Gentle comedy recommendations

6 replies

chatnicknameyousuggested · 06/07/2019 22:21

My old 85 year old mum has broken her leg. She has some help, but is very bored and down.
Her native language isn't English, but she only watches TV in English and understands everything. She is looking for modernish (ie not Porridge etc) gentle British comedy - something like Dinnerladies, Golden Girls (so maybe US), but more current.
It has to be youtubeable.
Any recommendations?

I know you asked for modern, but Only Fools and Horses is timeless.

I know you said British, but would she like Frasier at all? I love it. My Family maybe?
