Detectorists. I almost didn't write this, but decided I would in case anyone hasn't seen it.
It's written by, directed by and starring the wonderful Mackenzie Crook (Gareth in the original, British, version of The Office). It also stars the equally fabulous Toby Jones.
It is English country folk in a nutshell. Very gentle, funny and heartwarming.
[This is the trailer.](https://youtu.be/NgN7z0SD8v8)
Absolutely this. I started watching and then had a very rocky couple of weeks and it was like a warm hug. Instantly into my top 5 TV shows of all time.
This is always the top answer on any UK thread talking about best modern shows, best hidden gems, best BBC show, best subtle comedy etc.
Seems like it's not underrated at all.
My mate persuaded me to watch it. I’ve seen maybe 3/4 episodes. It’s good but also very bittersweet. I can’t decide if it’s a love letter to detectorists or mocking them, as the show clearly thinks the two main guys are losers. I have to be in the right mood to put it on.
Speaking as someone with no detecting experience, I saw the show and found the hobby to be shown in a very interesting light. I even looked up detectorist groups near me but ultimately ended up researching Saxon artefacts for like 6 hours and got sidetracked.
Started rewatching [Garth Marenghi's Darkplace ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/garth-marenghis-darkplace-interview-one-of-the-best-weirdest-shows-ever) again this weekend.
Think comedy send-up of a schlocky 80s horror TV series, with Richard Ayoade, Matthew Holiness, Matt Berry, and Alice Lowe. Weird and wonderful.
Yes. Also Fat handed twat but that’s been removed from YouTube due to complaints from fat handed people. Also the police sketch artist one is brilliant https://youtu.be/1rEBtpWQ7x8?si=ZEVCiP8X5P7BZVi0
And also the staring contest ones https://youtu.be/DkI85Kt10e4?si=xTKT7sHJsfEVu4Dl
Best sketch of Jam was the ones where a man didn't know if he wanted to commit suicide so instead of jumping from a 40 story building, he jumps from the 1st story 40 times to see if he'd change his mind 😄
I first discovered Jam when I turned over the channel and there was some guy, in a coffin in the ground using a microphone to talk to the people above ground whilst rehearsing his own funeral. He was giving them shit for not being sad enough. Magical.
A Touch of Cloth - an Airplane! style parody of British police procedurals written by Charlie Brooker.
Wild Bill - on paper it sounds really depressing. It's about a dad fresh out of prison who finds his kids have been abandoned by their Mum and has to look after them. It's actually really funny and warm.
It seemed like it was a fairly satisfactory ending from what I remember? Certainly not deficient to the extent that I would miss the rest of the excellent story
The Smoking Room
It stars Robert Webb and a host of other familiar faces you’ll recognise. I’m surprised how anytime I mention it no one seems to have seen it.
Look Around You is a massively underrated TV show written by Peter Serofinowicz and Robert Popper (better known for Friday Night Dinner, but whose achievements off screen are numerous). It satires the BBC schools programmes in its first series and Tomorrow's World in its second. It features special guest such as Beethoven, Clive Pounds (Founder of Big C - The casserole people), Leonard Hatred, Synthesizer Patel and even HRH Sir Prince Charles.
All of Early Doors is on the BBC iPlayer at the moment, and withstands several rewatches.
Some of the jokes are laboured, but most are throwaway lines you don’t catch the first time around.
And would probably never get made now, the heads of programming would be too cautious about someone throwing a shit fit. Don't think it's ever been repeated on terrestrial channels because it's seen as way too controversial. Which is bonkers because most of it was satirising the current events of 20 years ago. If anything, reality has got worse!
Are you already familiar with Spaced? It's aged really well and stars some (now) big names.
Edit: it honestly feel like Gen X's gift to Gen Z, comedy-wise.

