AIBU to be grinning like a fool and feeling all giddy because This Country has won two BAFTA awards over the weekend?

They won the Best Scripted Comedy award and Daisy May won Best Female Performance in a Comedy Programme for her role as Kerry.

BBC News This Country BAFTA

Many congratulations to Daisy May, Charlie, and all the team. Your show is excellent, please keep up the good work.

In fact, no, I'm not being unreasonable. And if you disagree then me and my well hard friend Kerry will sort you out with a good plumming, so there! Angry

No YANBU. I love them both. They make me smile.
Loving the fact there's a third series coming.

Kerrryyy- she’s been having double dinners!
Love them and the show.
I was pleased too.

frankie001 · 15/05/2018 08:37

Was thrilled for them!

Sparklesocks · 15/05/2018 08:47

Love it and loved daisy’s bafta Dress!!

The80sweregreat · 15/05/2018 09:31

I think that the actor who plays the Vicar needs a heads up too, how he can keep a straight face at times is amazing.
The characters seem real and thats why i love this show, i hope that series three is as good and is not disappointing.

Great show a real hidden treasure, like Detectorist

KERRY?!!!

WHAT?!!!

Is now the standard shout out in my house

AlonsoTigerHeart · 15/05/2018 09:38

Oh I've just seen the Swindon dress, im howling👏😂👏😂

The80sweregreat · 15/05/2018 09:51

Kerrryy, what?? my friend and I email each other with this now as an opening line and neither of us are called Kerry!

I was so pleased when Kurten got a job - my family think I;m mad as its not true, but goes to show how invested i have become. Her dad is awful and the bin wars and Big Mandy are also hysterical. That poor Vicar though, they run rings.

“Who’s been nicking after them runners? They’re absolutely fucked.” Makes me howl and I can’t even explain why.

PunxsutawneyHogwash · 15/05/2018 10:22

The Swindon dress and boots are amazing. It's great to see someone wear something so unique and personal.

And yes, all the cast are exceptional. I would love to see an outtakes reel as I imagine every minute is filled with hilarity (and of course masses of talent, hard work and dedication).

Love the BAFTA lost property post on Charlie Cooper's Twitter.

I wonder if DMC is on here after the birth of her little girl early this year?

Oh i didnt realise

Thats great, i love This country (especially series 1)

I replayed the whole 'mandy/blind man' scene for a freind in an attempt to introduce her to the show Grin

Some people just dont ' get it' do they? i am and always will be an Office fan but lots of people hated that show - This one is good as the people in it seem genuine and funny, but again, some people just see it as a bit silly! Its all in the delivery and these two do that so well.
