to fit the format of the show.
Scandis and Dutch have alot of cultural similarities to Britons
Detectorists is a masterpiece of television. For me it's the best TV show in the past 15 years and one of the best this century.
Miles better than Celebrity Juice
Blue Peter has been shown on BBC TV since the 1950's. Commercial TV tried to launch a competitor program called Magpie which focussed more on popular culture but it only lasted twelve years. Magpie did however have one lasting legacy in British culture in that it introduced UK children to Trick and Treating.
Not to mention singling along to the theme tune...
One for sorrow, two for joy...
Or.
Detectorists is not a reality TV show, it's a comedy show, largely about the lives of two good friends who spend their time metal detecting looking for whatever they can find, with the hopes of finding lost Saxon gold. It's an absolutely BRILLIANT series with some real comedic gems.
As for League of Gentlemen, all I have to say is: "Juliet Bravo! Juliet Bravo!" - an absolutely hilarious show!
If Oak Island can run for 10 seasons, then I think a show about metal detecting has a good chance of catching on.
If someone had described Detectorists to me I would never have watched it. For some reason I checked it out and was immediately drawn into its subdued humour. It's excellent.
Midsomer is the county in Midsomer Murders. It is televised around the world. Likes of Orlando Bloom, Henry Cavill have featured on the show.
And with an average of 2.7 murders per episode, how is anyone left?...Oh, wait, that's the joke
Johnny Depp's a huge fan of it !🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Taskmaster is hilarious. The difference between UK comedy and USA versions (like The Office) is that in the UK we love people doing things that don't go well for them, in fact are a bit of a loser. In the USA you don't really like failure, I think so find out comedies a bit painful at times.
Blue Peter also raised money for charity, through encouraging children to fundraise in their community or schools.
You should have a watch of Taskmaster, it's bloody great!
I think the thing about UK TV is that there's only so many actors, so once you're even close to good, you get a part on a show like Midsomer murders. They always need new people, so any actor that develops in the UK inevitably gets role.
Elton John.... looks like Nicola Sturgeon, just as, if not more scary, lol The Detectorist was a series that followed the ironic lives of two people and their club of metal detectors, was good. in Britain we have lots of interesting finds, Saxon and Roman finds, always chasing the dream.
Have you seen pictures of Nicola Sturgeons mum? She actually looks like Elton it’s hilarious
for some reason when i saw the creepy elton john i thought it was meant to be theresa may
Blue Peter was an educational programme dealing with Art Craft and Travel, it seems to have descended into some sort of noisey activity show going by the clips they showed here.
Sounds like you've just become old and boring.
Having a Blue Peter badge gives free admissions to some places.
I think there's some vintage stuff like Eurotrash and TFI Friday. But also stuff like Naked Attraction
Always thought TFI Friday stoke a fair bit from US chat shows.
I see your Naked Attraction & raise you Naked Jungle.
The clip from Blue Peter give a rather skewed impression of the show. It does do cooking, crafting, and fun stories- but its hallmark is more serious 'eductional' stuff- telling children about things that are happening in the world. Children have always been given the opportunity through the show to raise money (often by collecting and sending in things like used ring pulls from soda cans) for good causes around the world. It's also a platform for learning about new technologies, or other important cultural things.
If you have ever watched the US series Ghosts it started as a UK series that was a bit naughtier than the US version.
There's a few meanings to "Blue Peter" too...
• A blue signal flag with a white rectangle in the centre, signifying "P"
• Blue Peter is named after the blue and white flag hoisted when a ship is ready to set sail from port.
• When a man has had so much sex, his penis will not become erect anymore. This is referred to as having a "Blue Peter".
• and of course a children TV show started in 1958 (often live and with animals, crafts and general entertainment).
My dad loved this show so much and for nearly 15 years would often go ‘crraaiiggg David you coming down the pub?’ And I’d reply ‘no, not with you wearing those antlers!’ However I got so red faced when my dad did it in front of Craig David’s dad - we’ve now met Craig and his dad George always calls me princess because I’m spoilt, but he took a pair of EarPods from me so I’m not talking to him atm
Time Team was another show we Brits loved. With Tony Robinson hosting the show that took the show around Britain digging up the past. Also another comedy is the last of the summer wine started in 1973 and ended In 2010. It's about three retired men acting like children in a Yorkshire village
Does anyone else remember heartbeat? Just remember my mum watching it and listening that terrible theme tune every Sunday evening before school, even now that song sends shivers thru me
I still watch Heartbeat here in Canada on Saturday nights.
