10 Best British TV shows all foreigners should watch
Рет қаралды 118,813
Күн бұрынToday we're talking all things British TV! Here are the best British TV shows from when I was a foreigner living in England. The UK has a LOT of TV, so it was extremely hard to narrow it down to just 10 shows - but I'll be posting more videos on British TV eventually! For all viewers living in the UK: what's your favourite British TV show??

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

One of the contestants on BakeOff started crying because something didn't go to plan. And then got even more upset because she knew her breakdown would be broadcast to the country. So the presenters and other contestants just started swearing really loudly for 10 minutes to make the footage unusable so it would have to get edited out. How wholesome!

TV shows oriented and for popculture QI with Stephen Fry are gold, Newswipe from Charlie Brooker is also enlightening for some cultural/historical "facts".

@@neilbuckley1613 The problem with Doctor Who is that it's a show that invites opinion. The show has gone on so long and is so pervasive in various media that the fans all feel that they own it to some extent. As a result, almost everything they do will be publicly maligned by a loud minority, whilst the majority either approve or keep their mouths shut. I'm not guilt-free of this myself but you tend to find more criticism of Doctor Who along the lines of "it's crap now because of this ill-defined reason" than you do in many non "cult" franchises

Fresh Meat. It's great. Also The Detectorists. It's been mentioned in other comments. It's very whimsical, gentle humour, so well written and acted. It's set in rural Essex so it will look very familiar to you if you've been living in the Kent countryside. Also, I've met Bob Mortimer, you'll be pleased to know he's very sweet and down to earth and exactly like he is on the telly.

They do make mistakes though. Like claiming that Florence Nightingale invented the pie chart which is an urban myth and almost everything that has anything to do with German is very iffy. Claiming that 'Doppeltgänger' is the proper German word is utterly hilarious it is so wrong.

The seasons actually get better and better and its charm increases on the rewatch. THE UK MISSES YOU LOADS THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO IT WAS FANTASTIC LIST, ALANNA : ))

Old Brit lady with an old Canadian husband who for some reason can't get enough of old '70s comedies (I think watching them on PBS as a kid made him want to come to UK) we here in the UK are currently obsessing about Richard Osman's House of Games. You might like it when you get back here, its yet another "celebrity" quiz/panel show. Best thing about UK is that at least on the BBC there are NO ad breaks. You get to see the whole program from beginning to end without interruption!

Certainly don't like Dr Who and Bullseye but I am more into old skool British sitcoms - here are my favorite sitcoms in order: 1. Only Fools and Horses (this is a must watch!) 2. Some Mothers Do 'Av 'Em 3. Fawlty Towers 4. Blackadder 5. Keeping Up Appearances 6. Porridge 7. Open All Hours 8. One Foot In The Grave 9. George and Mildred 10. On The Buses
