📺 Watched This Country seasons 1-3.

I’m a sucker for a spoof documentary, and this BBC production was no exception. The purported focus is to study how the youth of today that live in the deep countryside fare where there is little work or entertainment on offer - and decades of austerity have naturally wreaked havoc on most community resources. Awkward, hilarious stuff.

The stars of the show - cousins Kerry and Lee Muckloe - are played by real-life siblings , Daisy and Charlie Cooper. They created and co-wrote the show. And whilst This Country is over, they’ve recently come back to the screens in the form of “Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch”, which I’m sure I’ll watch at some point.