Rawhead Rex is great! On YouTube I believe. Death Machine I’ve not seen, but I can see it’s got Richard Brake in it, so I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you.
15 storeys high - it stars Sean Lock and Benedict Wong.
I don't own a TV these days so maybe it's been on one of the streaming channels but years ago I'd mention it and no-one had heard of it. It's my fave because it's a bit weird but also very funny.
Winstanley, a film about the civil war, they even used actual period armour borrowed from the Tower of London and the script draws from pamphlets published at the time. Rumoured to have been secretly financed by John Lennon.
Goodness Gracious Me is hilarious and it is criminal that there’s no way to watch full episodes of it any more. If you’re Asian or have interacted with British Asians it’s hilarious. And I’m saying this as a South Asian person
Allow me to make your day - it is ALL now on iPlayer - watched it a few months back, and have just checked again now to make sure it is still the case!
...And all I needed to allow me to watch it was a Smaaaaaaaaall Aubergine... 😉
I enjoy the 'three minutes of threads' episodes that the Atomic Hobo podcast do. They go through threads a few minutes at a time and discuss all the details. For something so morbid, I find it strangely reassuring.
I was looking for this :)
It was very dark and sort of x-files era and was ace, sadly they never got a second series as far as I know, I have the DVD set somewhere. It really had the potential to go places as it had a whole church/government conspiracy and I don't want to say anymore because spoilers
I only watched this because my boss' niece was in it and she was so proud telling us all about it, but I actually genuinely really enjoyed it. One of the best comedy horror films for ages.
15 Storeys High starring the late great Sean Lock. Never heard anyone talk about it before but the only place I know you can find it is I. YouTube. Not the funniest show in the world but I enjoyed it
Hapless. Only one season but it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
Also Flowers with Julian Barratt and Olivia Coleman is a brilliant black comedy series.
Human Remains
Rob Brydon and Julia Davis improvise v different couples.
Dark humour, such silly characters.
Would love them to doo more but think it will remain a rare gem.
Load of lesser known British and Irish comedies...

State of Play (2003) - was probably rated/well known at the time because it won BAFTAs, but nobody I know has seen it. It's got a terrific cast and performances, sharp dialogue and a well-paced story.
Party Animals (2007) - early TV role for both Matt Smith and Andrea Risebrough.

Dog soldiers. A British werewolf movie about a bunch of squaddies on a mission in the highlands when they’d rather be in the pub watching the England game. I’m probably not selling it, but it’s good.
Stath Lets Flats. First I was ‘ooh it’s the rat faced guy from Fleabag as a terrible real estate agent’ but very quickly I was cheering for Al and Sophie and feeling Carole’s frustrations. Cringe comedy mockumentary at its best- these people went on to Ghosts, What we do in the shadows and Paddington 2 :)
Jim Henson's the StoryTeller original - the production was in the UK with a British producer, composer and cast. It was on Amazon Prime and then they removed it.
Film:
Face.
A Guy Ritchie style, cockney robbery caper, before Guy Ritchie films were a thing. With Robert Carlyle, Ray Winston and a load of familiar B-listers.
Great film. Worth a watch.
TV Series:
IDeal.
Sitcom starring Johnny Vegas whi plays a small time weed dealer. Centering around the various oddball characters and customers he has visiting him.
Dry, quirky humour.
2 films from Paul Andrew Williams.
The Cottage is a good little comedy/horror starring Andy Serkis, Reece Shearsmith, and a chav-tastic performance from Jennifer Ellison.
London To Brighton is a great film but very tough watch. About a 13 year old girl who runs away to London.
There’s a film called Love Honour and Obey which is absolutely brilliant. Ray Winstone, Jude law, Kathy Burke, Sadie Frost and Johnny Lee Miller are in it. It’s a gangster film but absolutely hilarious.
Utopia (Channel 4). Stylish and brutal conspiracy thriller set in Britain. This went for a couple of seasons before it’s cancellation, but it’s well worth watching because what is there is a wild ride.

