British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2018This Country review
More comic perfection from brother and sister writers and actors Charlie and Daisy Cooper, revealing the tedium of country life for young people.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 6th March 2018This Country, Series 2, Episode 2, reviiew
Tedium has never been so hilarious.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th March 2018This Country, Series 2 review
Another welcome chance to keep it real with our lovable country cousins.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 26th February 2018This Country: Return to Planet Mucklowe
Daisy and Charlie Cooper are back for a second series of their hit comedy, and it's funnier than ever.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 22nd February 2018TV/Online review: This Country, BBC Three
The comedy here is very much in the margins. In a look or an aside.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st February 2018Daisy and Charlie Cooper interview
The brother-sister duo behind the revolutionary BBC comedy on their childhood feuds, "the Mr Perkins scandal", and stalking Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen in Cirencester.
The New Statesman, 20th February 2018BBC Three has released some excellent comedy over the last few years -- Fleabag, Pls Like, People Just Do Nothing -- but This Country marks the crowning jewel of 2017's output. Basically The Office for the Cotswolds, the series focusses on Kerry and Kurtain, two imbecilic cousins who cause trouble for everyone around them. Writers/siblings Charlie and Daisy Cooper play the bumbling duo with hilarious ease, poking fun at life in the West Country while also showing compassion for the people they're mocking. Where Hot Fuzz focussed on an entire town, though, This Country boils everything down to our insular, arrogant, terrible twosome.