@@katyroseable haha nice, I’m sure it’s not a bad show, that theme tune just takes me back to those Sunday nights as a kid when you had that dreaded feeling of going to school in the morning
My mum used to watch Heartbeat and Hamish MacBeth too.
@@definitelynotatroll246 Heartbeat is still on TV - repeats are daily, on ITV3 at 12:25pm. Get watching! 😅
No Mighty Boosh?
Shooting Stars or anything involving Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer is quintisentially British surrealist and bizarre humour. Americans rarely get it, but tbh many Brits are perplexed by it too.
Yeah, I give them a miss.
They also did a series House of fools which was interesting.
Should have been on this list for sure
The sewing show is on American t.v. winners get a chance to have their collections bought and sold by a professional company. Bake off too. Midsummer Murders in Vision t.v.
A British sitcom which traversed the Pond well was Till Death Us Do Part, which became All In The Family in the US. The lead character in the original was the reactionary, racist, working-class bigot Alf Garnett, who became Archie Bunker in the US version. Carroll O'Connor played Archie from 1971 to 1983. Blue Peter has been running weekly for 66 years now. I was sent to school in England in 1958, and the show was already a staple. I got my Badge for some fundraising my classmates and I did back in 1961. I still have it in my nicknacks box!!
I am jealous. I was born in the same year as Blue Peter but never managed to get a Blue Peter badge... but I can knock together a cracking Tracy Island!
Midsommer Murders reminds me of Murder She Wrote - I mean people should just run when Jessica Fletcher turns up because someone's going to die. If you want to look into something that you probably do need to be British to get, look up 'Pantomimes' - a traditional Christmas theatre.
I think the list should have specified it's shows that have aired or are airing in like past 20 years, there are some better choices I think if you go back further. Yes Minister, Monty Python (tho I think more Americans get that one these days), Eurotrash, Last of the Summer Wine, one foot in the grave, Red Dwarf, etc. Mostly comedies.
Eurotrash lmao
Mate, you really need to check out 'Naked Attraction' - if there's one show that would, undoubtedly, be refused broadcast in the USA it's this one. The clue's in the name. ;)
Also, if you should ever make it over here to our little isle than please allow me to welcome you by means of buying you a pint - you'll soon fall in love with pub culture. :)
If you want to try some surreal British comedy, I recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace! Even in the UK I'm not sure many people really get it. :)
Omfg I love taskmaster it's bloody hilarious
AS a Brit, I can confirm we are indeed as weird as shit, which is greaaaaat
‘Nostalgia’ towards ‘Blue Peter’ doesn’t even come close. I’m 68 and watched it when I was 8.
Blue Peter has been running since October 1958 and still going strong.
When the show moved from the old BBC TV center in White City, London to Media City in Salford, Manchester the Blue Peter Garden was also moved. I use to watch it in B&W days, not seen one since it moved from BBC1 to CBBC. If you follow 'Strictly', Helen Skelton is dancing to the Blue Peter theme tune this Saturday coming. All the dances performed to well known BBC themes both radio and TV. Happy 100th Birthday BBC.
Detectorists is top level wonderful. It's gentle melancholy humour.
The League of Gentlemen was a brilliant and extremely dark comedy, sometimes uncomfortable to watch but hilarious, especially Tubbs and Edward. Memorable characters such as Pauline, the job start officer and her pens, Uncle Harvey and his toads, Babs the transexual taxi driver and of course Tubbs and Edward in their local shop for local people. Inbreeding and cannibalism in the dark town of Royston Vasey, which was the real name of controversial comedian Roy Chubby Brown who later in the series appeared as the mayor.
We didn't burn him.
I agree entirely about the League of Gentlemen. It was SERIOUSLY DARK. I stopped watching it because the balance of my mind was getting seriously disturbed. 😅An absolutely brilliant show though.
On a list of fictional detective shows, Midsomer is the most dangerous place to live, followed by a place in Sweden then Cabot Cove is third.....
