Outside. NOW!

Just remembered Claudius does go to Britain in one of the later episodes. You can keep that. The rest of it? Not British- Keep it off our screens!!

[Mr Farenheit]

Also, the British characters in 'Allo 'Allo are secondary at best. I would like to see this heavily re-edited to make Arthur Bostrom the central character. If the BBC are unable or unwilling to do this then the whole show should be stricken from the archives.

I, Claudius should be renamed I'm Claudius, Me

Perhaps this is partly another attempt to disuade people from leaving the UK on holiday and spending their money in FORREN COUNTRIES by making them forget there is a world beyond the UK.

Finally time to pitch my "Dad's Army reboot but they're a ragtag bunch of modern day pedo hunters"

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

20 years since them slags invented East End Thug it still freaks my nut out to this day

[Fambo Number Mive]

So, Telly that Brits love but the rest of the world hates then. Gotcha.

This would explain Derry Girls being mysteriously listed alongside Only Fools, as if they represent two sides of the same Great British Character^TM

Imagine the Buzzfeed article "Which Derry Girls/Only Fools and Horses character are you?"

[bgmnts]

On reflection, are they just referring to The Crown and Downtown Abbey?

Mr Brown goes off to town on the A21
But he comes own each evening and he's ready to impersonate a 12 year old girl on Discord

Pounds and Ounces

Ian Pound, an amateur blacksmith, lives next door to Ian Ounce, a zookeeper who takes care of the snow leopards (also known as ounces). They regularly argue about the noise Ian Pound makes pounding his anvil/the cracking birds he manages to pull every night, and the smell from the snow leopards (also known as ounces) Ian Ounce keeps in his back yard. But they both hate meters - parking meters, leccy meters - and meter-men. Tune in every week as Pound and Ounce smash up meters with Ian Pound's big hammer and lure meter-men to their deaths at the claws of Ian Ounce's snow leopards (also known as ounces) which he keeps in his back yard instead of at the zoo for some reason.

Maybe we could have an updated Brexit version where the teacher is an irate Milwall fan who kicks fuck out of a different forrin every week.

Dad's Army. Carry On. Only Fools And Horses.

Mate. We've already got Dave. Any fucker can watch it on Freeview.

I'm fond of all three of those, but a televisual diet of them and uninspired rip-offs of them sounds very much like real TV Hell to me.

Take That, Brussels!

Five cheeky schoolboys named Gary, Robbie, Mark, Jason and the other one fight the good fight against their ultra-woke leftist teacher Mr. Brussel and his domineering feminist wife, the headmistress Mrs. Brussel.

Is Michael Portillo's Railway Journeys a bit foreign? Dominic Raab riding a toy train up and down Bournemouth Pier throwing sticks of rock at orphans.

Isn't a squadron a term used in the RAF not the British Army?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/79_Railway_Squadron_RLC

Squadron is used in the British Army as a term for organisational units of specialised troops from a Corps, such as the railwaymen of the Royal Logistics Corps linked to above or the pilots. observers and engineers in the Royal Flying Corps (which then became the RAF).

The men in Blackadder Goes Forth are not part of a Corps, they are members of a regiment that is part of a regular infantry Brigade (supposedly the Suffolk or Cambridgeshire Regiment, according to which source you read). Blackadder is a Captain, the rank associated with commanding a Company (200 men) of the Regiment. George is a Lieutenant, the rank associated with commanding a Platoon (50 men) of that Company. The Platoon is then divided up into Sections (12 men), each of which is usually commanded by an NCO.

I presume Whittingdale was maybe going for Squad instead of Squadron, but that term is not used by the British Army. Squad is used by the US Army and is an equivalent of the British Army's Section

What a Boer!

Historical comedy. Ian Rees and Ian Mogg oversee a Boer concentra- I mean protection camp, where they have nothing to do except cater to the entitled Boer wives and African farmers enjoying the gracious hospitality of the British Army, and occasionally foil the inept schemes of the Boer terrorists. Also, Ian Mogg is black, whaaaaaaat, so take that wokescolds. Starring Jeremy Clarkson.

Mad Lads

Dramady set in the 1970s about four working class lads employed at the steel mill that takes a wry look back at the attitudes of the time. It absolutely isn't an excuse to suggest that workplace sexual harassment was invented by ugly women's libbers, or that racist and homophobic language was just friendly banter between mates.
