We are back in the Cotswolds with cousins Kerry and Kurtan for the third season of this deadpan mockumentary. With news of the death of a beloved local resident to contend with and Kerry forced to take a job - thanks to an alpaca-related debt - Kurtan steps in to provide some much-needed domestic help. A revelation from beyond the grave soon throws things into a spin for the mismatched pair, who are real-life sister and brother. Pitch-perfect and expertly paced. Also streaming on BBC Three.

Everything works in perfect concert to portray this deep, unspoken friendship between Kerry and Kurtan, enduring through some testing times.

Like The Office at its best, Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's Cotswolds-set mockumentary remains hilarious, potent and exquisite right to the end.

Still the funniest show on television.

Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's hilarious mockumentary is as infinitely quotable as ever.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 17th February 2020Review: This Country
BBC Three's sublime rural mockumentary This Country is back for what creators Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper have said is its final series. When we last saw the Mucklowe cousins (played by the Cooper siblings) just over a year ago in 'The Aftermath', Kerry was finally coming to terms with the selfishness of her dad, whom she had always idolised, while Kurtan was struggling to cope with losing his job at the bowls club.

"We had nothing before This Country. It was humiliating... we couldn't even afford McDonald's".
Ellie Harrison, The Independent, 16th February 2020This Country, series three, episode one review
The comedy about Cotswold cousins Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe returns with a bold and strangely poignant opening episode.