@Balthazar Asquith - 'the most dangerous place to LEAVE...?' - I think auto-correct may have changed something - LOL!
@@stewedfishproductions7959 that's a really productive use of your time and singular brain cell. Well done 👏
@@balthazarasquith Sorry, I don't know what happened there!? LOL - The first two disappeared (as if they had been rejected by YT), so on the 3rd attempt, I did it shorter and it too disappeared - DUH! Anyway, I shall delete 2 of them... 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, I do think you meant LIVE, surely ?
St Mary Mead, home to Miss Marple, also ranks quite highly.
Tyler why not try League of Gentlemen and Inside No.9. Same team makes both show. Do try them
And Psychoville
It be good to see you react to British comedy like inbetweeners and Only fools and horses. Maybe some Poridge TV series.
'Blue Peter' is named after a Royal Navy/Merchant Navy flag. I believe it's flown when a ship is about to leave port/set sail. It's presenters have done all sorts of things like climbing Nelson's Column to clean the bird crap, placing the Christmas Star on the tree in Trafalgar Square and yes one infamous presenter did drop it one year!! Running Christmas charity collections for Lifeboats.
Unfortunately, a lot of these programme-makers have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now digging away underneath it........
A lot of the "American reacts to British" channels have discovered Taskmaster and love it. The American version was really poor and was cancelled after 1 series mostly because they didn't pick the contestants very well and American commedians were less willing to humiliate themselves for the sake of comedy.
Blue Peter 😃 my gosh everyone watched this as a child they even have badges which they give out.
I was actually on the show when I was like 7 after going to the set on a primary school trip. Can't remember the episode though
I've lived in the UK all my life, but I haven't heard of, let alone watched, half of these programmes either... And I'd also forgotten that Blue Peter is even older than I am - by a few years, anyway! It has always been a magazine type programme, confusing generations of children by advising us to write our competition answers on the back of a postcard, when the only postcards most of us had ever seen were of the picture-type you sent to people while you were on holiday; and not forgetting the use of "sticky-backed plastic" that was otherwise universally known as Sellotape, leaving us all thinking it must be something that only posh people can afford... They also went on summer expeditions to exotic destinations that ordinary people probably wouldn't even have been aware existed before - let alone how to get there; and had Christmas charity appeals that involved millions of us sending them all our milk bottle tops, plastic bread seals and suchlike, that were presumably recycled long before anything like that became universally available. Yes, there are certain "rite of passage" programmes that almost every actor that ever was, has been in - especially the long-running soaps such as Coronation Street (also older than me at 62 and counting - and still with one original character in it), Emmerdale (50 this week) and the likes of Casualty - which employs nurses well past retirement age...! Or indeed they happen to attend a party in Midsomer, which is like a cross between the board game Cluedo and Miss Marple!
Great video, you deserve a Blue Peter badge !
Midsomer murders is a slow paced drama. Each episode is 2 hours long and would not fit in to the major network scheduling. US crime drama must have the crime solved with in an hour. Also New Zealand has their own show which follows the same format The Brokenwood Mysteries set in a small town.
The league of gentleman is still one of my all time faves.
I personally don't see many of these shows anymore and there is a few I never knew existed. The funniest that I think Americans would laugh at is Celebrity Juice
I haven't had TV for many years and can honestly say with hand on heart I don't miss it. Having said that, I've caught parts of Taskmaster on YT and loved League of Gentlemen!
Where The League of Gentlemen is set, is called Royston Vasey, which is Chubby Brown's real name.
Slough being pronounced as "slow", by an English narrator... wtf?!
Couldn't believe that!!! SLOW!!😂😂😂 what a div!!
WatchMojo videos seem to always have things like this - either it is deliberate or they recruit very Americanized people.
@@alexmckee4683 Or university students. :)
He's not English. His accent is fake.
He's *Ashley Bowman* a Welsh born Canadian, who knows nothing about the UK, has no interest in the UK, who makes countless mistakes in every video, along with mispronouncing British nouns and words that are actually in the dictionary, in every video too.
That's why he blocked all my channels around 3 years ago, as he doesn't like people pointing out his mistakes, not just on *WatchMojo* and their 30+ sister channels, but also the countless other Top 10 channels he narrates for too.
