Very late to the party - This Country

[MrsPelligrinoPetrichor]

Just be binged the lot, have avoided it so far as I don't like DMC much but this was fantastic, I enjoyed it so much!

It's on iPlayer for anyone who hasn't seen it, I expect I'm the only one though 🤣

It’s brilliantly funny. I love Kerry’s facial expressions, she manages to convey so much in a single look.

Aaaw, it's so good. Me and then 13yr old DS binged it in the pandemic.
His mind was blown when he realised Mandy was the matron in Malory Towers.

We loved it so much we made a visit to the village!

It’s so quotable!

Oh I love this

Also love this show. Another family connection is that Len is their uncle

The episode where Kurtan was trying to get the Vicar to take him to TK Maxx in Swindon was hilarious.

She was also a senior doctor in This Is Going To Hurt. Such a versatile actress.

Love this show. I also grew up not too far away and it brings back funny memories.

I love Kath and Kim! God, so many brilliant characters and lines. Kel is so awful and his mate, Sandy Freckle! 😆😆

And what about when Big Mandy joined the Book Club. Poor Vicar!!

The happy hardcore music Kurtan gets the Vicar listening to 'wait for the drop'!

Big Mandy sleeping with her eyes open- and the whole tattoo episode- just brilliant.

The characters are so cleverly written and complex. Love it

When I was at school in the 90’s, I knew a girl who was so much like Kerry, she could have been the inspiration for the character.

She had a West Country accent and wore a red football shirt. She wasn’t that bright and sometimes hung out with kids in the years below. In some ways she was very sweet and kind, but she was determined to be seen as “hard” and got into a lot of trouble as a result. She was once suspended for starting a fire - because a girl two years her junior had told her to do it.

And in those days, many of the boys in our year wore their hair like Kurtan. It all takes me right back.

Yep so funny 😆 loved this series.

I grew up in a town like this - Kerry is so representative of many of the girls there. "I got enemies in South Cerney, I got enemies in North Cerney, I got enemies in Bourton on the Water..."

We even have a Scarecrow festival.

I love this show so much, really really laugh out loud funny. Mandy is my favourite. They must have had such a good laugh making the series. Can watch it over and over again and I always notice something new every time.

Hilarious

I am going to re watch. Thanks for reminding me, op.
It's brilliant.

I'm going to re-watch too. They are SO good. We live not that far away and I grew up in the countryside. It is spot on.

It's spot on for me too. We have our local ermmm characters here, honest we do.

When we first moved here, it was rife...
the local tearaway who loved mooning at passing cars at the bus shelter, the woman who set the bottom of her hair on fire on purpose for a bet in the pub (she won the bet), the old guy who did dry stone walling and nicked stuff out your garden given half the chance, (he lived in a caravan and locals would just knock on the door and say... come on, give it back, and that was that), oh yes.. very similar all of it.

And Len is their uncle.

Recommend this

I loved it when Kurtan worked at the bowling club,

Honestly when I first watched this I thought it was a serious documentary. I live in a village, say no more!

I loved it! I also watch it over and over again.
