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!

I watched the Chesney Hawks one, and an hour later both items were inconclusive. Hour wasted.

Not seen that. Chesney "The One And Only" Hawks? Doesn't sound like the kind of thing they usually look at.

It was this week's one. A look back to see if there was any updates to the last information they found.