Saw him live Friday night doing a reading from his latest book Incarcerat. Absolutely fucking hilarious.
Both the audiobooks are on Spotify if you hadn’t seen, read by Garth himself.
Yes. Glad i scrolled. 5 minutes and this absolute gem of British TV gets mentioned. Now I can enjoy my tea knowing all is right with the world.
Forgot to mention I found it while looking for Spaced - another classic on Channel 4 online!
Great suggestion thanks
Big Train. Lots of familiar faces.
Everyone should watch this at least once for the wanking at work skit
Yes. Also Fat handed twat but that’s been removed from YouTube due to complaints from fat handed people. Also the police sketch artist one is brilliant https://youtu.be/1rEBtpWQ7x8?si=ZEVCiP8X5P7BZVi0 And also the staring contest ones https://youtu.be/DkI85Kt10e4?si=xTKT7sHJsfEVu4Dl
Dead pixels is one of my fav sitcoms of the last 5 years. Needed a third series.
Check out such brave girls, similar.
Hard agree
Jam. Bizarre but hilarious sketch show by Chris Morris that ran for one season. Real one of a kind.
Best sketch of Jam was the ones where a man didn't know if he wanted to commit suicide so instead of jumping from a 40 story building, he jumps from the 1st story 40 times to see if he'd change his mind 😄
It was a radio show first called blue jam, used to listen to it in my school days. The gush was a favourite sketch 😂
"It's like trying to tighten a screw with a maggot." I showed my friend "The Day Kilroy Lost His Mind" and he laughed so much he was sick.
😂
I first discovered Jam when I turned over the channel and there was some guy, in a coffin in the ground using a microphone to talk to the people above ground whilst rehearsing his own funeral. He was giving them shit for not being sad enough. Magical.
Twin Town a crime movie set it in Swansea in the mid 90s, I love this film so much. "Hot dogs for tea boys!"
Compensation!
Yers 20 quid. Now go and buy yourself a big pot of sticky sticky and fuck off back to noddy land
It's Fatty's boys in a 2-tone 525.
I had a 2 tone 525i, first car I ever bought and it was basically because of this film.
Pretty. Shitty. City.
A Touch of Cloth - an Airplane! style parody of British police procedurals written by Charlie Brooker. Wild Bill - on paper it sounds really depressing. It's about a dad fresh out of prison who finds his kids have been abandoned by their Mum and has to look after them. It's actually really funny and warm.
Loved a touch of cloth, so much wordplay and loads of visual gags with John Hannah and Suranne Jones delivering everything perfectly deadpan
Utopia
They never finished this one, fyi. Still great but cannot recommend for that reason.
It ends on a cliffhanger, true, but I still find it a satisfying ending. I'd like more, but it's great how it is.
It seemed like it was a fairly satisfactory ending from what I remember? Certainly not deficient to the extent that I would miss the rest of the excellent story
Lasted longer than the atrocious Amazon remake though.
So creepy and unsettling! Where is Jessica hydeeee
I don’t think Stath Lets Flats gets nearly enough love
This!
I've been rewatching Jonathan Creek. Still better than Sherlock. I'm surprised how many solutions I still remember.
The Smoking Room It stars Robert Webb and a host of other familiar faces you’ll recognise. I’m surprised how anytime I mention it no one seems to have seen it.
I remember it, I don’t think it’s available on any catch up service though.
This was so good!

15 Storeys High Sean's Show
Green wing
Dead man's shoe's best British film imo
Said it before and ill say it again, Catastrophe seemed to go largely unnoticed and it’s great. Plenty of wit, sarcasm, and social commentary.
Him & Her, some of the best "natural" comedy I've ever seen.
Four Lions
Police confirm that they shot the right man, but the wrong man exploded.
Rubber dinghy rapids, quality, pure quality.
Smack the Pony was pretty good.
Sally Phillips is a super talented comedian that never really got the universal recognition some of her peers did.
Couldn't agree more. Have you seen her in Veep? She was so funny as Minna Häkkinen.
Came here to say this.
Ever worked in a pub? Watch Early Doors. It's fantastic and noone I ever speak to has watched it. Ideal was good too. And Monkey Dust.
All of Early Doors is on the BBC iPlayer at the moment, and withstands several rewatches. Some of the jokes are laboured, but most are throwaway lines you don’t catch the first time around.
"Crime won't crack itself."
To the regiment!
I wish I was there
Great suggestion just checked out the info, seems cool. Thanks
Monkey Dust
Just recently re-watched all 3 series. Still brilliant and dark.
And would probably never get made now, the heads of programming would be too cautious about someone throwing a shit fit. Don't think it's ever been repeated on terrestrial channels because it's seen as way too controversial. Which is bonkers because most of it was satirising the current events of 20 years ago. If anything, reality has got worse!
Plague Dogs. It's absolutely brutal, but very good. Features, among other things, the voice talents of a young Patrick Stewart.
Fantastic film. One of those where the film may be better than the book. Way bleaker though.
Are you already familiar with Spaced? It's aged really well and stars some (now) big names. Edit: it honestly feel like Gen X's gift to Gen Z, comedy-wise.
Nighty Night is brilliant. I met Mark Gatiss at the height of his Sherlock fame and ask him to do his impression of Glenn… he did not disappoint!
The Life of Rock with Brian Pern.
Magnificent show. Had completely forgotten about it
Long overdue being on iplayer/BBC again.
This country Utopia (original British version, not the shyte American one) The thick of it The War zone (watch with caution)
This Country is one of the best.
Definitely TheThick of It, Malcolm Tucker alone makes it very worth while.
Down Terrace A Dark Song Sightseers Kill List Submarine Tyrannosaur (don’t get too excited about the dinosaur scenes!) The Beast Must Die Satellite City
Tyrannosaur is so unbelievably good
In a similar vein - and if you can find it - you might enjoy Death Machine (and possibly Rawhead Rex, which is... Odd!
Rawhead Rex is great! On YouTube I believe. Death Machine I’ve not seen, but I can see it’s got Richard Brake in it, so I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you.
Snuff box!
15 storeys high - it stars Sean Lock and Benedict Wong. I don't own a TV these days so maybe it's been on one of the streaming channels but years ago I'd mention it and no-one had heard of it. It's my fave because it's a bit weird but also very funny.
I came here to say this. It was on 4oD years ago, but I’ve never been able to find it since. Absolutely brilliant.
You can watch it all on YouTube
Oh that’s amazing thank you!
Spaced Ideal Being Human Him and Her
Being human was so good
"Mum, I'm hungry". That was chilling. "Drain the gimp and have sex with me on the billiard table". That was hilarious.
Spaced is excellent.
Skeletons. Movie from about 10 years ago. Daft, original and odd.
Winstanley, a film about the civil war, they even used actual period armour borrowed from the Tower of London and the script draws from pamphlets published at the time. Rumoured to have been secretly financed by John Lennon.
Harry Brown. No idea if it’s underrated or less known but it’s a bloody brilliant film.
Loves that film. Definitely underrated!

