Funny, as a non-Brit I find current TV better than the older stuff I know. Neither Dr Who nor Little Britain were ever my cup of tea and as much as I like Monty Python, I can't imagine to ever binge that because after a while it's too weird for me.

OTOH I like Taskmaster, Cats Does Countdown, The Lazarus Project, and Slow Horses a lot. Does Ted Lasso count? That's great, too.

Careful, otherwise you'll get 5 seasons of Naked Jungle with Les Dennis.

You should see what America is putting on television. Oh wait, you probably have since it’s the same boring shit that was there 20 years ago.

I much prefer British television to American, and I’m not British.
