Apparently there's a second series on its way. Anyone know when the first episode of the new series is due please?, as I can't find the info anywhere.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Yes - I'd be very interested to know this too.
I loved the first series. It was a bit of an acquired taste but soon become essential viewing for me when it was repeated on BBC1 on Saturday nights after MoTD.

Thanks, but unless I'm missing something, that only tells me what I already know.
I know there's a second series commissioned, but when does it start is the info I'm after.

There is a Twitter account called This Country fan club, a tweet from yesterday said new series in 2 months, no exact date though.

BBC and comedy in the same sentence? This must be some mistake

Detectorists.
But I take your point. Detectorists and This Country are the only two I've found that I like.

Nice one, thanks
Also just seen a Tweet from one of the writers and that says, new series in the spring but no confirmed date.
These BBC comedies are brilliant:
The Thick of It
Worst Week Of My Life
Getting On
The Trip

I assume we are talking about the original Porridge and not the remake which is just awful. /yes the BBC had good comedy shows in the 1970s but now?

This Country is the best thing on telly. "Have you ever done a pill Vicar?"
The last two on the list were hardly the 70's !

Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin?
Haven't really taken to "This Country" although the younger Pottings like it. I have observed that the female main character wears a Swindon Town shirt.
