Half of British Television Always Starts Like This

BBC is funded by tax dollars. Gotta promote tourism.

only half?

The white man comment is a bit odd tbh cause its universally almost always women doing these shows

"tree"

Lmao.

Tree.

This is definitely gonna go places.

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

100% spot on

Shouldn't isn't it be pronounced innit?

ахахахаххахаха

In this comment, I’ll be criticizing an historical fact about Cornwall or slight mis pronunciation of a Welsh town name from the programme.

In this comment, I’ll be pointing out a better train that the presenter could have taken in order to see a different Loch in Scotland, whilst highlighting that I preferred the Radio 4 version

In this comment I’ll be criticizing the frivolous spending of license payer money, whilst simultaneously criticizing the quality of BBC programmes

In this comment I’ll be reminding people that the presenter used to be a widely disliked Tory politician or semi cancelled sports personality whom I much admire nowadays/can’t stand him

My exact beef with Michael Palin

I don't watch British television but all the freaking British documentaries that get in my recomendations start exactly like this, just less emotional and with a louder music track to cover up how the presenter couldn't be arsed to pretend.

It's been a year since this video was uploaded. Why I see it only now? Hilarious

This is absolutely bang-on hiliarious. Every single celebrity docutainment show on everything from the BBC to Channel 5 starts like this. You always know you can skip at least the first 90 seconds before they'll actually start the wretched thing!

Cunk on earth

The other half of British television is woman in her mid 30s travels Britain. ...again.

At first i thought this was legit 😂

this is very accurate somehow

“TREE”

England is very boring sad country

If you happened to go to the same public school as the TV company's commissioning editor you're set for life making these programmes.

Three gits randomly drive through and make a mess of the place in stupidly expensive or just stupid-looking cars.

I like you…Middle Aged White Man 🇬🇧

Perfect

"This scissored isle!"

Quick question: Why does Professor Brian Cox have to go on an all-expenses-paid, round-the-world, 2-month-long holiday to tell us about space?

I used to like watching BBC and Channel 4 history programmes on WWI/WWII but they're all like this now. They treat the audience like complete idiots...

"In my quest to uncover the story of D-Day, I've come to this firing range to find out just how deadly a machine gun is."

The presenter will then shoot a few rounds at some melons, or a metal plate for a bit, which will be shown from multiple angles, then examine the results and act shocked that the target is full of holes and how it really "rams home the horrors of war." Dan Snow is one of the worst for it.

I’ve always laughed at how those poncy middleclass actors keep coming back to the bbc whenever they are SKINT and every time those bbc snobs line their pockets with the fee payers money.

Don’t forget the new subgenre of melancholy men talking, because its good to talk, although by the end of most of those types of programmes you have such a sense of your own impending mortality you want to blow your brains out.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Spot on 😂

Tree. 😂

20 seconds into the video and I was already in a siesta that keep going on for 3 hours (that's what we use British TV for here in Spain)

You sound a bit jealous and bitter, I wonder why that might be.

What on Earth has being white got to do with it?

If you had put an eastenders advert afterwards, followed by the bbc one screen and the person talking about what’s on the rest of the evening this could actually pass as real 😂

"Tree 😁"

you forgot that one part when the host has to talk really loudly because there is something very cool making lots of noise in the background.

Quality. As Homer Simpson said "It's funny because it's true".

Very good work, however, Philomena Cunk has set a very high bar.

Its always "the Best of Britain" LOL

“Visiting countries, you’ll never be able to afford to go to yourself,” (paraphrase). That line caught me. I won’t, sad but true.

are you the BBC?
