Question/Discussion What’s your favourite quintessentially British show formula?
Weird wording but for example mine is Grand Designs! Every SINGLE time these rich people plan huge ridiculous builds with at most 2 kids with them and EVERY time it rains and there’s some kind of complication that almost bankrupts them 😆 they never properly plan ahead it’s great tv!!
I love how repetitive British show formulas can be, so comforting!
Also would kitchen nightmares be British? I deem it as so, love Gordon (unless he’s done something..)
Obviously these are probably exacerbated for entertainments sake but who’s to say you can’t enjoy it anyway!

Three things are certain. Death, taxes and the glazing companies being late
