Who said it: This Country or a famous philosopher?

We give you a quote of scintillating insight. One that was either said by a real-life titan of philosophy (Plato, Jean-Paul Satre, Sun Tzu, or one of those types), or Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe. You just have to pick the right one. It is harder than it looks.

Two Baftas meant BBC3's mockumentary could no longer be described as underrated. Could it cash those high expectations with a better second series? Yes. Charlie and Daisy May Cooper's snapshots of two wastrel cousins in a knackered Cotswolds village welcomed newcomers with a fresh torrent of stupid antics and twisted one-liners, particularly from Daisy May Cooper as both Kerry Mucklow and her mother Sue, who's becoming one of the great never-seen comedy characters. It was more sturdily put together this year, too, with some textbook sitcom plotting and stronger pathos, as we saw what matters to these young people who are so hilariously careless on the surface.
