What TV shows are people watching?

Pretty much one of my favourite TV shows. Britain has a way with making brilliant TV shows.

They just know the difference of what is and what isn't funny. Unlike american television where they seem to think alcohol, drugs and sex are funny.

Which it isn't. Like this for example, hilarious:

^Yes. That's why I love the english version of the office. It's funny, but it's also funny in a smart way, i love this video because it compares both versions:

Best British sitcom ever, in my opinion.

As for Come Fly With Me, it was very similar to Little Britain. This time they kept they outrageous characters confined to the one location, the airport, and went back to each of these characters every week. I thought it was very good for the first two or three episodes and then felt they slipped up exactly where they did with Little Britain, which is in repetition. It is however worth a watch, I enjoyed it.

The Walking Dead is coming back in the UK next month and I CANNOT WAIT! I got so hooked on the first season thanks to my mate at Uni and I friggin' love the show!

And also Jamie's Dream School (our US users may have no clue what this is) but Jamie Oliver (a very up-his-arse chef who also does adverts for a supermarket) brings in some inspirational people to help inspire some of the UK's most egotisitical, rude and down right ignorant kids I have ever seen... the concept is fantastic, I mean having Rolf Harris teach you art?! Jazzie B from Soul II Soul teaching you about music production?! WIN!

Oh and also Professor Robert Winston teaching you science...... EPIC WIN!!

I wouldn't mind having Robert Fripp teach me guitar.

And yeah I know who Jamie is.

They shouldnt be compared though. Apart from having the same name and the same basis (mockumentary in a paper company) they are completely different entities. The UK Office was more like an actual documentary that had a bit of a goofy boss, every other character in the UK version was just basically an average run of the mill person. The US Office has alot more eccentric characters, Jim and Pam were the only two who resembled every day people who you might meet in an actual office situation.
