Rent Very British Problems: Series 1 (2015)

Synopsis:

"Very British Problems" sees some of Britain's most famous faces share their struggles against the endless capacity of social awkwardness which comes with being British. Originating from a Twitter feed, which amassed 1.1 million followers, 'Very British Problems' features hilarious and engagingly wry observations about life as an uptight, tea-guzzling, weather-obsessed, queue-loving Brit from some of the U.K's most famous names. Why can Brits be furious enough to tut, but shudder at the thought of complaining? Why do they spend so much of their lives apologising to inanimate objects? We discover that the British are almost totally incapable of expressing their emotions - Brits would rather throw their food away in a restaurant toilet than complain to the waiter, feel compelled to tell a hairdresser that they love a terrible haircut and have no idea how to receive a compliment. The hidden rage felt when bad queuing is observed and we find out why every Brit says sorry at least eight times a day and how confused and angry we get about tipping. How many times is it acceptable to ask someone to repeat themselves before you just have to nod, chuckle and hope for the best? For the British, being in public comes with an obligation to be polite, but being polite in the UK is very complicated. Narrated by the quick witted Dame Julie Walters, the likes of James Cordon, Jonathan Ross, Freddie Flintoff, Nigel Havers, Vic Reeves, Ruth Jones and Stephen Mangan share with us their hilarious, personal experiences and opinions as to why our nation has a peculiar ability to find confusion, embarrassment and social awkwardness at every turn. Often hilarious, always interesting and at times even thought provoking, this entertaining series is great viewing.
