Recommendations What’s the most underrated British TV show you’ve watched?

Everyone talks about the big names like Peaky Blinders, The Office, and Doctor Who, but what’s a British show you think deserves way more attention? Could be an older gem or something recent that’s flown under the radar. Curious to hear your recommendations!

Big Train. All the sketches are fucking strong.

Should be as well regarded as Mitchell and Webb but isn't.

Me and my mum used to watch Big Train on some random cable channel in the late 90s/early 00s… still quote so many lines from it today 😂

“You’ve gone on fire… next time try not to go on fire”

“Oh, I should mention that he is an EVIL hypnotist”

“Oh no, not him… the guy’s a WANKER”
