British comedy suitable for 10-12yr olds?

[PanadTe]

Any recommendations?! 😀

Oh, and Father Ted. Though that's Irish.

Following for ideas. DD loves Ghosts, Cabin Pressure, Outnumbered and Miranda. Had though Friday Night Dinner and Gavin and Stacey a bit old but actually probs not any more. She’ll love G&S because it’s filmed in our neck of the woods.

Count Arthur Strong was a favourite for ours- Some Mothers do ave em is on bbc iplayer - reeves and Mortimer

It’s not British, but Derry Girls.

I don’t know any 10-12 year-olds who would get on with the UK Office. The US version is more accessible to start off with.

we thought the same about Brooklyn 99, we’ve seen it already and don’t remember any dodgy bits.
2 episodes in with our 10 year old we quickly switched it off! Really risqué and down right rude in many places.

Plebs is similar to Ghosts. I think it's also on iplayer. Sorry not iplayer it's the BBC one.

My daughter at that age also liked
Benidorm
Father Ted
Blackadder
Friday Night Dinner
Inbetweeners (bad mother)

Following for ideas.

My Family
Vicar of Dibley
Blackadder
Keeping Up Appearances
Fawlty Towers
Miranda
Inbetweeners
Gavin and Stacey

Mine liked not going out, although might suggest you watch a couple first to check suitability. We are currently watching ted lasso defo got quite a bit of swearing so gain I’d recommend you pre-watch a couple!

I also liked Stella but not watched that with my kids

The Brittas Empire is on britbox. It’s a show that people write off as silly but it’s so cleverly written and the characters are amazing. Things like a gay relationship are covered so brilliantly, way ahead of its time.
Chris Barrie is hilarious as Brittas.

Ted Lasso is INCREDIBLY sweary!

There are some bits of the IT Crowd that might be considered as inappropriate for their age. (It depends on your opinion.) So if you haven't watched it I'd suggest watching the episodes yourself first. (It's more of a subject thing - not like there's graphic violence or sex scenes.)

I watch it with one of mine when he was around 12 possibly 11. I'd never seen it and during the first episode I recall I thought "oops". (That was the only time watching I felt that.)

For a slight spoiler click on 'Edit' it read why I thought oops 😃

At that age I was watching Harry Enfield and chums, Dad's Army and Goodness Gracious Me although they are sketch shows, bar Dads Army.

LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

Only Fools and Horses? Our ds loved Fawlty Towers when he was about 14.

Oh yes abd Some Mothers... was a hit.

Some great suggestions. My DS12 would love Father Ted!

The programmes that have him properly laughing until you cry are

Would I Lie To You
Most of the Rob and Romesh series
Googlebox

(The last two can be quite sweary/rude!)

Keeping Up Appearances. A learning tool how to deal with annoying neighbours in the future 😀

Only Fools and Horses

Count arthur strong!

Brittas Empire is a great recommendation, might go back and watch it again myself!

Did anyone mention Red Dwarf?

I second/third/fourth bleeped Taskmaster.

Keeping Up Appearances is effectively just televised AIBU

I can't remember if there might be a bit of language or possibly inappropriate themes, but Bill Bailey's stand-up is generally 'clean' and absolutely hilarious for the whole family - especially his musical numbers.

Also, Milton Jones - he's brilliantly silly and very funny indeed, but nothing at all that you'd have to worry about younger people seeing.
