Stumbled across this sitcom the other night. Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
Did find it very funny but at the same time hard to believe there are probably real life rural communities like this!
Anyone else seen it?

Yeah the search function is a bit hit and miss on here.
I assume in this case the term "this country" is likely to appear in hundreds of threads and the search engine doesn't rate any one thread as more likely to be the one you are looking for ( i.e. in the title of the thread)

Apparently they have just challenged Lawro

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51550311

They predict we will draw 1-1 today. Lawro predicts a 2-0 home win.

I was actually beginning to lose the will to live just typing that; #uselessfactsRus

Probably the best thing on tv. Definitely worth going back and watching the first 2 series on BBC iplayer if you have just discovered it. You won't be disappointed.

First impressions are not positive for me. Having spent some time in the army near rural places like this, I can assure you it is inaccurate. It could be the fact I don't find mocumentaries funny as well so I'm bias

So, a big well done to the Coopers and yet another duff prediction from Lawro.
