gaaaah the bit where vicar told the camera crew he was going but hadn’t told k&k was so emotional.So next week is the last one?
Hope the vicar doesn't go to Bristol - he needs to stay.
I think my favourite of this series has been the book club one - just hilarious. And we still don't know who Kurtan's nan was!
I feel so sad for these fictional people

I absolutely love this show, the faces Kerry makes always make me laugh. I'm so disappointed it's ending.

I'm in hysterics every time I see the court drawing from Martin's trial!I bloody love this series. Came across it by accident and spammed all my friends with recommendations to watch it.
Kerry's unseen Mum cracks me up and I love Big Mandy
BBC Three - This Country, Series 1, Mandy, Meet Big Mandy
The doc crew meet Kerry and Kurtan's neighbour Big Mandy for the first time.www.bbc.co.uk
kerrys little facial expressions to the crew absolutely kill me every time
I saw this but I don’t think they will ever reveal who it was unless someone leaks it. They were both on a podcast I listened to where they said they wouldn’t reveal who it was and no one would ever guess.Apparently Kurtan's nan (with the pixellated face) is a A list actor who flew in specially to do it. They are not saying who it was but have given some clues eg not from England, has a very creative partner, they had never met this person before
so who knowsMajor major props to Paul Chahidi who plays the Vicar he is absolutely spot on casting and the three of them together are such a joy to watch.

I have JUST found this programme and honestly we love it, we laugh so much at every single episode so far. I really liked Stath let’s flat, and it’s kind of the same humour. Brilliant
You guys are watching the new series right? Last weeks ep with judiths garden, Kerry’s list of bits from the shop, the driving!! fucking amazing absolutely howling throughout .
I BEG YOUR PARDON
although this is the final series, I was listening to the WTAF podcast with Charlie and daisy as guests and they basically said they hope to do a film at some point !!

Yeah all the best comedies know to quit while they’re still funny. Even the greatest shows will jump the shark eventually if they go on too long, it’s inevitable. Comedy has a shorter shelf life than drama. There’s nothing worse than seeing a once hilarious show turn it’s characters into parodies solely defined by exaggerations of their personality and repeating the same storylines with added ridiculousness that makes it just stupid and not funny anymore (peep show I’m looking at you.)"Plenty of room, plenty of room, plenty of room, STOOOPPPPP!"

One of the best written and performed British comedies in years. I love them all but Mandys tattoo book, “Mr. Perkins is a Prick”, the Vicars song with The Nice Guys and Martin Mucklowe living in the caravan and recounting anecdotes about what a great builder Fred West was are my highlights. Can’t wait for the new series.

We can have a group trip when this Corona nightmare is over !!Really really wanna do a trip to Cirencester and see all the little spots where they film
the constant ringing round telling everyone she’d “smashed my leg to fuck”I’ve only recently just started watching This Country but oh my god I bloody love it !!
Recently watched the episode where Kerry injures herself really really badly (
pass it onYeah I love a ‘mockumentary ’, it can produce such brilliantly awkward dry humour. Amazing comedy pauses. It’s also really good for pushing the plot along without feeling like clunky exposition- because it makes sense they are explaining this new character or situation.
(did spinal tap create the genre ? )
This country may be the best example of a mockumentary I’ve ever seen though. I love how they’ve started interacting with the ‘film crew’ now.