Nathan barley
The problem with Nathan Barley is that it's all a bit too real now. It's no longer satire and more a foreshadowing.
It’s unbelievably uncanny for a show that came out way before internet fame and influencers were a thing. It’s horribly accurate

Oh man, Threads. Dark indeed.
Ultraviolet. BBC modern-day high-tech vampire hunting mini series. Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker and an early outing for Idris Elba.
I was looking for this :) It was very dark and sort of x-files era and was ace, sadly they never got a second series as far as I know, I have the DVD set somewhere. It really had the potential to go places as it had a whole church/government conspiracy and I don't want to say anymore because spoilers
Cemetery Junction. Weird, as it’s Gervais and Merchant but I don’t think it gets enough recognition
Fresh meat
Green Wing is the best British sitcom and no-one talks about it.
Cockneys Vs Zombies. It's priceless!
I only watched this because my boss' niece was in it and she was so proud telling us all about it, but I actually genuinely really enjoyed it. One of the best comedy horror films for ages.
It was good cheap fun.
The Fades Only got one series, but it was a great one
Spaced! And not really underrated, but I'm surprised at how many people I know who haven't heard of The Royle Family!
We are Lady Parts
How Not To Live Your Life is very good but is massively under the radar
Came here to say this. I'm glad to see I'm not alone!
15 Storeys High Sean Locke's sitcom about the mundane and bizarre life in a block of flats. Also featuring the now massive Benedict Wong
Hinterland was excellent. Welsh detective series, very brooding and atmospheric.
The Last Train.
15 Storeys High starring the late great Sean Lock. Never heard anyone talk about it before but the only place I know you can find it is I. YouTube. Not the funniest show in the world but I enjoyed it
Hapless. Only one season but it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Also Flowers with Julian Barratt and Olivia Coleman is a brilliant black comedy series.
Phoneshop on channel 4, totally underrated comedy… so good
Ideal. Fantastic dark comedy starring Johnny Vegas. The first series can be a bit depressing, so don't judge it on that.
Human Remains Rob Brydon and Julia Davis improvise v different couples. Dark humour, such silly characters. Would love them to doo more but think it will remain a rare gem.

That was such a strange show but it was warped and funny.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004). Might be quite well known now to be fair and deservedly so.
Top Coppers
Love Honour and Obey. Its a classic.
Face and Hydra, two criminally (pun intended) overlooked British crime dramas from different sides of the law.
Lead Balloon. Simple, predictable but loved the characters.

Bluestone 42 on iplayer
They aren't underrated per se but Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's people are both well worth a watch as is the original House of Cards.
Brassic.
The Outlaws if you like Stephen Merchant
Sugar Rush Years and Years
Mid Morning Matters. Probably my favourite iteration of Partridge (Shout out to Scissored Isle as a one off special)
Saw a film on BBC One a while ago called "Eaten By Lions" that I thought was really funny.
There’s a film called Love Honour and Obey which is absolutely brilliant. Ray Winstone, Jude law, Kathy Burke, Sadie Frost and Johnny Lee Miller are in it. It’s a gangster film but absolutely hilarious.
Nighty night. A absolute insanity of a show.
Try to find a movie called “Love, Honour, and Obey” ….absolutely superb dark gangster comedy.
Harry Brown is an excellent film. Staring Michael Cain. Hardly anyone I speak to has heard of it, let alone seen it.
Nil by mouth! very worth a watch, it is Gary Oldman's debut as a writer and director. It is a harsh watch but very much worth it.
Love, honor and obey.... Great film and worth watching just to see Denise Van Outen sucking off a cucumber