He gets everywhere, and has blocked me (and no doubt countless other people) everywhere.
@@danielgardecki1046 Well, he sure does bastardise the English language. Going to do some research now, you've intrigued me. ☮
As a Brit, I couldn't get in the British office or Sewing bee.
I watch Tyler Rumple because he is gorgeous, oh and amazingly informative. 😁These vids are excellent and during the Queen's funeral, I followed intently, and loved the history coverage. Most respectful and kind. Thank you and please continue....⚜️
Yeah, I have a poster of Marilyn Monroe for exactly that reason. /s
The One Show is is on ar 7pm,so an early night show.
Prince william reaching for the blue peter badge, bless him he was so happy 😂
alot of british programming in Canada and yes I watch both the baking and sewing shows.I grew up watching Mr Bean and Benny Hill.
At least 3 murders per episode in Midsomer Murders. Midsomer is a fictional area. It includes the town of Causton and several surrounding Villages.
The actor who plays the current main character of Inspector Barnaby (John, cousin of the original Tom Barnaby) actually played the part of one of the murderers in one of the early series 🤔😁
My 100 year old mother is addicted to the show, I always wonder why anyone would live in a village where there is such a high likelihood of death by neighbour!
it's probably like doctor who. it's been going for so long that eventually an actor that was in an earlier season is gonna show up as a different character later on
Never heard of the "Detectorists" (UK here)
best of all - The Mighty Boosh !
Has Tyler reacted to any episodes of Shooting Stars (the Vic & Bob spoof quiz show)? If not, the Larry Hagman episode and the one with Lance-Corporal Boyle D'Egg are recommended,
I also recommend full episodes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks - especially those early ones where the joke-writers had been secretly prepping a guest without telling the hosts. (Jah Wobble and his "imaginary drums"? Bryan MacFadden and his animal impressions?)
And if he wants something that's alternately dark-humoured and just puzzling, there's always Chris Morris's JAM.
The American Office insulted us.
It was dumbed down for the US audience and ruined a absolute Intelligent witty masterpiece.
Blue Peter was my favourite show in the 70's!
Midsummer Murders has been going so long that the lead part detective has retired and been replaced by a relative with the same surname. In every episode there are three murders and the main suspect turns out not to have done it. The detective then arrest the correct murderer.
The English version of The Office is much better than the American version, I can say that as an Australian. Midsommer is an area with lots of towns, There is normally 3 murders per episode and the detectives don't seem to be too concerned.There must be at least 20 series but I'm guessing. John Nettles, the original lead, was in it for years and years. It's very popular in Australia and around the world.
The sewing bee is great! You have so many talented sewers in the US it would go down a storm. Not so keen on The Office. There are a number of Midsomer villages in Somerset. Never seen the one with the masks. Looks creepy. I've never heard of the detectorists and hate the one show. Have I got news for you is hilarious.never heard of no 1. He hasn't mentioned absolutely fabulous, or vicar of Dibley. I don't really agree with his choices.
A show missing from this list is The Young Ones, which aired in the early 80's. I can't see a show like that being made in the states but I'm sure you'd love it, as most brits do.
1 - *Celebrity Juice* (2008-2022) by *ITV* - An excellent comedy panel show presented by *Leigh Francis* in his semi-permanent character *Keith Lemon.* He gets celebrities to do ridiculous things to win points for their team. It is also *ITV2's* most successful show ever.
2 - *Upstart Crow* (2016-present) by the *BBC* - A sitcom which I've never seen, and have no interest in seeing, mainly because I don't think the writer *Ben Elton,* or the lead actor *David Mitchell* are funny. However the other cast members like *Harry Enfield* and *Liza Tarbuck* are funny.
3 - *Have I Got News For You* (1990-present) by the *BBC* - A rubbish comedy panel show about news.
4 - *Inside No. 9* (2016-present) by the *BBC* - A typical weird horror-comedy show by *Reece Shearsmith* and *Steve Pemberton.* It's an anthology series so each episode is different. I've seen 3 episodes I think, one of which was excellent, whereas the other two were just ok.
5 - *The League of Gentleman* (1999-2002) by the *BBC* - A typical weird horror-comedy show by *Reece Shearsmith* and *Steve Pemberton.* It's set in a village of weird people. I've only seen bits and pieces, and it seems ok. I've seen the entire *The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse* (2005) film however, and I remember that being very good.
