[TV] BBC comedy - This Country

[1066familyman]

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.

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.

Big fan of This Country, I kept seeing the trailers but didn't actually watch it at first. Definitely appeals to my silly sense of humour.

All I can find is in 2018

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

Mrs Brown's Boys
The Kumars..............

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

Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Dads Army
Porriage
From Cradle to Grave

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?

Thin blue line.

Did anyone see Christmas Carol goes Wrong?

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 !

So many to choose from,
but this will do for starters

Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Dads Army
Porriage
From Cradle to Grave

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.
