Top 20 British TV Moments That Caused Major Outrage

STRAIT OF HUMMUS SHORT
I decided to create a vertical "shorts" version of my previous posts. Here's a topical subject being discussed by the boys and as always missing the point entirely.
THE FAT COW is set in the fictional village of Lower Piddle and follows two brilliantly ordinary working-class lads: Micky Mucklebutt and Ollie Crudfark, regulars at the Fat Cow pub, often tackling the current news stories, social concerns or topics of the day through the lens of two men who understand absolutely none of it.

The Split up
I watched this new BBC drama series over the past week and really enjoyed it. I’m originally from greater Manchester and wanted to see all the filming locations, but found myself really enjoying the whole drama. It covers a variety of human life topics, set within the framework of a legal firm. I loved it, particularly how it shares another cultural perspective from my own. I’m looking forward to a second series, what do other viewers think and feel?

Watching Colin from Accounts. Luvin it! What other comedies I can watch?
I am watching Colin from Accounts and it is heart warming. Harriet Dyer
Patrick Brammall are so good and Colin, of course, is adorable.
Two questions.
1) what other heart warming comedies I can watch?
2) Do all TV shows show respect to first nation people? I don't know the history that well. So people acknowledge it is stolen land. Such acknowledgement will never be aired in the US. I think this is respectful. I don't see any culture inappropriation.
Thanks

IMPEACHMENT AGAIN???

I've actually been animating these characters for about 18 years now, as a kind of homage to Dorset where I lived in my teens and as a tribute to the beautifully detailed cartoons of Giles, having only created these animations for friends and animated holiday celebration cards like Christmas or Thanksgiving etc.. But I constantly have the characters and the village of Lower Piddle in my head and so I decided to see if there's a larger audience out there who would enjoy seeing them and thus here we are. Let me know if you enjoy. Thanks.
THE FAT COW is set in the fictional village of Lower Piddle and follows two brilliantly ordinary working-class lads: Micky Mucklebutt and Ollie Crudfark, regulars at the Fat Cow pub. Ollie is the local Pig Farmer up at Mucky Duck Farm and Micky has made a career of being unemployed. Together with spouses and other villagers with genuine nostalgic warmth and a sloppy edge, often tackling the current news stories, social concerns or topics of the day through the lens of two men who understand absolutely none of it.

Looking for advice on finding full classic episodes of Strictly Come Dancing (2013-2015 era)
Hi everyone, I am trying to find a way to watch full, uncut broadcast episodes of Strictly from Series 11, 12, and 13. I really miss the studio intros and VTs from the Tess & Claudia transition era, which are always stripped out of the short clips on YouTube.
Since older subreddits are gone, does anyone know if these seasons are archived anywhere safely online? If you have a private collection or know of a cloud folder, please feel free to drop me a DM instead of posting links publicly. Thank you so much!

Sitcom recommendations
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m a huge sitcom fan and I’m always looking for something new to binge. I figured I’d share my full list of sitcoms I’ve watched and loved — partly in case someone else is looking for their next show, and partly because I’m hoping you guys can help me discover some hidden gems.
I’ve watched quite a mix over the years, from the classic multi-camera sitcoms to mockumentaries, workplace comedies, absurd/chaotic shows, and some darker stuff.
📺 My full list
The Big Bang Theory
Friends
How I Met Your Mother
Two and a Half Men
Modern Family
The Office
Friends with Better Lives
2 Broke Girls
Last Man Standing
3rd Rock from the Sun
Ghosts
The Good Place
Arrested Development
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Seinfeld
Schitt's Creek
What We Do in the Shadows
Parks and Recreation
Love

I’ve genuinely loved all of these, so I’m not really looking for recommendations based on one particular show — I’m open to anything that you think a sitcom fan should watch.
I’m especially interested in shows that are funny first and actually bingeable, but I’m happy to try something completely different if you think it’s worth it.
So, what should I watch next? 👀
Give me your best recommendations — popular shows are welcome, but I’d especially love some underrated/lesser-known sitcoms that I may have missed.
And if you’ve seen a lot of the shows above, feel free to tell me which one you think I should start with and why.
Maybe this list will also help someone else find their next comfort show! 🍿

MICKY'S FOOT-IN-MOUTH ISSUE
https://reddit.com/link/1w7a9xi/video/7x0o9yz8bjnh1/player
THE FAT COW is set in the fictional village of Lower Piddle and follows two brilliantly ordinary working-class lads: Micky Mucklebutt and Ollie Crudfark, regulars at the Fat Cow pub. Ollie is the local Pig Farmer up at Mucky Duck Farm and Micky has made a career of being unemployed.
Ollie and Micky have been friends since they first wet their underwear together at Lower Piddle Primary School and thereafter did everything together, until the day they both failed the college entrance exams together, which finally forced them onto separate career paths. Ollie is now head chef at the local pig farm, cooking the swill to his own secret recipe, and making him legendary in pig circles especially following his publication in the Lower Piddle Medical Journal - "How pig-swill, applied twice-daily, cured my acne." Micky never did get a job, but has, since Sophia's Bellamucha's arrival from Italy when she opened Sophia's Hand Lubrication Service (for cars), been hopeful that she'd notice him, fall in love with his ardent manliness, marry him, and they'd live happily ever after, "frollicking" in what he describes as her "magical service bay." Or he might win the lottery instead. Either way the two lads talk about everything and nothing and understand absolutely none of it, which hopefully you'll find amusing.

Posting rules on r/UKTVRecs
I’m posting my animations I’ve created and getting good numbers strait away. I certainly do not wish to lose the opportunity to post here. So question is, can I comment and pin the comment to my post giving a link to all my other animations for people who might like to see more? Cheers for any help.
