Review: This Country, Episode 3, BBC Three
It's a lovely script, with echoes of Victoria Wood, written by the stars, Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper. It does tread a very thin line between sympathy for these marginalised kids and comic piss-take at their stupidity, but it just about gets the balance right.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd February 2017This Country: perfect TV if you grew up in a village
Funny, desperate and spot on, the new BBC comedy about life in a tiny town connects with me in a way no other could. What a terrific achievement.
