The Cockfields, Mum, Here We Go

[ResusciAnnie]

Any more shows along these lines? Shows that show were basically all just living the same life 😆 I really thought DH’s family were very odd but they’re just like the Cockfields….. infuriating but can’t be that unusual if been made into a show!

Ghosts 😍
The Detectorists
Motherland
Amandaland

Ah watched a lot of Ghosts today 😍 love it but not the realism I’m looking for.

DH loves the Detectorists but I can’t get into it. Maybe I should try again.

Motherland and Amandaland - yes huge fan! But it’s not got that ‘omg it’s us!’ feeling!

Sorry, I totally skipped over the realism bit.

How about Outnumbered? Very real life.

And American and more sitcom-y but I like The Middle because it is more real life than usual.

Is this a new episode? Where did you watch it?

This Country
My Brilliant Friend (staggering, emotional Italian realism).
Daddy Issues
Brassic
I May Destroy You (actual genius on screen).
Big Boys
Marriage (breathtakingly real).
Blue Lights
Industry (unmissable - and the domestic scenes are very real).

Mum on iPlayer, absolutely brilliant.

New episode of which one?

Yes that’s in my title 😁 love it

The cockfields, sorry, someone mentioned a Christmas special the other day and I couldn't find it on Now, but it might be on a different service

Oh yes we watched that last night on iPlayer :)

Somebody Somewhere. American but brilliant

Oo oo oo I think I started that…… or tried to but couldn’t find it…. will look it up!

Modern Family

The Cockfields was first on Gold several years ago. We loved it and we also watch Here We Go. You don't get a lot of TV without police / crime / murder nowadays. I tried Motherland but found it too sort of slapstick. Sounds like I should try Mum.

Yeah that’s it. Just everyday life with humour for me please!

Two Doors Down? All available on iPlayer.

I love Mum and Here We Go. Cockfields is a funny one - I enjoy it but I feel like there's a dark edge to it because the Ray character can be so unpleasant. The cast are great though and I love David.

I’d absolutely second Mum. It’s got a very similar sort of gentle humour, with the family weirdo, but lots of love between them all too.

ETA very similar to Here We Go. Sorry - brain going to sleep.

Oh God, sorry,so it is !!

Mum is fantastic! Best drama ever and written by the sane man who wrote ‘ him and her ‘
have watched a few cockfields, but the newer ones with a different dad actor I couldn’t get into. I think his girlfriend was different too ?
Here we go is funny.
Also like the detectorists
Can't think of any new shows like these ones.
Would like mum to come back, but it did end on a high.

Not the same but a great family based drama with a stellar cast is Last Tango in Halifax OP. It’s very funny in places, it’s on I Player x

Definitely Two Doors down. The whole thing is set in one house with a load of annoying neighbours who keep popping round, I love it 🥰
Also…Still Game
The power of Parker
This country
The job lot

This Country!

My family. It's old now (the actor who plays the youngest is nearly as old as me which always feels very weird when I think about it) but brilliant, especially the early ones with Kris Marshall in it.

The four seasons was really good too (Netflix)

I also saw the title and thought there was a new Cockfields episode.
This Country is brilliant.
Also the Outlaws (I think that's what it's called) about a group doing community service.