6 - *The One Show* (2006-present) by the *BBC* - A rubbish, early evening, talk show, which no-one watches, and everyone seems to hate.
7 - *Detectorists* (2014-2017) by the *BBC* - A rubbish sitcom which no-one watched, which is why it was on *BBC Four.* I've seen the first episode and I gave up after that, as not a single thing in the show was funny. As usual though with low viewer shows, the critics loved it.
8 - *Taskmaster* (2015-present) by *UKTV* and now *Channel 4* - An excellent comedy panel show, where mainly comedian celebrities do ridiculous tasks for the taskmaster. Presented by *Greg Davies* and co-presented by *Alex Horne* who created the show.
9 - *Blue Peter* (1958-present) by the *BBC* - A children's entertainment show, which features viewer and presenter challenges, competitions, celebrity interviews, popular culture, and sections on making arts and crafts items from household items. When I was a kid there was usually something better on *ITV* as *CITV* always had better shows than *CBBC.*
10 - *Bo Selecta* (2002-2009) by *Channel 4* - A very good sketch show played by *Leigh Francis.* It's where his semi-permanent sex-obsessed character *Keith Lemon* first appeared.
11 - *Midsomer Murders* (1997-present) by *ITV* - A relatively dull drama about murders in a small county.
12 - *The Office* (2001-2003) by the *BBC* - A massively overrated mockumentary by *Ricky Gervais.* All of *Ricky Gervais* sitcoms and mockumentaries are overrated, however *The Office* is easily the worst. I don't rate any of them higher than 7/10. However his stand up shows, and his shows with *Karl Pilkington* are excellent.
13 - *The Great British Sewing Bee* (2013-present) by the *BBC* - A reality show about sewing, which surprisingly gets high viewing figures. I've never seen it, and I don't want to see it.
Have I got news of you one of the funniest shows still on the TV
Yeah they have definitely been consistent and the formula ages well 💯💯
@@MoReeceJTV I stopped watching it when they all started showing their political bias.
The detectorists was absolutely fantastic, I've watched it 3 or 4 times, loved it!
Im from UK i cant bare celebrity juice i dont know how they get away with things it disgusting
It's brilliant 😂
It's crap
@@MoReeceJTV maybe it my age lol
Yep garbage....never saw the appeal but that's just my opinion.
It seems the girls don't like it as much as the boys. I found it funny.
Why wasn't '8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' on here?
I love that and I 'm Aussie 😊
The joy of midsomer is trying to recognise the filming locations and the actors
Look at the UKs “spitting image” 😊
British shows are often very surrealist, especially League of Gentlemen.
It's no wonder that the dumbing down of TV content has resulted in the lowest viewership on record and the mass cancellation of TV licenses.
Great video with good information, Tyler. I love British Television. Between UA-cam, and Brit Box on Prime, where I get it, I can watch all the best British TV. I think on average it is better that US produced shows. However, a lot of the Cable movies and originals are fabulous.
if you watch any of these, I IMPLORE you to watch Taskmaster. It's in it's 16th season in the UK, has had 4 seasons in New Zealand (which is also hilarious), and other adaptations in Portugal, Finland, Australia, and other countries. A US version was pitched, and even had Alex Horne as the assistant, but it was god awful and only had one episode. Apparently, there are plans to try to re-do it, but I don't know how it will do...
Midsomer Murders was popular in the US except it was called Murder She Wrote......RIP Angela Lansbury. OK theyr're not exactly the same but would you move to Cabot Cove back in the 1980s/90s?
You should react to all episodes of Blue Peter starting from the first episode and moving forward.
Taskmaster is amazing u need to react to it. I don't think it would work well in the US because its about humiliating the contestants and host Alex as much as possible.
it didn't work in the u.s, it got cancelled after the first season
12:10 “it’s not like Americans would even get it” The irony!
midsommar murders is a long running detective series
Watching you react to Bo Selecta! is going to be hilarious - hopefully.....
I’m watching this and the show Doc Martin is on. I think that could be one for the list too. Another one is King Gary.
Finally an American who reacts and actually gets it and doesn’t laugh not knowing what’s going on and talking over everything no offence
